I was in the Q for almost 5 years... I reached the 4000 PV pin level once and got a check for over $1500.. But when my list of friends and family ran out, my business went down the tubes. Then I spent the last 4 years of it feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't go out and 'add prospects to my list'.. I'm a little shy in person, so going out and meeting people at the mall was impossible for me...

After almost 4 years losing money, I threw in the towel and started to look for other businesses to be able to create an income online... And then it hit me..
Quixtar's all about "leveraging the power of the Internet" and "funneling people through a massive buying portal where you make a slice off of all of the sales in your organization"... and I'm all good for that...

But let me ask you this: why does Q NOT let you use the Internet to market your opportunity? It's in the Legal Bulletins in the back office, but you can NOT market your business online!

Funny than an internet based business won't let you use TECHNOLOGY to help grow your business for you.

Since then I've created a fulltime income online... ;o)

Hi

I am new to this site - not good with all this internet stuff.

Firstly Quixtar is NOT a scam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Secondly the TEAM principle is not 'Screwing' over people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been a client for 9 years before becoming an IBO - the products are brilliant - please read on!!!!!!!!!!

I was a distributor in the UK / European version Amivo.

There are always bad apples in any barrel - over here my support team have helped me for the last 14 years.

The mother company have been looking for a way to control the IBO groups as that is where real business power is and with new legislation coming into force across Europe - if you have any business links to Europe please contact me and I will send you some basic facts.

The mother company plan on changing the Quixtar brand name back to the original - they have done this here in the UK. People ALWAYS remember the bad so no matter how good something is it will become harder to build a sustainable income.

Prices are a key issue - but you pay for quality - however here in the UK the Compensation Plan has been changed - it is unlikely someone can build a quality sustainable income - the company are taking over the training (They have never sold a product or built a network!!!!! )

So it is NOT a scam!!!!!!!!! However if they continue the changes they plan it may become unworkable - will people keep buying through an online store? Yes.
Will they need the IBO's???????????????

Secondly the TEAM principle - our group applied this and WOW massive growth - with those who DO NOT buy books and tapes and attend seminars and with those few who like you are DETERMINED to succeed, you only need a few who wish to increase their skills to achieve the success they desire.

So on both counts let me reiterate - even though I am no longer an IBO Quixtar is not a scam - but you do need to do your due diligence especially on the rules and laws that will affect it and your ability to build it.

Secondly no single person is greater than a small determined group working in tandem for the success of all involved, where are people going to get the skills to do anything without being trained properly!!!!!!!! I believe it was Benjamin Franklin who said ' If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him'.

I am glad that the support given to me by those who really cared for me - not the products I could sell or the people I could sponsor - extended into a life time friendship. Where else can you sit with self made people who if you are willing, will train you for success.

I learnt how to manage money and myself!!!!!!!!!

Currently I am now developing several income streams which may be small, at present, but are reliable. An example of this is a Property Portfolio - which is currently worth about $1 000 000 - guided by my mentors.

I am continuing to develop myself to cope with people in all sorts of situations - I would recommend that you read ' The Richest Man in Babylon '

I wish you well in your endeavours - but please, do your due diligence as it may be that your efforts and talents could make you financially free, but do not rely on one income stream alone.
