Every day more people are turning to online home based businesses to help them get through the current economic hard times. Lurking in the shadows are those who hope to capitalize on those who do not know their way around.
Over the years I have worked with and for numerous companies both over the internet and in person and have develop a knack a spotting the scams. There are a lot of similar characteristics and things to look out for.
The number one thing to remember is that your first impression is usually right so trust it. If you felt uneasy in the beginning head that advicce because your were probably right. If something looks off in the website, i.e. mispellings and things of that nature be wary.
Another red flag that will come up is the overpromising company. If they tell you you can make enourmous sums of money with little to no work put you guard up. Unfortunately, you still have to work for your money on the internet, sorry to dissapoint.
Second, narrow your list of legitimate companies and put together a set of questions to ask all of them. If possible see if you can speak to the owner of the company or see how high you can go. IF the president of the company is the one who recruited you then odds are its a 1 man shop so again, beware.
IF the internet has brough us anything, it has brough us information at the click of a finger, so use it. Go out and try to find some third party research companies who have reviewed the companies you are looking at. Just beware who you get your information from and make sure they are impartial, i.e. not getting paid!
Hopefully this article has not made you rule out starting your own internet business or working from home, because it can be very lucrative!
I am an internet business owner myself and love every minute of it! So get out there and find the company that best fits you.
