Choosing the Right Business OpportunityWritten by Jeremy Maddock
When searching for a way to make money on Internet, you are sure to find a lot of worthless business opportunities, and only a few that are worth joining. The challenge is to separate profitable ones from sea of misleading scams that will cost you a lot more money than you'll ever make. In this article, I hope to shed some light on what to look for in an honest opportunity, and how to spot a scam from a long way off… What to look for in a business opportunity: •You should be given some idea of what product you will be selling or what industry you will be working in before you are asked to spend any money to join. If there is no explanation of what business involves, you have good reason to be suspicious. •The website should be well designed, and easy to navigate. •You should be told up front exactly how much money it will cost to participate in opportunity. If they charge money for a "startup fee" or "information kit", they should make it clear whether there will be more fees in future in order to make money with business that they are promoting. Ideally, there should be a guarantee that you won't have to pay more than X dollars to get your business off ground.
| | How To Get Free Publicity For Your Home BusinessWritten by Dean Phillips
Did you know you can get free newspaper and television advertising for your home business? How? Just pick up telephone and call your local media and tell them all about your home business. If they think your home business is interesting enough, they'll come out and interview you, and just like that--free publicity!You might not know it, but this occurs much more often than you realize. Why? Because media loves doing those kinds of community interest stories. It makes them appear more sensitive and caring about what's happening in their community, which leads to more viewers and readers--and of course more advertising revenue. However, depending on how busy they are and what type of other newsworthy events are going on in your community, they might not immediately appear interested in your story. In event that happens, try calling them once a week until you get your interview. Don't be rude, but be persistent. Reporters understand about persistence, because that's how they get many of their stories. It also doesn't hurt to be creative. I heard of a story where a home based catering business catered a surprise free lunch for a local television station. They literally walked in front door of tv station, and started handing out free lunches to all of employees--starting with security guards.
