I am not saying that all home based business programs are a scam, that they wont work or that they wont give you your money back. Obviously, that isn't true because if you're like me, you've done enough research to know that people all over the world, are making a lot of money using some of these programs. I personally am making money using a program or two. Here are a few things I v'e learned along the way about a few of those programs.
Home Business Programs That Seem Fishy To Me
1. I'm extremely skeptical of those programs that offer the Silver, Gold and Platinum memberships. These programs cost a lot to get into! I mean geesh, for the full deal it can be literally thousand's of dollars, some 10,000 or more. If I had that kind of money laying around just to spend, I wouldn't be needing a program.
I had ordered one such program just recently, thinking I could use some of the products they have by blending them in with what I am doing. I paid the required $10 to "weed out the tire kickers." When it came in my mail box, I listened to the short DVD and read the little booklet that came with it.
I knew right away that it was a 3 level program, and so, when the mentor called me this morning, I told her what I thought about it, briefly and nicely. Then I told her that I was making money online with a program and that cost barley anything.
This woman had been searching for a good home business. I briefly told her what I was doing. She was surprised when I told her that it does work and I think she may give it a try too. And why not?, I wasn't selling her anything, just telling her the truth, and she knew it.
2. I have found that the old saying "if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is", hits the nail on the head. There is no make money right now program, there is no auto pilot. You do have to work at it.
3. If the program your thinking of trying to use for your at home business, is using high pressured sales tactics to get you to pay for a bigger package, you may want to reconsider, and for Pete's sake, don't buy the bigger program.
4. During Google searches for most online companies to see if they are legit or not, turn's up a lot of pages that say some are scams. Some of those sites are review site's, designed to lead you in one of three places, all of which belong to them anyway, so they win -win-win.
5. Every one is trying to make money online! A lot of things designed to get you to give as much information to them as possible. By giving your e-mail or phone number. They can spam you with e-mail or call you repeatedly every day. It's annoying, and I rarely ever open that junk mail or answer the phone call's. I am not saying not to give your name and e mail, but if you are going to do that, you should set up a separate mailbox for those situations, you don't want the stuff that's spammy to be cluttering up the mail you do want.
Here are a few things we do know. We know that there are home based business programs that do work. We realize that any successful business venture requires a lot of learning and work if the business is going to make money. And we know that we want to make money online from home honestly and successfully.
Stick with me during my posts, as I go though the details of my online income earning adventure. I'll tell you tricks and tips of what works and what doesn't, when it comes to online home based businesses.
