In these tough economic times, people scratch their teeth to pay their bills. To supplement income, people are thinking out of the box to earn money. Maybe they will sell some things on eBay or fix the house for a neighbor. In my quest to earn money, I chose to look for an opportunity to start a home business.
It all started with doing a little research online … If something piqued my interest, I would sign up for more information and they would put me on an email list. Before you knew it, everyone was my best friend. Every week I received offers from companies that had the next best business software since the invention of water. I was seduced by the persuasive rhetoric and the rhetoric of these get rich guru’s announcement. Sometimes I brought it in because of the cute girl they hired as a radio model. I would be so excited to test the software that I would spend entire weekends trying to put together the pieces of my new financial empire. Just to realize that it was a part of what you know.
I would try everything from instant website builders to daily transactions. I ended up losing $ 180.00 trading stock futures. Out of frustration or technical difficulties, I ended up returning the products for a refund.
Looking back at some of the sales copy for these work-at-home business opportunities is downright comical. There is a recurring theme in all these presentations. It all starts with the following: “I was at an affiliate convention and met a Russian programmer named Vladmir who came up with this button software that makes millions overnight. He entrusted me with delivering this product to the masses. “. What about this one? “I was in a bar with a group of rich guys known as the ghost affiliates and they trusted me to deliver this product to get rich.”
Not all work-from-home offers are bad. There are reputable companies that have good products. When determining the product you want to try, make sure they show you how their systems work in their presentations. Some of these items just have great copy and a substandard product. You can tell if the company is reputable if they offer you at least a sixty-day guarantee.
In my search so far, I came across a company that asked me to beta test their product for free. That gesture alone tells me that they have a good product that they want to launch on the market. When looking at reviews of potential work-at-home products, make sure you are unbiased. Some reviewers have a direct link to buy the product, telling you right there that they are taking a percentage of the sale.
Another thing to watch out for in your email inbox is an email from the same guru who sold you product X and is now promoting product Y. Okay, class, you know why? Because they are receiving a commission for the sale of the product. Very well!
