Research is the key to success. Know what you are in for.
Here are some of my rules for joining online opportunities.
Be sure the opportunity is something you are really interested in and can commit to working at for the long term. Online businesses take many months of ongoing advertising before they start to bring in a trickle of income. And even years before they make a full time income.
(1) Check out http://www.whois.net to see who owns the business. See who owns the business like if you were buying a house or car.
(2) Check out who owns the domain name
(3) Check the site for Company (Owner) Name and address and contact telephone email etc.
(4) Make sure the above details are correct.
(5) Do a Google Search for scams. Place the opportunity/company name in google along with the word "scam"
(6) Check local Consumer Affairs Sites or local business magazines for scam information.
(7) Check posts in your online business communities or ask opinions from other members.
( Don't join paid to surf programs or sites where you give your details in any online form before you know exactly how the whole program or opportunity works. If its a genuine online business the site will tell you all about the opportunity before asking you to join. If you do this and steer clear of opportunities that sound too good to be true you may find a genuine opportunity.
