I was involved in LTD/Amway for 7 years. Long story short - religious, motivational scam artists.
They make most of their money from training, tool sales and conferences. I'm here to talk if someone needs a hand - it set out family back in more ways than one.
My experience with LTD/Amway.
Main Post:
Recently a friend of mine had been talking about her business, and when I asked about it she would only say something along the lines of "I was recently introduced to a couple who was able to grow their passive income and retire in their 30's, and they are mentoring me in growing a cash asset opportunity" and wouldn't really go into more detail, so I dropped it. Eventually we talked about it more and she told me she could talk to this couple and we could work together on this business, and I had red flags right away because every question I had was answered with very vague answers. Eventually I had a zoom meeting with her trainer or whatever, and I was told how great of an opportunity this is, how you can have a second income doing very little work, etc, but he still really wouldn't tell me anything. Instead I was given a website to visit, and an e-book to read (Chop Wood Carry Water.) The following week was another zoom meeting to discuss the website and the book, and still no answers, but he assured me all my questions would be answered at this meeting in a couple weeks. I go to this meeting and finally I learn that it's LTD and Amway, and the guys on stage talk about how it's not about how many customers you have but "quality of the customers you get" and how one of the guys only has 2 customers a month. They also go over the points, and how if you bring more people in you can earn 6 figures and go on all these trips and stuff. I play along till after the meeting because everyone there was some kind of banker, or engineer, or otherwise wealthy profession, and I knew all I needed to know. I texted my friend to tell her I wasn't going to go any further and told her my concerns, and she got a bit condescending I'm her replies back. I also texted the trainer and told him I'm out, and he also got condescending, replying "the slideshow at the info session went over all that, it's not a pyramid scheme because the people below can make more than the people at the top." I feel bad for people who fall into this trap, but experiencing it first hand I see how once these people drink the kool-aid, no amount of research or critical thinking is going to pull them out, and its sad.

don't waste your time when they wouldn't tell you the name of the company in the first 2 minutes of the conversation. this is a giant red flag already and could've saved you a lot of time

Opinions on ESP-LTD brand for basses?
Main Post:
Looking at buying a 5 string from them but I don’t know much about this brand and their quality.
Top Comment: I've had an LTD F4-E for ages, used for lower tunings with the 35" scale. Great well-made bass, super-fast neck. Electronics are a bit generic-sounding but that varies greatly by which model you're looking at.
Is the ESP LTD a solid mid-range guitar? The only thing i’m iffy about is the licensed floyd
Main Post:
I played an m-100 in my local shop and loved the way it felt. I’m also thinking of getting a jackson x series warrior
Top Comment: They’re not bad. Maybe look at the next model up. Jackson’s are good bang for the buck also.
LTD prices gone up?
Main Post:
Last week I bought an LTD EC100 with Evertune which was 1333 eur( I price matched it and got it for 1280) and this week the same guitar is 1400 eur?WTF?
Top Comment:
Yeah for ESP's budget line, LTD prices are getting fucking ridiculous...
LTD over Squier?
Main Post:
So, I have a Squier Classic Vibe Tele and I was looking for some ESP guitars, I found many intresting ones but they were all LTD. Is it worth it picking an LTD instead of a squier?
Top Comment: LTD are to ESP what Squier are to Fender. A generally more affordable range that mimics the more expensive range. As for whether it is worth picking an LTD over a Squier, well that depends on what you want from your guitar. The LTDs generally have more contemporary features and are geared towards heavier styles of music, not exclusively, but that's their wheel house. The Squiers are typically more traditional (especially the classic vibe range) although they do have a contemporary range as well, albeit not as good as the LTDs in my opinion. In short: Traditional style, vintage inspired guitar? Squier Modern style, contemporary spec'd guitar? LTD
Esp v Ltd — is there a big difference?
Main Post:
Looking at a Metallica guitar. They have it in LTD and as ESP (which obviously has huge price tag ) has anyone compared the sound ? Like is it HUGE difference in tone ? I realize the finish and craftsmanship in esp guitars is another level. Worth the extra $$$?!
Top Comment: Korean built LTDs are very well made and tend to have quality brand name hardware and components, you get a lot of value for the money.
LTD/Amway Tool scam explained by one of the higher up's.
Main Post:
I was a sapphire (one level under emerald) in business for years. One of the biggest misconception I see in the comments are about how the emeralds and diamonds in amway aren't millionaires. No, I can assure you from going to their houses and hanging out with them they are legit millionaires. The tool's is their main source of income as in the books and audio's they send to people. They make 60% of the 100 Dollar LTD media pack every single month just at the emerald position. I never truly found out diamond percentage but some people told me it was 75%. The audio's are literally just a download off their system that cost $9.00 that they could technically give away if they wanted. So basically the average diamond has over 1,000 people in their downline. If you do the math that's 60-75k a MONTH in tool sales they get outside of even the Amway money which is really good once you hit emerald level too. I'm not trying to defend them, but to say they aren't rich is just wrong. On top of that the conference tickets that they sell are $120 dollars a piece. And the weekly info sessions are $10 dollars. The LTD system makes them WAY more money then the Amway part of things. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I’m not sure when you were in, but tickets have been running $175 / $195 per person function, and the LTD app VIP costs $250 per month. So crazy.
One time our upline wanted to have a certain at the time Emerald couple come in and talk at our team meeting and the up upline laughed and said there was no way we would be able to afford their fee. They were charging $2500, plus travel / hotel to speak for an evening.
