How to Start an Internet Business and Avoid Getting Scammed


In continuation of yesterdays blog, How to Start an Income Opportunity and Avoid Getting Scammed, let's move on . . .

How to avoid getting 'scammed'?  . . . Watch the language!

When you listen to the internet business presentation, listen carefully to the auditory pitch of the voice in testimonials. Does it sound like a paid, radio voice? Does the presenter sound disassociated and detached? Does it feel like they are not speaking from their heart? People have hard time lying. Listen beyond the words.

Listen for the testimonials. Are the numerical testimonies too good to be true? More often than not, the person giving the testimony of thousands on the first day or week, had a huge down line that they brought over from another company. This would be an example of deception through a misrepresentation.

Is the presenter using slick, never before heard terms and wording that you are not sure what it means? It just sounds good? Is there an indication, you give me money and IT will happen to you? Do you hear, 'It's so simple, with this easy simple system, a child could do it.' Really?

Does the presentation speak of easy riches, rewards, and benefits with only a few hours of work? How simple does it sound? Question it. Listen for the claims . . . does it work for everyone? Ask the HARD questions. Never make an impulse buy. Don't let someone close you or convince you in the moment. Avoid pushy people who bully to get you to get credit card out. It takes time to do thorough due diligence, think things through, and run the numbers. You are not scammed when the company is being upfront.

Scrutinize what you read on the internet. Can you actually contact the person and do they have a reputation for being helpful? Are they demonstrating that they can and will help? Get past the emotions and interact to learn more about the company, and what support the company offers. How is that support delivered? Are you dependant upon a person, or the company? What guarantees, if any, are offered? What is in the fine print?

You, as the consumer, have a responsibility to do your own due diligence. Read and get an understanding of the terms and conditions of the company. Ask questions in detail. A good place to start would be to read the
Business Opportunity Frequently Asked Questions on a website. We are a full disclosure company with NO fine print buried in the form. You know right from the terms and conditions right up front.

After 28 years of owning several small businesses, I decided to venture into the Home Business Arena. Because I did not have this kind of information, I faced many challenges in the first mlm I joined. While I experienced some success, I did not experience the level of success that I expected and was so easily promised. However, being that I was determined and unstoppable, I continued to move forward in my success journey.

Through a process of my own due diligence, I chose this Business Opportunity as my own personal online wealth creation vehicle because of the many competitive advantages offered as a marketer and entrepreneur. I am a visionary and Inner Circle Founding Member. Though this Academy of Entrepreneurial Development Program, I have systematically learned core entrepreneurial skills to build active and passive income; as well as, multiple streams of income.

If you are not totally comfortable with aligning yourself with a company, DONT! However, don't keep waiting by 'getting ready to get ready'. This is a process and your due diligence is the first step.
