Home Business Tips - Be Careful of Those Millionaire Programs

I have to admit, the one site I saw today was really slick. The sales page was designed by a real pro and the audio voiceover was obviously done by somebody with a ton of experience doing voiceover work. However, this all has nothing to do with the quality of the program itself, sad to say. So in order for you not to think you've just found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, this article is going to explain to you why you have to be careful of those millionaire programs. Hopefully, this advice will keep you from making some serious mistakes in choosing a home business.

The first thing you have to be careful of is when you see anything on the sales page that guarantees you an income. For one thing, the FTC has very strict rules about this. You are not allowed to guarantee any earnings whatsoever as it is always possible to fail with a home business. These sites that promise you all this money are there for just one reason...to take YOUR money. So don't let them.

The next thing you have to be careful of is when the sales page starts telling you how easy it is. I hate to have to tell you this but making a living from home is not all that easy. A lot of work goes into what I do. I put in long hours and sometimes long weeks. If there is a push button method to earning a living on the Internet, I have yet to find it. Good luck finding yours.

Another flashing red light is when you see testimonials on the page and no names are given. Anybody can make up testimonials. Sure, you can make up names and addresses as well. I understand that. But ideally, what you want to look for are testimonials with photos. And then check to see that those photos aren't stock photos that are all over the Internet.

Finally, you want to check to see if there is a way to contact the person who put up the site. You will find my email address on every sales page of mine. If you don't see a way to contact the person, that is a red light to stay away. Most likely, if you put in for a refund...if there's even a way to do it...you'll never hear back from the person. Always make sure there is contact info.

It's dangerous out there, plain and simple. So you need to do your research on any program that you're thinking of joining. Heck,. check with the BBB if you have to in order to see if there are any complaints. Just don't go into a business blindly.

It may cost you more than just a few bucks.
