With the internet being such an open and vast source for the exchange of information, the internet is abounding with fraud and business scams to con you out of your money. It is hard to sniff out legitimate online businesses amidst so many risks out there. In-turn a lot of people are afraid to risk their hard earned money because of all the stories they have heard of people being scammed out of all their money. You too might be interested in earning an income online by joining an online business but are rightly reluctant. This is FACT.
Do a web search for “Is [insert company name] a scam?”, and you’re sure to get a list of results for the company in question using that very phrase. Does this mean that the company IS a scam? Not necessarily. You see, a lot of people that want to sell their business systems (or who have had an isolated bad experience and have an axe to grind) buy up these keywords for every company they can think of in order to capitalize on people looking for honest information.
Tips on how to know which companies are ethical, and which you should avoid.
Ethical companies are about products FIRST. In a pyramid scheme, people are compensated for selling the business opportunity. The higher you are in the pyramid, the more money you make. But in this system, members of the pyramid make money when people JOIN, not when they SELL SOMETHING. This is the critical difference between a pyramid scheme and a legitimate network marketing or direct sales opportunity. In a legitimate company, if the person you recruit doesn't sell something, you don’t make money.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. It takes time to build a business. You need to build a network of people, and establish your business by doing the work. It doesn't happen overnight, and you won’t make a million dollars in your first month. It is hard work and requires effort on your part. If a company tries to entice you to join by telling you it’s easy, and you’ll make a lot of money very quickly, be careful! Legitimate businesses provide information on what you actually need to do in order to make money, and realistic estimates about how long it takes.
Network marketing does not work on autopilot. Often you’ll see claims that you can make money on “autopilot.” Be careful! Network marketing and direct sales are about making connections with people. Connections don’t happen on autopilot. Ethical companies provide you with real information about the type of work you’ll be doing to earn money. If it’s a direct sales opportunity, you’ll have to talk to people.
Is the company a DSA Member? Membership in the Direct Selling Association doesn't come easily. It is a year-long process that requires a thorough legal review of a company’s marketing materials and policies, as well as compliance with the DSA Code of Ethics. When evaluating a network marketing or direct sales opportunity, be sure to look for the DSA logo on that company’s website. This is your assurance that the company you’re considering is committed to complying with the industry’s highest ethical standards. If you don’t see it, think twice!
Even though there are lots of scams out there today, there are also some excellent business opportunities that have helped people earn extra income, build successful businesses and achieve financial independence, especially when paired with a legitimate company, and a willingness to do the work necessary to succeed. QNET is one such company. This is FACT and if you want proof, here it is.
When you next hear or read that QNET is a scam, that is FICTION. Let me give it to you straight...in QNET, you will get to own fantastic products but there is no guarantee that you will ever succeed in the business. It’s a home-based business and about 80% of businesses or start-ups fail within the first 3 to 5 years. This is a sad FACT, but should that stop you from trying your best to achieve your dreams?
Other questions for you to ponder on as I end this post.
1) How far would you go if I told you that QNET will probably give you the lifestyle that you want, to spend more time with your family and to travel around the world with them?
2) Are you willing to give in your heart and soul for the next 2 to 3 years to take a risk on your own ability to learn some new skills that will help fulfill your dreams of a better life not only for you but for your loved ones as well?
3) Or would you rather work a corporate job your whole life KNOWING full well that you may never retire early enough to enjoy your hard earned money while spending more time with your family?
4) If I told you that there are already a large number of self-made millionaires all around the world because of the network marketing industry, would you want to be counted as one of them?
5) And are you really going to sit there and let someone else's misguided notions of whether a business is "scam or not" stop you from achieving your own goals in life?
