In fact, the word "scam" is overused as it relates to any type of home business.
Why is this? Is LIfePath Unlimited a scam? Is any other top tier business a scam? The first thing to address is simple.
Are there scams on the internet? Yes there are.
Certainly there are scams on the internet.
The online industry is no different from any other industry in terms of having unethical people operating in negative ways.
There is no industry offline or otherwise that doesn't have unethical people who use misleading marketing ploys or operate illegal businesses.
Although the internet is not immune to scams or misleading marketing ploys, it's important to note that actual businesses are not scams.
There are many online businesses that are real, long term and legitimate businesses that can be extremely profitable.
What To Watch Out For:
- hypey advertising about pre-launches and deadlines
- no contact information available
- big promises without sharing any facts or explaining details
- vague details that don't align with advertisement
- payment requested before you speak with a person
It's best to ignore them and use your spam filters.
Anything that is not professional or contains solid information and details should be avoided.
Any real business can be researched.
A good and reliable business should have full details disclosed so you know everything before speaking with anyone.
You should be able to speak with a real person and be able to get full details about training and support provided for new business partners.
Scams are typically short term, they are not full fledged businesses.
Businesses offer real products or services and are long term.
An online business is not a get rich promise, although they can be profitable within months versus traditional businesses.
An online business requires effort, investment and learning.
The promise of riches without effort, investment and learning should be a red flag to you.
