How To Tell If A Home Based Business Is Genuine

By Russell Howe


Before you jump into any online business it's a good idea to check up on the legality and safety of the organization you intend to work with. While it's easy to find a dozen or more online programs which claim to be the best home based business opportunity, people often get a little bit lost when they want to check up on the background and legal standing of the program.

Make no mistakes, there are thousands of great companies online you can work with as an affiliate and there are countless real, regular people who have built solid incomes that way.


In today\'s video, Russ Howe teaches how to find the best home based business for you.



The internet is, of course, synonymous with the 'get rich quick scheme' and as a result of the terrible reputation this type of thing generates, the entire online business industry often suffers from being tarred with the same brush. Most people would jump at the chance to work from their home, but sadly most people assume that everything they see online is a scam in some way or another.

We're talking about those fly-by-night, flash-in-the-pan multi-level marketing opportunities which arrive on the scene in a cloud of hype and buzz only to disappear within three months and be replaced by a newer, shinier next big thing.

When people are looking at becoming their own boss, for some reason they do not take the 'real world' mentality into the online world. If you set up a business in your local area you would expect a tough time, right? But on the internet people don't push themselves anywhere near as hard. This means that even when people do find established opportunities, such as Global Domains International for example, they still don't get results.

In order to prevent future disappointment, it is highly important that you select an opportunity which is going to be long-term just like you are. It's no good switching programs every month and hoping to strike it lucky by being in the right company at the right moment.

There are a few small but very important checks you should do which will confirm whether your potential affiliate program is going to stay around long-term with you.

* The company should display a business license to prove it is genuine and real.

* If a business is genuine it will also have acquired the Federal Trade Commission seal of approval.

* The company should also have been in business for some considerable time.

The 'get rich quick' mentality is usually associated with MLM opportunities. They sprout up every single day, each promising the be 'game changers' and guaranteeing mass riches for the people who get in early. It never works, of course.

If you ever find it difficult to locate or obtain any confirmation of the safety and legality of an affiliate program you should take that as a sign. If a company is genuine, it will have no reservations of proving it to you immediately.

Today's three points will help you to determine the safety and legal standing of any online program, so the next time you see something which looks like the best home based business you have ever stumbled across be sure you run through today's checklist and see how it stacks up.
