The Internet is so flooded with many works- at- home scams that you have every right to be doubtful about every work from home opportunity you come across. Especially if it promises that with a small investment, you will earn so much— within a short time. You discover it to be fake only after you have parted with your valuable 40 or 60 dollars. May be you often ask yourself, "How come the owner of this business is charging 40 dollars for a program he claims can earn me up 6,000 dollars a month? If I can earn so much, then the program should cost more." To address such reasonable doubts, consider the following tips:

REALISTIC AND OBJECTIVE JUDGEMENT

It looks unlikely that anyone would be interested in your 40 or 50 dollars in exchange for a program he claims fetches people up to 400 dollars a day. Your 50 dollars is certainly miserable when he could easily make 10 or 15 times that amount within a short time? Even the cost of putting up and hosting a website alone makes it look like very bad business for him. Probably a scam, then! But we must remember this: not every business person is interested in short-term profits. Many do not mind waiting up to 5 years to realize their dream profits. Over a period of 5 years of charging 40 or 50 dollars per subscription , they can easily recover the cost of putting up of websites, of ads, etc, and make huge profits.

HUMAN WISHES IMPOSSIBLE TO SATISFY

People find it impossible to fulfil each and every one of their material wishes. They always wish more good things of life. Therefore however large their earnings, they are never satisfied. They would like to earn more and more because with increased earnings, their interests and tastes also grow. So, a person who earns $8,000 monthly from work from home businesses might suddenly fancy the idea of completely changing her wardrobes every week or of buying herself the latest limousine in town. This means that even if she made 400 dollars every day, as she claims in her work from home program, she would still wish to make more. The 40 dollars per subscription which she earns from her program from 10,000 or 15,000 people every year will surely make a great difference to her.

SOME PEOPLE CAN BE SELFLESS

It is true that most business people offer work at home ideas solely to make profits, yet a few here and there reveal such ideas simply to help the public. They want others too to succeed financially. Therefore do not be quick to dismiss every wonderful-looking work at home idea you find. You should make a close and comprehensive assessment of every such idea before reaching your conclusions. Close and comprehensive assessments are possible using a few yardsticks

YARDSTICKS FOR ASSESSING WORK AT HOME PROGRAMS

To decide whether a work from home program is genuine or fake, adopt this two-step approach. First, check if the program offers any form of true money-back guarantee. A true money-back guarantee is one which the program MUST honour. How would you know the program MUST honour a money-back guarantee? Scroll down to the bottom of the program’s web page and check its payment processors. Is the payment processor pay pal, 2CO or plimus? If yes, then be sure that the program will honour the guarantee, because it MUST. It will return your money to you if after a given number of days, you request for your money because you are not satisfied with the program. Pay pal, 2CO or plimus will force the program to refund your money. However, if the processor is Esellerate , it is not likely to refund your money.

The second yardstick is the availability of regular support. Does the program give its subscribers daily support? Are there staff to address any challenges subscribers might have with implementing the program? If yes, then the work at home opportunity is likely to be genuine. You can, of course, know whether such supports actually exist only after you subscribe.

But you need not be afraid of subscribing if you follow the first step approach given above. In other words, first ensure that the program will refund your money before subscribe, then subscribe.
