The Secrets of Spotting a Good Money-Making Opportunity
There are a lot of really good ways to make money from home. I’m talking totally legit and very profitable business models. But the problem is, all of these legit businesses get drowned out in the noise coming from bad business models and outright scams.
If you’ve been looking for way to make money online or otherwise from home, then I’m sure you know exactly what I’m talking about. There are so many promising opportunities floating around, but after a little investigation you figure out they’re not going to work.
So here’s what you can do to protect yourself from scams: when you run into an intriguing money-making opportunity, ask yourself these questions…
1. Are you providing real value to others?
Simply put, are you providing a valuable product or service to others? If not, then ask yourself exactly why you’re even being paid.
Are you selling real products or services? If not, then run far and run fast from any of these opportunities.
2. Do you have to recruit others or buy products yourself to get paid?
Some network marketing companies actually do sell products or services, and they’re generally thought of as legitimate companies. One example of this is Avon, where people can sell beauty supplies and get a cut of the profits.
Not every network marketing opportunity works like that, however. Some of them make it mandatory to recruit others to the point where you can’t get paid if you’re not recruiting others.
Listen, you shouldn’t have to recruit others and you shouldn’t have to buy a bunch of products yourself every month in order to make money with an “opportunity.” If you see something like that, turn around and high tail it in the other direction, as there are a lot better ways to make money.
3. Do you have to pay for a kit?
Sometimes you run into a business opportunity, but you’re required to purchase a “starter kit” in order to take advantage of the opportunity. That should be a big RED FLAG for you.
Now, keep in mind that I’m not referring to you purchasing tools, guides or other resources.
For example, if you decide to become a freelance writer, you might purchase a few books and other resources that show you how to make money offering your writing services to others.
But here’s the thing… You don’t NEED to buy these books in order to be a freelancer. You could go to eLance.com right now and start bidding on jobs. The difference is that the books make it easier for you to become a freelancer by shortening your learning curve.
If you decide to start up an online business, then of course you’ll need to purchase a domain name and web host. People may recommend certain companies – and that’s cool – but you shouldn’t be required to purchase from those companies.
Now compare that to some business opportunities where you are absolutely required to purchase training or even products from them in order to start the business. It doesn’t matter what you know how or how much experience you already have, they still require you to purchase training before getting into the business opportunity.
If you see something like that, run. That’s just a sign that the company makes its money by recruiting newbies into the ranks who’ll be forced to buy training, products or services.
4. Are you building assets?
If you’re not building assets, then you have yourself a job rather than a business. In that case, you’re likely building assets for someone else. And that’s okay, if that’s what you want to do.
However, if your goal is to build a business but you’re not building any assets for yourself, then you’re going to be spinning your wheels. This could be the sign of a poor business model.
Let’s take the example of affiliate marketing. This is where you sign up with a company like Amazon.com, promote their products, and then you get a cut of the profits whenever someone buys through your affiliate link.
Some affiliates direct all their traffic straight to their affiliate link. For example, they might optimize an article for the search engines, and then include their affiliate link at the end. Or maybe they purchase a banner ad on someone else’s site, which again directs to their affiliate link.
The problem is, the affiliate isn’t building any assets with this model. He has to hustle every day just to make ends meet.
A better model is to build a mailing list first. That is, all traffic goes to a lead page. Then once you have people on your list, you can send them to all sorts of affiliate offers. Now you’re building an asset – a list of prospects and buyers – which is extremely valuable. And when you start building assets, that’s a sign of a good money-making opportunity.
There are a lot of money-making “opportunities” floating around the web, and they can look mighty enticing when you’re looking for a way to bring in extra cash or even replace a full-time income. If you ask the questions above, you’ll quickly eliminate the worst opportunities.
So what are the GOOD opportunities? What can you do online to make an honest income?
Here’s your answer!
