There are so many money making opportunities that is considered a branch within the Network Marketingindustry with the likes of Multi Level Marketing (MLM).
By now there have been so many bad vibes with Network Marketing that it can be confusing andoverwhelming as to what to do to make money or how to tell if it’s for you or not.
We have written so many company and product reviews we thought about creating this step-by-stepchecklist to assist you in your research of what to look out for.
We feel that with all the online social media and distractions from marketers about having the best homebusiness, or best MLM, or even the best product is really not helping anyone.
The real problem is too many consumers are only joining these companies but they really haven’t taken the
liberty to really dig into finding out if the opportunity is legit or not.
The only advice they are getting are from the people who are showing videos and photos of them countingtheir cash and rubbing what they consider to be “Rich” in their faces who have absolutely zero credibility ortrust.
Soon as you see a landing page with fancy luxury cars, yachts, and the lifestyle by so called “gurus” youthink it is going to easy for you to get those same results.
This is why its important to look for that very important statement and review it called a “IncomeDisclaimer”.
This disclaimer helps you and the company you are getting involved with understand the terms that isaccordance with the FTC guidelines for money making opportunities.
We really care about helping people and seeing our students and business clients succeed.
So let’s find out how to evaluate a business opportunity properly.
How To Properly Evaluate A Home Based Business FAQ’s
The first thing to do after you been presented with a home based business opportunity or offer is to askyourself a few questions before signing the contract.
1. How is the leadership and management team in the company?2. Does the company practice good business ethics?3. What type of community support does the company provide?4. Is their training valuable and up to date in teaching you marketing skills?5. How much is the minimum order for Auto Ship?6. How much volume do I have to sell in order to earn my first commission check?7. Is the product a “Me Too Product” meaning the same type of product can be purchased at retailstores for far more less that offers the same benefits?8. Is the compensation plan too complex to understand?9. Are the leaders at the top the only ones getting paid much higher commissions than newmarketers who are not at that level?10. Is there a bunch of hype and exaggerated income claims with not enough proof?
Once you get your answers to each of these questions you have to decide if the home based businessopportunity is for you or not.
The truth is working from home for yourself is every entrepreneur’s dream and it can be a serious burden ifit is not a great fit for you.
The industry is different than working for a boss where your an employee and constantly being shadowedand told what to do everyday.
Your being told when to eat, when to take a vacation, and constantly missing out of special events that yourchild does during the day that you aren’t allowed to attend.
All for a lousy stinking paycheck that is in the amount of a peanut compared to type of six figure incomeyou be earning by becoming your own boss.
Now we aren’t saying that working a job is a bad thing but it makes sense to work part-time at your job andfull-time building your fortune.
That way when the day arrives that your part-time fortune is exceeding your full time job income you canquit your job and live that lifestyle of your dreams.
I’m sure you can totally relate to what is being stated here.
You have to understand that the home based business industry is not for everyone. Which is why it isimportant that you do take the time to ask as many questions before you sign that distributor contract.
If you have to ask the top executives and leaders how they are marketing their business in order to achievesuccess then do it.
It can’t hurt to ask them as a matter of fact that is how we been able to build relationships with the greatestof people who hold a seat at the top levels in the home based business industry.
If anything they want you to ask them questions that are relevant to your reasons for wanting to join thebusiness opportunity.
Just don’t get caught up in the 3 way edification trap you want to talk to one person, your already sold onthe idea of your choice but still have questions that’s important and needs answering.
If you can’t get the kind of support with the business you chosen then that is not a place for you to be apartof.
We have been involved with like companies that weren’t supportive in fact we can share with you somecrazy Network Marketing stories about how cruel the industry really is.
It wasn’t until we read the book by Mike Dillard, Magnetic Sponsoring and the “Coffee House Letter” thatreally opened our eyes to what is the hidden agenda behind MLM and how to be a professional internetmarketer.
Okay moving along here is a comprehensive list of what you should do as a form of your own duediligence.
1. Stay clear of the words “Ground Floor Opportunity” because this term is practically used by every homebased business so don’t fall for it.
2. Find out who are the founders and CEO’s of the company and run a complete background check bysearching their public profiles. Most of their information can be found publicly online but you can access bytyping in the full name in quotes in Google Search.
For Example let’s say we wanted to search background information on the owner or CEO of the companyyou plan to join. You would type it “Full Name” in the search bar.
3. Avoid making any decisions when you are upset or not in the right frame of mind. This can cause you tofall victim losing more than your shirt and miss out on seeing red flags.
Keep in mind what happened to Zeek Rewards for example they got shut down by the SEC as a Ponziand many people who invested their hard earned money lost it all.
4. Check the business trade name and registered business name with the state the company is supposedto be registered with by researching the business license files in order to validate the company. If thecompany is international then follow through with the same process in that country.
5. In Google type in the exact registered business headquarters address and click “Map” so you can view
from satellite if the company has a brick and mortar location or residence. *Some companies do have thebusiness from their home so caution yourself of that if they claim to be a million dollar corporation but yetare operating in a cloud based system with no address.
6. Read through company and product reviews and ask questions in the comments of the website it ispublished on.
