I have had several people visit the blog about a Christian Opportunity Online Scam. The most often asked question is how do you tell if it is a scam or it is legitimate? This is one of the reasons I started this Christian online business blog. There are a few things I have found that help spot scams and I want to pass them on.
If the website is offering something that seems too good to be true then it may be a scam. If the site offers all the secrets to an online fortune working only 1 hour a week (or some other ridiculous thing) it is probably a scam. There are fortunes to be made on online but it takes work.
I have been on line for quite a while and I can tell you that the guys making the fortunes are not working only one hour a week. They are business men and women and are working more than the average person. The reason these people are so successful is they work hard and they work smart. They know what actions on the web bring the biggest rewards.
Above I said if something seems too good to be true it may be a scam. This is not always true but it is something you should be aware of.
Currently on the web many of the major players are giving away a lot of good information for free in order to get you on their email lists. Most of this information is first rate and I have received some real gems this way. The key to making this work for you is to realize that the emails you receive will be sales offers. You do not have to buy what they are offering.
When you get an email from one of these so called gurus try to learn from their marketing techniques. Most of the big Internet Marketers are great copywriters or hire great copywriters. They can use words to persuade people to want to buy what they have for sale.
This doesn’t mean what they have for sale isn’t good it just means be aware that it is a sales offer. What I do if I get an email offer that I am interested in is wait before I buy. If I am still interested the next day then I do more research to find out what others have to say about the product. This is one of the great aspects of the web. It allows you to find out what a lot of other people are saying about a topic.
If you would like another take on this topic check out my post about online Christian business opportunity scams from a few days ago.
Until next time, our prayers are with you.
