I have been in contact with a home based business network.How do I know if it's real or a ripoff?

If you have to pay them money to start or subscribe or otherwise purchase from them, it is a ripoff.





Never pay someone to work for them.


Why? Because it is stupid.





If they really truly believed that their home based business is good, they would allow you to pay any fees out of your impending profits.

There are many home based network marketing businesses in India today. First you should confirm whether is is registered with IDSA ( Indian Direct Marketing Association) Secondly you should see the products, whether they are exclusive or common.


Next see the Marketing Plan to see whether the company is only trying to make money for themselves or are Distributor Friendly.


If interested, I could show you the best Network Marketing Business in the world. Exclusive products, No joining fee, no renewal, commissions on MRP, Car Plan/House Plan as incentives, and much more.
Reply:If you get an invitation to join a home based business you can check them out on the net. Your first clue that they are the real deal is if they are a publicly traded company.





Research them on the net and see what you can find. or you might have heard of the company before like Avon, Amway, Shaklee, Watkins, Pre-Paid Legal Services Inc.





And just because some of theses might charge a fee to get started doesn't mean that they are shady.





When a company like McDonalds charges $1,000,000.00 for a franchise that doesn't make them shady.





If you research them but find little or no information about the company that is the time to beware.
Reply:There are a number key things to look for in network marketing. First, do they actually have a product to market, or do they just want you get others to sign up?


If you are a distributor,/manager do they expect you to actually sell the product, or just find people to sign up? If they do not expect you to actively market the product yourself, how can you train others to sell it?


Are they a member of the Direct Selling Association? Members of this group have to quailfy and adhere to strict guidelines to be a part of it.


It is not uncommon or unethical for a company to charge a fee for a starter kit, as long as it contains the products that you are to sell, supplies and training materials. As a representative for a direct selling company, you are not an employee, but in business for yourself, so you are expected to purchase your own supplies, samples etc. This is all a tax deduction and usually you get the materials in the kit at a significant discount to help you get started.





I hope this is all a help to you.
