Is Your Home Business A Scam Or Not?

By Russell Howe


There are many companies out there which claim to be the best home based business opportunity on the internet. But one of the biggest areas of doubt among budding internet marketers is knowing how to check if an opportunity is genuine and safe before they jump in.

The first thing we'd like to do is assure you that there are indeed countless genuine, above board companies on the internet and many people who build their income from home.

Of course, for every great program there is a not-so-great program. For every safe and genuine opportunity there is one which doesn't stack up quite so well. Most people presume that anything they see on the internet is too good to be true, that reputation is largely because of the negative reputation of multi-level marketing companies which didn't work out.

When you take a look around the industry for yourself we are sure you'll see the type of opportunity we're pointing out here. There are around a thousand new affiliate programs starting up every day and barely any of them will stand the test of time.

Some of the problem sits on the shoulders of the people looking for an easy ride to success, of course. Even when they find a genuine company to work with they do not push themselves at all and as a result you will even notice well established companies such as Global Domains International being labelled as scams from time to time by bitter affiliates who didn't get the most from their opportunity.

In order to prevent future disappointment, it is highly important that you select an opportunity which is going to be long-term just like you are. It's no good switching programs every month and hoping to strike it lucky by being in the right company at the right moment.

There are a few small but very important checks you should do which will confirm whether your potential affiliate program is going to stay around long-term with you.

* The company should display a business license to prove it is genuine and real.

* The company should be products driven and approved by the Federal Trade Commission.

* Be sure you work with an opportunity which has already proven itself and established it's position in it's respective niche. Basically, don't put all your eggs into the basket of something which is only three days old.

MLM programs like to focus purely on their affiliate plans, this is a sure sign that they are going to provide a lackluster product which has no real value and, as a result, isn't worth joining because ultimately all members quit.

If you ever find it difficult to locate or obtain any confirmation of the safety and legality of an affiliate program you should take that as a sign. If a company is genuine, it will have no reservations of proving it to you immediately.

Today's three points will help you to determine the safety and legal standing of any online program, so the next time you see something which looks like the best home based business you have ever stumbled across be sure you run through today's checklist and see how it stacks up.
