Legitimate Work At Home Opportunities: Questions To Avoid Scams!

By Kylon Trower

Diving into any home business without doing your due diligence to carefully seek out legitimate work at home opportunities could prove to be disastrous. Millions of dollars a year are lost by unsuspecting business opportunity seekers duped out of their hard earned money because they simply don't know what they are looking for.

Having the right questions to ask is critical as this will allow you to discern quickly whether a business or potential business partner are worth your time, energy and hard earned money. Here is my quick list of questions to ask prospective sponsors out the gate.

1. What are your companies primary product(s) or service offerings?

2. Does the company offer free training? Explain.

3. Tell me about your experience with the company and how long you have been a representative?

4. Are you currently working this business full or part time?

5. Without giving me a guarantee of earnings, what is a realistic expectation of earnings based on your training system and past performance?

6. What areas of the business are more difficult that I may encounter in the future?

7. What ind of track record does the company have and tell me about its management staff?

8. When and how do I get paid?

9. Do you recommend I speak with anyone else before I get started? Note: If a person blatantly answers "No" to this question it should raise a flag.

10. What other outside information, websites, etc. can I review to find out more?

These questions are in no way comprehensive but they do run the gamut without flat out asking someone if they are involved in a scam. Be smart about it and use common sense as the idea is not to interrogate the person you are talking to but to get information so you can make a conscious business decision. Be courteous and mindful of their time and this exercise will prove very beneficial in your search for legitimate work at home opportunities.
