FIVE WAYS TO EVALUATE AN ONLINE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY TO SEE IF IT'S RIGHT FOR YOU
|

So you've decided you want to work from home, and you've
signed up for a few of those 'Business Opportunity' mailing
lists. Every day there are interesting-looking possibilities
turning up in your email inbox... but how can you tell the
'real McCoys' from the 'get-rich-quick' scams that are
proliferating all over the Internet?
I've got some ideas about that, and I may be able to save
you some grief if I pass them directly on to you...
1. Is the business opportunity based on a tangible product
or service? Many online opportunities are simply based on
signing up as many recruits as possible, without
consideration for a viable product line.
Yet real opportunities exist online to build a business
selling everything from children's toys to ebooks to
health care products. If the product figures prominently
in the company information, is it a product that will sell,
to folks who will buy it? That may sound silly, but it
bears thinking about -- Elvis CDs may not be such a great
idea anymore, while nutritional supplements, for example,
are a hot item right now.
2. Is there plenty of company support or training to back
up whatever effort you are expected to make to sell the
product or service? In other words, does the company offer
you, as a representative, free web space, a free company
based email address, autoresponders, sales leads or any
other kinds of sales support?
If you have to set these all up yourself, it - continued below ...

can be time
consuming, confusing and expensive to get started.
3. Is there a way provided for you to connect with other
company representatives to share information, sales tips,
or success stories - for example, message areas, bulletin
boards, or an email discussion list? Successful online
businesses know that they need to keep their independent
consultants connected - to the business, and to one another.
4. Are you offered any 'offline' tools - business cards,
product information brochures, or catalogues, for example?
5. Is there an accessible customer service department for
representatives to be able to ask questions, get product
information, or track their orders?
These are all questions to ask yourself to evaluate
potential money-making business opportunities on the
Internet. There's lots of them 'out there,' but make sure
you do your homework first before you jump in to anything
you may later regret. Reputable businesses who are looking
for legitimate sales consultants to work independently won't
object to you researching to determine, first and foremost,
if the company will be there for you -- or just leave you to
your own resources in 'Never-Never-Net-Land.
