Before joining any online company or program ask yourself these questions:
This short list of questions is intended to save you time and trouble by helping you separate the wheat from the chaff at first glance so that you can concentrate more fully on your research efforts regarding those programs or companies that offer a realistic compensation package or more believable opportunity.
It goes without saying that you should indeed do further research via the Better Business Bureau and other trusted agencies before getting involved with any company that requires a membership or subscription fee in order for you to be considered as an associate.
Remember that becoming involved with any online company or program does not make you an employee but an independent contractor.
As such you will be required to supply them with your social security number-especially if you are not an established business with a tax ID already in order to be paid.
I know this from personal experience.
In my estimation any company or program that asks you to supply this kind of information before you've even made a dime or, for that matter, signed up is worth checking out intensively.
Don't make an identity thief's job any easier! As with anything else an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and while we're utilizing cliches my final word on this subject is as expected: If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...
start preparing the orange sauce and MOVE ON.
- Is the landing page filled with pictures of stacks of cash,elegant houses,fancy cars or folks lying on the beach?
- Does the company promise outrageous profits in a ridiculously small amount of time for doing next to nothing?
- Is there pressure to sign up right away because the offer will be off of the table within the next 24 hours or have a countdown of any kind running?
- Are there blatant grammatical errors on the landing page or vague terms of service?
- If after signing up for a free-to-join program is it mandatory for you to pay a monthly fee for some other service or product that you probably don't need or spend countless hours in a plethora of traffic exchanges in order to promote it?
