Online Scams, What to Watch for, Free Tips from an Online Pro

By George L. Kenney


I hope you know that you are not the only one. I communicate with many people every day who would like to earn a little extra. Most have a tremendous fear of making a mistake or being scammed.

How do you know if an online business opportunity is real or a scam? The following are a few things which you want to research while you are searching for a way to make money online. These are some of the "red flags".

1. There is not a product at all, you pay to sign up and then sign up others to make your income. 2. You can't contact people in order to find out information or ask questions and have a conversation. Or if you do reach someone, they are evasive in their answers. 3. Poor web site design and construction, which appears to be unprofessional. 4. Wanting a payment for you to go through specific parts of a site or take a test drive for more information.

The following are some of the things that you want to find when looking for an online opportunity.

1. Market driven products that are downloadable or digital. You don't want to wait or pay for shipping. 2. Well constructed web sites and marketing software that are professionally prepared. 3. The ability to have "live" conversations with your sponsor as well as people in the main office. 4. The name of the Founder and a means to get in touch with them. 5. The ability to test drive the site for free. 6. A compensation plan which is suitable to your needs and gives you the opportunity to create wealth. 7. Ongoing training to teach you step by step how to build your business and create wealth.

You can have a lot of FUN with online marketing as well as earn tremendous sums of money. Making money online gives you so many things that you might be searching for in your own life. For example, you can work from anywhere you choose, you can also work when you choose, this is true freedom. You also have an option of whether or not you want to meet with people face to face. You don't have to hold hotel meetings, and perhaps best of all, you don't have to contact all of your friends and family members and pester them to buy something they don't want or need.

It does take work, especially in the beginning. However, it is a business which can be started in just a few hours per day. The biggest question with getting started is will you commit to doing what it takes in the beginning in order to make your online business a success? If you are serious about making money online you should commit to finding a mentor. You'll want to associate with a person or group of people who are having success and will be with you every step of the way, to assist you in becoming a success.
