Online Scams, How do You Know? Free Tips from an Online Pro

By George L. Kenney


Please understand, you're not the only one. I speak to many people and receive emails from a lot as well who would like to have another stream of income from an online business. Most are afraid to do anything because of the fear of being wrong or being scammed.

So how can you tell what is real and what isn't? These are a few things you might want to consider when looking for a way to make money online. They are what you might call "red flags".

1. The company has no real product you are just paying to join so that you can recruit others in order to earn income. 2. Its difficult to reach people and have a "live" conversation. 3. Poorly constructed web sites that appear unprofessional. 4.Requesting payment information in order for you to take a "test drive it". This should be free. 5. Promising an income level for just signing up.

The following are things to look for when searching for an internet business opportunity.

1. Products which are current and up to date with the current market. You also want to have them in digital form. 2. Websites which appear professionally designed and are easy to navigate. 3. Access to talk to your sponsor as well as other leaders in the company. 4. A way to contact the founder of the company if you choose to. 5. Free test drives of the website. 6. A payment plan which fits your desire for immediate income and long term wealth building. 7. Training on a regular basis, this market changes so rapidly, you have to be able to keep up.

Online marketing can be fun and very lucrative. Making money online gives you freedom, you can work from almost anywhere and also whenever you want. You have the ability to leverage your time, money, and technology. You don't have to meet anyone in person. You don't need to do seminars or hold product parties in your home. And, you don't have to contact all of your friends and family to tell them about the latest lotion, potion, or juice.

To be truly successful you will have to work. Online marketing is a business you can start in just a few hours per day in the beginning. The most important thing in the beginning is that you make a commitment to do whatever it takes in order to be successful. If you truly want to make money in an online business, you should also commit to finding a mentor. You'll also want to become part of a group which is already having success and will assist you in becoming successful. This is critical in the beginning.
