5 “Must Do’s” in assessing an Online Business Opportunity
wonders what business opportunities can produce a
real income and which are scams? If you are looking
for a good affiliate marketing program or a building
Course investment is necessary to cut the chase. With ‘
overwhelming promises that are out there today, it seems
impossible to know which way to turn for real information.
I spent the last 8 years of research, testing and revision
business opportunities. Most of them are scams or programs
with a lot of promotion, but little potential. Here are the 5
things that I found to be important in the assessment of business
opportunities.
1. Who is behind the business?
You can learn a lot simply by picking up the phone and call.
But do not be surprised if 90% of business opportunities outside
there do not have a telephone number associated with the site.
2.5% have a phone number with a machine poor response quality.
And the other 2.5% are ‘slick willy’ ready to burn your
credit card.
Yes, it will cost a few pennies to talk to the business
but the owner is a financial investment in your future. Here are some
things to note when you do get a real person. First, it asks whether
he / she is the owner. Second, if you do not have a clear website
explain what their business opportunity is about to request information
the things they feel are missing. Remember, if you want to get close
the owner, who will probably give you about 5-10 minutes
their time so that you know the questions before you pick up the phone.
Other tips to remember are: If they try to sell in the first
minutes are more than likely just trying to get in your
pockets. If it comes to responding to shareholder questions, ask to speak
with the owner. If someone is hiding, it is because
I really am too busy to talk to you or have just taken
someone who is able to punch your credit card number.
Most of the people who provide a phone number are working
legitimate, but use your own good instincts and ask intelligent
questions and you learn a lot.
2. There are cases pending?
When I was searching for business opportunities than I
often type into Google the company name followed by the word
‘Cause’. If there is a lawsuit pending, usually show
up in the top 20 lists. Whether you are trying to find out
if the hottest real estate guru is the real deal or the last
Internet marketing, those usually do not wash themselves
quickly. An important point to remember is to check
lawsuit. Sometimes people are just out to smear and make a
good person look bad. It does not happen often but it happens.
3. The promise of business opportunities you’re the ‘? World
Have you seen the infomercials or read the ads for companies
opportunity to make statements like “Make, 000 next week and
Click here to see how Bob did it! “O” Sally worked only 1 hour
one day and done, 000 his first week! “It ‘s obvious that
trying to get you to read further or take action and make a purchase.
And there’s nothing wrong per se with the marketing. People
expect to be sold. But be skeptical when the offer says you can
do a lot of money in a short period of time. If it sounds too
good to be true, it probably is. All companies need to work and
have a period of time it takes to get up and running and most
importantly, profitable. Get rich quick schemes are usually
scams.
4. What is the warranty?
This is kind of complicated because there are companies
opportunities that offer a guarantee but not the honor. E
obtain a refund can be almost impossible. You can protect
you using an American Express business card or go to
Google newsgroup, type the business opportunity and see if
There are reports of this kind. Again, call and
speak with the owner of business opportunities. If you see a
claim, he / she over it.
Over time, most companies hold their coverage. Go for those
warranties which exceed 30 days. And in general, those
offering one-year warranty are solid business opportunities.
A good thing to do is print out their coverage just in case
ever changes. In this way you have the physical evidence.
5. Ask the test?
Again, most people ask questions about their business opportunities
without providing any evidence. If you are looking for a network
marketing opportunities, the company must provide an annual
report of the distribution of income among its representatives. Will
find that very few network marketing business opportunities have
a large number of people making a lot of money. Some business
opportunities post bank statements with important information
obscured. This can be useful information. But for the most
hand, most of business opportunities that make claims
are difficult to justify. This is where all your
Research meets and you must use your best judgment.
