Those of us involved in network marketing face the challenge
that there are MANY illegal scams trying to recruit the same people you
are. Unfortunately, their poor image
often rubs off on us.
Scammers have created a bad reputation for network marketing. It has improved over recent years, but the
poor reputation is far from disappearing.
People
who are the victims of those scams increase this bad image when they share what
happened to them with everyone they know.
However, many perfectly legitimate network
marketing companies do exist.
So, how can someone seeking a home business recognize a
scam? There are a few things that nearly
always exist with scam businesses.
·
Scam companies rarely offer legitimate, high quality products or any products at all. So ask yourself, could you make money by
only selling products with this company?
If the answer is no, it's a scam.
·
Has the rep trying to recruit you told
you can make a lot of money with little or no effort? If they did, it's a scam. There is no such thing as a “get rich
quick" network marketing or online business.
·
Were you told that your computer will do
all the work while you sleep? You guessed it.
It's a scam.
·
Were you told that the distributor has a
secret that helped them sponsor 100 people in less than two months? Once again, it’s a scam!
·
Every network marketer should love and
use the products they are promoting.
However, some companies require their reps to purchase a certain amount
of product every single month, even if you don’t yet need them. If you’re looking at a company that tells you
it is mandatory to purchase products regularly, it
could be a scam.
·
Have you found
lots of negative posts about the company on the internet? If so, you may want to reconsider the
company.
·
“Miracle” products are flourishing these
days. Companies claim their product can
cure everything from a hang nail to cancer.
There is NO cure all and you don’t want to be involved with networks selling
these products.
·
The same goes for cosmetics and makeup
that offers unrealistic claims that their products seem too good to be true.
Remember, there may be a hundred others who didn't have the same result
compared to a few people who testified that the product works.
·
Run away from scammers who want you to
sign up there and then without making a sound decision.
Research the company
carefully. Learn as much as possible
about them using third party websites,
not only the company pages. Is it well-established
or is it a new company? If it is a startup,
it may be a good opportunity for you. However, learn about the owner/manager of
the company to see if they have been involved with illegal companies in the
past. New companies may well become profitable
if they grow and you are near the top.
Of course, there is also a risk that they will fail. The bottom line is to perform your due
diligence and investigate. Don’t rush to join or put any money into a company.
On the other hand, don't
let procrastination or fear prevent you from taking action toward achieving your
financial goals through network marketing. Network marketing has many
advantages if you join a company you have researched thoroughly and about whose
products you feel passionate.
For those of you seeking a
new or additional home business, if you keep your eyes and ears open, you can
find a business that can change your life!
Be wise and you may truly achieve financial independence.
