Work at Home Business - How Do You Know Who to Trust?

There are so many Work at Home Businesses Online today that it is hard to judge one from the other. They all promise so much but how do you know when to trust one of the thousands of websites out there?

Well to begin with, I am not here to tell you that what I do is better than anything else out there on the web because that would just be my opinion. What I am going to share with you is how I went about researching the business I am in, and why this research method is useful with any business You are looking at now.

How,You may ask...well there are 3 things You need to know:

First:

DO NOT go on Google and type in "is ABC Company a scam." (ABC Company is the Company you are researching)

Why? Well, There are too many marketers out there that ride on the back of any popular company's name, which basically means these marketers use dirty marketing tactics to get their business seen.

These marketers will tell you that "ABC Company" is a scam, and instead of working with ABC, you should join their company because it is Soooo much better. Most of these people know nothing about "ABC Company", but that does not stop them from trying to say that it is a work at home scam anyway.

Second:

Look for the validity of a company with organizations such as the Better Business Bureau, the Federal Trade Commission, and places of that sort because they just have facts. They are unbiased in their information. They do not care if the company is good or bad because they have nothing to gain from the person checking this information, and they must validate the complaint in order for it to be published on their site.

One thing to keep in mind, these online businesses work with thousands of people every month...so there are bound to be a few complaints just because people are people; however if there are too many within the past 3 years then you might want to think twice about getting into that business. (I would consider 10 too many)

These companies are your best resource on research to see if any work at home business is a work at home scam and they will have it documented by the information you will find.

Last:

After looking at the places I mentioned above, take a look at the business itself. Look at the information given to you after you have paid the initial price to get into the system. (this is either the $1 fee, the application fee, or some small e-book you may have purchased)

Work at home scams will not give you the full information, they will never get in touch with you by phone, you may not be able to even get into the information that you purchased.

Ask Yourself these questions:

Do they have a money back guarantee that lasts for at least 30days on your initial purchase?

Do they let you talk to others in the business?

Do they give you a chance to try out at least part of the system for 30days? (example: our system has a student account that you can use for 30 days free)

Does the company take anyone with a pulse, or do they limit the people that can start with the business by using an application process like most colleges do?

Have you heard from the person that owns the website?

Do they give a phone number, e-mail address, skype name, or any other personal information where you can get in touch with them to see if it is real?

Anytime you start a work at home business you must do your due diligence (research) on the business.

You need honest, non-biased opinions versus dirty marketing tactics used by people who have businesses that cannot stand on their own 2 feet as you will see if you research on Google. I know this is the way I look up any work at home business to find out if it is a scam. I ran my personal company and the company we work with through this process and they both came out the other side with flying colors.

In the end, do not use Google, go through the non-biased opinions of government agencies to see if the work at home business is legit, and then ask yourself the questions above and you will be less likely to ever join another scam again.

Finding success in the business you do join...well that is a different topic all together!
