I'm the victim of more home-business opportunity scams then anyone I know of. But I have to give myself credit. I'm still trying. The main internet marketing issues deal with rip-offs. It is hard to police such a wide open subject as the Internet. And frankly, even though I've been a victim, I wouldn't want too much restriction because normally it's the average joe like you and me who get affected the most. I think the best thing to do is educate everyone on what to look for and avoid.
What you should avoid when being offered a way to make money on the Internet is any hype. When you go through a sales letter is it just telling you about all the great cars and houses you'll get if you buy this package? If they can't list out what they can do then I would avoid that product like the plague.
The next thing you should look for is a money back guarantee. If there isn't one, I wouldn't bother. Also, check out their address and phone number. Make sure it's real. If they can't provide you either one then it's not worth it. Also, make sure they have customer service. If they don't then I wouldn't bother.
I would check with the Better Business Bureau and find out if there are any complaints connected with this company. You could also search for the product on the Internet and see if there are any articles or blogs regarding this product being a scam. The last product I purchased was a software that helped with Internet marketing. They have customer service. They have a money back guarantee. I've been using the product and so far so good.
What you should know is that even if you do everything I say you could still be fooled. These people are getting more and more crafty. One time I got "customer service" that was an answering machine. Nobody ever called me back. But if you use my tips I think you'll end up with better companies and better service.
