Hello fello MyLot friends; So many people are trying to establish an income at home using their computers these days. When you start looking around for something to promote the results can be a little overwhelming. So many opportunites promising you riches beyond your wildest dreams! Often they tell you all you have to do is sign up and nothing else. Don't even worry about promoting! So where do you turn when you want to join an honest business on-line and how do you know what is real and what is a scam? My advice is to look for a business that is promoting a tangible product. My first on-line business was promoting on-line long distance cards with www.tel3save.com .I actually bought the long distance service for myself as I was living away from home at the time and I loved it! It was the best card I ever used at the lowest rates. I found it very easy to promote because I believed in the product. So that brings me to my second suggestion. Truly believe in the product you are promoting. If you do not feel this is a product you can tell your friends and family about and ask them to buy or join up then maybe you should listen to that little voice. A lot of people promote affiatiate products. To be an affiliate you are simply agreeing with the seller to be a representative or a sales person to promote whatever they are selling. Reputable companies such as Petsmart and Apple computer take on Affiliates all the time. What is your passion? Pets, Decorating, Fitness, Computers? Make your choice and then go to an Affiliate portal such as Commision Junction or Share a Sale and find products that are related to what you would like to sell. Then simply set up a blog or a website offer information on your passion and ad your products. These sites now have links directly to your merchandise so if you are into sports you can show the actually bikes for sale on your site and not just a banner anymore. When you really get into it you can set up RSS feeds and have the promotions updated all on their own. As for MLM business. Go forth with caution. They are not ALL scams but most of them are. Like I said before...what are they selling? Is it a product that is tangible? Is the product gimmicky? Is it a product that is price fairly? Would it be something you would purchase for yourself? My main promotion on-line is actually with an MLM company E4L.biz. What they do is sell memberships to wholesale entertainment products such as DVDs, Video Games, Gaming Systems, Home Entertainment Theaters,etc. So does it meet the critera? Yes. The product is tangible. Yes it is priced fairly at wholesale you can't go wrong. Is it gimmicky? NO these are brand name products. Would I buy these products myself? I plan to! The MLM program works through selling, or for now, giving away club membership. When these members purchase product you get a percentage of all the purchases...for life! Not Bad. If you would like to see how this works for yourself and get your own free club membership follow this URL http://www.grabthepopcorn.com this is a redirect through my own domain for search engine purposes. What ever you do, I wish you all the best. Never jump into anything blindly especially if it involves a monetary investment. Do your research. Do searches with the word "review" in google on the product and/or company. You can also check out scam.com to see if there have been any complaints. Be Well! Julie Zbeetnoff
