Is Your Home Business A Scam Or Not?

By Russell Howe


If you are searching online for the best home based business program it is likely that you will come across thousands of programs which all claim to be the top dog. But one of the biggest problems for potential online marketers is that they don't know how to check if a potential business is as genuine as it first appears.

There are tens of thousands of genuine, legal and safe online businesses out there you can take your pick from, providing a means for thousands of people to build their family's income from the comfort of their home.
In today\'s video, Russ Howe teaches how to find the best home based business for you.


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.

The internet is the home of the 'instant success formula'. People are constantly being drawn into multi-level marketing programs which promise them crazy, easy success and then don't deliver. Is it the fault of the person for being so naive or is it the fault of the company for being untrustworthy? In our view, it's a bit of both.

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.

Before you begin working on something as time consuming as a business, you need to make sure the company you're working with is as long-term and serious as you.

So how do you discover whether or not a business is really genuine and here to stay for the long term?

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

* All businesses on the internet require approval by the FTC.

* The company should also have been in business for some considerable time.

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.

Before you get involved in anything which you believe to be the best home based business opportunity you have ever come across, it certainly pays to run these simple checks. If it comes through with flying colors then you know you can build your future with no doubt that the company you work with is going to be there with you all the way.
