What are things to look out for when choosing a lock? Pretty much what you would expect:

1. Make sure you get a high-quality lock with a good warranty, at least 5 years, from a reputable dealer who also has a clear, no-nonsense return policy.

2. Find a dealer that will sell you parts, just in case you need them.

3. If you think you’ll be purchasing more than one, also ask about volume discounts, even if you purchase them at different times.

4. Look for a dealer that carries several models and finishes, so you can get exactly what you want.

5. Check out installation instructions. These days, any homeowner equipped with a phillips head screw driver should pretty much be able to install these locks themselves and change combination in just a matter of minutes.

6. Make sure you know up front what tax, shipping and handling costs are.

7. Finally, shop around. Use Internet to find sites that sell digital door locks. It’s fast, easy, and secure.

It has been my experience that if web sites design is not simple then inside navigation is not simple either. If a site is hard to navigate or uses unusual terms most people will not stay.

#3 What about product or services, How much competition will you face? Let's assume your looking at a nutritional offer. Go to a search engine and put in nutrition and see how many web sites are selling a nutritional product. What about this particular product stands out above rest?

Maybe product or service is rare or addresses a need for a majority of population. Do you need it? Is it something people you know might need or want if they knew about it?

#4 Cost. The bottom dollar for anyone. Most people have little money to invest in any type of business, yet know that working for someone else is not going to get them far.

Keep that in mind when you look at a business. Is it affordable to you and to people you know? Do they have a free option to help you get started? Is their free option good for more than 30 days? If it is, they have people first in mind. If you have to upgrade after 30 days then In my opinion they are just trying to lure you in, using you to fill a slot, pushing you to join.

Sites that hide price until you fill out a form I tend to stay way from.
