subject: Royal Cruise Matrix - Direct Sales Opportunity Or Scam [print this page] Direct sales opportunities are the latest hot craze in the network marketing world. In this article I'd like to give you some information that will help you make a better decision on what work from home opportunity, if any, that you might decide to become involved in.
Companies and Opportunities Come and Go
But first, no matter what home based business opportunity you are considering, be aware that there is no guarantee that they will be around very long. The list of companies that have come crashing onto the scene, promising to make you rich and then disappearing is a long one. Some of them are scams from day one, their only intention being to get you to sign up for their prelaunch. They then sell your name to list brokers and shut down their entire operation.
So what do you look for next?
How much does it cost to get started and what are the reoccurring monthly costs? You want to know up front how much you will be investing on day one and what you will have to pay every month after that. Remember that your goal is to make money not spend it.
How much can you realistically expect to make? Don't believe all of the hype from the marketing materials. If you are a highly experienced network marketer with previous successes in this business, then you should expect to make a lot more money than the person who is just getting started. Base your financial expectations on your current and future skill levels.
How many hours per week are you willing to spend on this online opportunity? If you think that you can get into any opportunity expecting to make a lot of money without putting in a lot of time, then forget about it. That's how I felt when I first got started because I believed all the garbage from people promising the world. It won't happen. So even if this is a top home based business opportunity such as Royal Cruise Matrix, you will have to work hard to succeed.
To me the most important thing that you should take a serious look at is who your sponsor will be.
This will probably make or break your success with any opportunity. Talk to them, visit their website or watch their videos. Get a feel for them, do they seem like honest people who will work to help you? Do you have similar ideas on how to build a business?
