Every day hundreds of new online business opportunities flood unto the internet. If there is one thing that the internet is not short of, then it is business opportunities - or shall I say "so-called" business opportunities. In reality most of these business opportunities are not really business opportunities at all.
Although they might be opportunities, they are not businesses as a business goes way beyond just making some extra money. So, how do you then spot the best new online business opportunity? Here are some important points to consider and help guide you to finding the best opportunity that suits both you, and your bank account best.
1. If you are going to venture into the online world to "earn a living", treat it as a business from day one. A business is not based on fly-by-night scheme's, but focuses on good, solid and reliable principles that would ensure sustainability of your business and your income. A business also has the ability to grow and to add value to a market. Ask yourself "will I still be doing this 5 years from now?" If the answer is no, then you are best to pass on that particular opportunity.
2. Don't jump into the first and best 'new thing'. Leave that to the impulsive people wanting to make a quick buck. Finding a good, reliable and solid business system is not that easy. It's best to give a new business opportunity some time to proof itself. There is nothing worse than jumping into something with all your effort only to have it collapse after six months. You don't want to wait too long either, as a good opportunity can get really crowded really quickly.
3. Don't believe everything you read on the box. The internet is full of very clever and highly skilled copy writers that know exactly how to push a consumer's buttons. Many of us have been suckered into buying inferior products based on the seduction of a good sales letter. It's important to try and look past all the hype and 'proof' and 'testimonials' and look at the business concept behind it. If the sales pages can't tell you exactly what the business is based on, then don't even bother. If possible, contact the support team and ask them any questions or concerns that you might have before you invest your time and money.
4. The best online business opportunity is not necessarily the most profitable. It's true that there are quite a few schemes where you can earn some good money really quickly. The only trouble is with the sustainability of these schemes. Just ask anybody that was involved with DX Gold and they will testify just how painful it is to loose your stream of income because of a 'flimsy' business system. A sustainable business will allow you to keep earning money for the rest of your life as it will allow your business to grow and to expand and to become stronger with time. Along with this your income will gradually build and you will end up doing less while earning more.
5. Don't replace on job with another! If you are turning to the internet to get out of your brain-dead day job, then you probably want to do what you love and work less while earning more. When you are looking for a good online business opportunity, then you want to make sure that the system is based on multiple streams of income and that it works FOR YOU - even if you are not working it.
6. Get involved on community forums like WAHM and see what other people are saying about a specific opportunity and don't be afraid to ask for opinions. When you do commit to an online business opportunity, make sure that it has a support forum and that you have the ability to work with other like minded people and a dedicated staff willing and able to help you succeed.
