Beware the Online "Bizz-Op"

Anyone with a lick of entrepreurial spirit and a brand new home
computer has wondered at least once how to put both to work on
the Internet making money.

The online world beckons more than ever with the promise of
instant riches for the next "million-dollar" idea. For those who
can't think up their own product or service to sell online,
thousands of business opportunities tout themselves as the path
to online riches.

To cash in and get your piece of the pie, they explain, all any
self-motivated, self-starter needs to do is hand over a couple
of hundred dollars and they will instantly find themselves in a
"proven, turn-key" business on the World Wide Web.

Many online business opportunity sellers, "bizz-oppers" for
short, fail to mention that the real money for them lies in
getting people to sign up for the opportunity itself.

These bizz-oppers have multiplied like fleas on a stray dog, and
can open and close up shop online faster than a con man with a
card table at the local flea market.

Though many online opportunities seem legitimate, many represent
little more than ideas that might work if you devoted every
waking moment to working them.

If you want to use your computer to make money from home, asking
the following questions should help you actually choose a
business opportunity with a fighting chance for success.

NOTE: Though some of these questions may seem a bit abrasive,
I'm tired of seeing people get ripped off.

1. What is the business's target audience? Realistically, how
many people can and will actually buy the product or service?

2. Why do they need you? Why don't they just do it themselves
and keep all the money? (This usually exposes businesses only
interested in signing people up.)

3. Is there a sign-up fee? If so, what does the fee buy you?
Technical support? Marketing materials? A website address?

4. If the business involves using their website, can you modify
the site or is it static? You won't benefit much from a site
that looks like a thousand others if you plan on using the
search engines to promote it.

5. How do they track your customers as opposed to another
affiliate or distributor? Sites that use cookies to track
visitors and commissions only work as long as the customer
retains the cookie on their computer.

6. Will the company solicit your customer for other products and
services? If so, will they pay you a commission on additional
purchases?

Use common sense when investing in an online business
opportunity.

Don't come across with any money until you've had a chance to
talk with at least ten people who have bought into the
opportunity, as well as ten people who were unhappy with it and
quit.

If the opportunity promoters won't give you names of happy and
unhappy clients you need to keep looking.
