Business opportunity scams do exist. Before joining any company or opportunity it is your responsibility to do some research to avoid being a victim. With the state of the current economy, more and more people are turning to the Internet in an attempt to change their lifestyles. By arming yourself with some basic knowledge and practicing good research techniques you can be well on your way to making money online with a reputable company.
In this article we are going to address some of the ways to avoid being scammed.
Check with your mentor or any business associate you are comfortable with. In many cases the person looking into a business opportunity is already somewhat involved and maybe even comfortable with the Internet. By talking with your mentor or anyone else you trust, you can ascertain some great information. Best case scenario would be that the person releasing information to you is not involved with the opportunity you are looking at, this way their report will be truthful and not clouded by just wanting to get another signup into their business.
Google your potential sponsors name. This is a great way to find out more about your possible sponsor. You should see lots of results information after you query his/her name. Look for articles they may have written, or any social media sites they are involved with. Do they have a blog?, or a YouTube Channel, then follow these links to learn even more about him/her. Avoiding any possible business opportunity scam involves becoming familiar with your potential sponsor .Your sponsor should be dominating the first page results with any Google search.
MLM or networking can be a wonderful tool to earn money online and change your lifestyle. However, the majority of people I have met, have failed miserably at it. Do a gut check, and allow your feelings to help with your decision. Do not allow someone to simply tell you what to do and trust everything will be fine. Your heart and feelings can serve you well, if you let them.
If something does not feel right or it seems to good to be true, then your heart and inner self is telling you something...listen to this voice.
Here is a no-brainer to spotting a business opportunity scam a mile away. No product, if the opportunity or company does not offer any product and one that can actually help people then run the other way as fast as you can. Their must be a product involved with the company. MLM or network marketing is the tool these companies uses to drive business and grow. In addition to having a solid product, their must be good support and customer service in place to tie everything together.
Look for a duplicable system in place. If the company or opportunity you are looking to join cannot take the time to develop a system that works and is duplicable, then this lack of focus and commitment trickles down to all levels of the business model. People trying to get rich quick off your sweat and tears will not take the time to develop a duplicable marketing system. In order to be successful with MLM, or network marketing you have to be able to introduce your downline to a system that works and duplicates your efforts.
These are just some of the questions you need to ask yourself before joining any opportunity, so you do not become a business opportunity scam victim. Do your homework and research, find other people that do not have an agenda in the opportunity and search your feelings. Armed with this knowledge finding a legitimate opportunity can be fun and very profitable.
