Home-Based Business Wannabes Survival Guide: Part 2
Overview
Online marketing, especially direct sales, is one of today’s fastest-growing industries. It offers a respectable business model that meets high demand while providing significant income for those committed to success. Unfortunately, the lucrative nature of this industry can also attract individuals looking to exploit others.
In the previous article, I shared three essential guidelines for newcomers to avoid being misled when exploring online business opportunities. Here, I’ll expand on those tips, offering deeper insights into researching companies, products, and marketing systems. By following this advice, you can save time, protect your investment, and avoid common pitfalls.
Scrutinize the Details
Start by visiting the company’s website. Examine their vision and mission statements. Do they have these statements? What are their long-term growth plans? Legitimate companies take these aspects seriously and make them visible to demonstrate their credibility and commitment.
Conduct a web search for negative publicity. While every company may face complaints, look for patterns. Persistent negative feedback often signals underlying issues. Be cautious, as some claims may be created to mislead you into other ventures.
Be wary if a company’s headquarters are offshore in places like the Caribbean or Panama. This might indicate motives that don't align with your business interests.
Be a Product of the Product
As mentioned previously, ensure the products are stand-alone and legitimate. Would you purchase the product without the associated marketing system? If not, it might be a money scheme rather than a genuine business, diminishing your success prospects.
You are likely in the right place if a company’s revenue comes predominantly from product sales. Be cautious if they focus on selling peripheral items, like lead sales, or charge high fees for duplicated websites. If they encourage alliances that benefit them financially, their priority might not be genuine product sales or your success.
Ask direct questions about financial allocations. If answers are unsatisfactory, move on. Many reputable companies exist, so don’t invest time with those offering only hype and uncertain promises. Speak with current consultants for insights into the company’s culture, training, and support offerings. If ongoing support is minimal once a product is purchased, the company may focus more on acquiring customers than nurturing them.
Keep the Earnings Flowing
Avoid companies that require you to forgo initial sales commissions. Once they have your money, ongoing support might diminish. Remember, this is your new career, so think long-term. Building strong customer relationships is crucial for sustaining profits over time.
The financial and lifestyle benefits of a successful online home-based business are exceptional. If you find a company with outstanding products, a strong financial foundation, a future vision, and a fair compensation plan that matches your efforts, pursue it wholeheartedly?"it could be your last career move.
Looking Ahead
In Part 3 of the Wannabes Survival Guide, I’ll outline the cost of starting an online business and the mental attributes needed for success. As Yogi Berra famously said, "90% of the game is half mental." While making significant money in online marketing isn’t overwhelmingly difficult, understanding the traits of successful entrepreneurs is key to thriving in this field. Wishing you the best in your journey!
