Tips on Researching the Various Network Marketing Programs

No matter what you do in life, you will always find that there is always a chance that you can be ripped off.  Basically, it’s a fact of life and instead of sitting back and never trying anything new, you have to learn how to deal with it.   This same idea applies to business opportunities, as well.  There may be some that are scams, but unless you learn how to tell the difference between a scam and a legitimate opportunity, the only person that will suffer is you.   The following are a few tips to help you in researching the various network marketing programs that are available and how you can tell the difference between a scam and a real opportunity:

 

When Did The Company Go Into Business?

This is very important as there is less chance of getting scammed by network marketing programs that have been in business for more than three years.   If possible, try to stay away from newly developed companies or at least do a more thorough background check on the newer ones.

 

Who is in Charge?

Do some research and find out who is running the show.  You will be able to pull up some information on the top people in the company on the Internet.  If not, make sure you join a few forums and start asking questions to see what type of feedback you can get.

 

Have the Had Complaints Filed?

The Better Business Bureau is an organization that deals with consumer complaints.  They can let you know if complaints have been filed and, if so, how these were handled.  Most of your research with them can be done online and quickly.

 

What is Their Financial Status?

Don’t join any of the network marketing programs without first checking their financial stability.   While they may not be a scam, if they are not financially sound, you run the risk of losing your investment.

 

These, of course, are just a few things to look for when you are researching an opportunity.  Depending upon the type of business it is, you will need to do some more research, as well as find out how often they pay their members.

Making Money Online With Pay Per Click Sites

With the price of groceries and many other daily essentials, many people are finding themselves short at the end of the month.  Very few people have what used to be considered pocket change.  If you find yourself in this situation, you may be considering finding a part time job to give you a few extra dollars a month.  However, before you jump the gun, you may want to consider making money online with pay per click sites.

 

A pay per click site is a website that will pay you to view ads that are listed by a variety of businesses.   When joining, you will be asked to fill out a list of your interests.  Your ads to view will be based on this list.  Simply click on the ads available and you will earn money.  The pay, of course, depends upon the website and what the business is offering, but you will find most will pay between $.01 and $.05 per ad. 

 

The time involved in making money online with these sites is minimal.  Each ad will require you to view it from anywhere between 30 seconds and a full minute.  Once the ad comes up that you’ve been paid, you can close it and go to the next ad.  While you may wish there were thousands of ads to view, you will find there is only about 10 to 20 each day for your viewing.   What this means is that for less than 20 minutes a day, you can make a little bit of extra cash.

 

When signing up for these pay per click sites, you will find that most of them will allow you to join for free.  These will give you a few ads each day and some will allow you to pay for a  better membership to get more ads to view.  Many people find the cost is well worth it, however, beware of those that ask for a large fee or promise you are going to get rich.  This is not a get rich kind of business.  It’s simply a way to earn some extra cash.

 

While you may be looking for a part time job, making money online is actually an easy way to earn cash and it allows you to do the work from your home.  This means that you can spend more time with your family and still earn some money.
