How many exaggerated claims do you think you come across in an average day? My guess is… too many.
With so much competition, especially on the internet, people seem to think that they have to “one-up” the other guy (or gal). In my opinion, the more incredible the claim, the less credible is the claimant.
Nowhere is this practice more prevalent than in the home business industry. We’ve all seen ads like… “I made five figures my first thirty days in this program.” Makes me wonder where the decimal point is in that claim. Is it really like $10000 or $100.00? Where’s the proof? How much time and money did it take to make that five figure month? Even if they have proof, that doesn’t mean you or I will achieve those results. I’m not saying that it’s not achievable, but it typically takes someone a while to get to a five figure month.
It’s a shock and awe tactic. They’re playing to people’s greed or desperation to hook them into joining their opportunity or buy their product. But, I think the average opportunity seeker nowadays is wise to their lies. But, I continue to see it everyday, so it must still be working.
In my opinion, it’s best to avoid the show boaters, or at least Google them or their company before you give them your contact information and/or your hard-earned cash. Do your homework.
So if you are in the home business industry, or just starting out in it, remember it is a relationship business. People join people, not companies. People do business with people they know, like and trust. If you build relationships with your potential customers, your business will have a solid foundation to build on.
There are a lot of companies out there that are taking advantage of the current economic situation, and peoples’ desperation, by offering false hope with their ‘get rich quick’ opportunities. But, the only ones getting rich are the owners. With flashy advertising, ‘fear of loss’ sales tactics and bloated income claims, they create an army of minions to virally infect the internet marketing communities recruiting thousands of people and making them millions of dollars. Then POOF! They disappear. Leaving behind a ton of representatives, who worked feverishly build the business, that hasn’t made them a dime
Even the legitimate opportunities often charge monthly membership or account maintenance fees of anywhere from $10 to $200. Or, you must have a minimum monthly product purchase, often on auto-ship, to qualify to make commissions
When I started trying to make money online, I was broke and couldn’t afford a lot of the business opportunities that I saw.
I spent tons of time, and money I couldn’t afford looking for a way to work from home. Weeding out all the spammers & scammers trying to find legitimate programs that weren’t going to drain me of what little money I had to spend.
I have finally found some legitimate opportunities that cost little, or no money to start.
I have created a page on my website specifically for these programs.
Whether you’ve just started looking for ways to make money online, or have already joined an opportunity that you trust and are happy with, these programs can give you addition income streams to help build your home business.
