Your online Business, Part 5

Picking and choosing an on line opportunity should take as much care and consideration as it does to marry someone. Granted, lots of time we don’t spend enough time choosing our life mates, and that is usually done to many lasting regrets. Hence, we keep the divorce lawyers happily employed.

However, it is extremely important to choose an op carefully. For one thing, you are usually going to be investing your time and money in something that you want to be a. proud of b. able to promote and c. that is legitimate! YOUR name becomes aligned with what ever site it is you decide to promote and oftentimes your reputation.

Now, the Net is big, but not so big that people don’t get to know others by name or reputation. I have only been active on the Net for a little over a year now and can name lots of names of people I wouldn’t trust a single penny to let alone my time, energy and own meager reputation. Whether a “newbie” or a well seasoned veteran of internet marketing and opportunities there is one absolutely necessary thing you MUST do when considering a site: READ WHAT IT SAYS!

That seems so simple, but you would be amazed at the sites I see all the time that people promote and you just know they have not read or understood what that site is all about. There is currently a couple sites making the rounds making outrageous promises of “1 million $ in 12 months”, and “Make 1.2 million monthly surfing.” Right. I OWN surf sites and I know I cannot pay anyone 1.2 million monthly surfing EVER! My partner is heavily involved in good, solid pay to surf sites and is in NO WAY making millions of dollars. Programs who make those types of claims are scams of the first degree and one needs to run away from as fast as possible.

When considering a site, read what it it is saying about itself. Does it say “free” on one hand and then tell you to make a one-time investment of $39.00? Or, my favorite, does it tell you that they will GIVE YOU $19.50 to “test drive” their site? (After you paid your $39.00 of course.) No matter how you do the math 39 - 19.50 still means you are out of pocket $19.50! Just tell me it costs $19.50 to join and be done with it. Don’t pull out a bunch of hoyie and hokum to part me from my money.

Run away from. Then, after you join, test their word and promises. HOLD THEM TO IT! Stuff happens and everyone understands that, but a site that does not live up to its promises, no matter how “small”, run away from quickly.

Conversely, the ones who do keep their word are “keepers”. I have been very impressed lately with Cashflowpc. About a month ago we had some serious communications problems and issues and I blasted the management, especially Joel. To their lasting credit, Joel and Brad addressed the issues we were having and more than “made things right.” They did not make excuses, come back to the Xtream organization with an attitude, or pull any nonsense.

What they did do was correct some mistakes after stating that they HAD made some!! Wow. I can count on one hand (with fingers to spare) the number of times THAT has happened. Quality act by quality people. Do you think I will be promoting Cfpc for years to come? You bettcha. This is the kind of opportunity to latch onto and keep forever. Rather like my husband.
