While considering this dilemma I am pushed to examine many areas in the financial arena. When evaluating a company, I look for several key points. How long has the company been around, are they solvent (meaning is their any money in the bank), and are they concerned about the people that work with them. My number one goal is to make money and to do it legitimately. I do not want to hurt anyone or rip anyone off. These are the thoughts that are encapsuled in my mind as I search for guidelines that will help determine what company is right.

If you are not making at least 75% of the upfront commission when you make a sale, forget it. This means that you are doing all the work and the company and/or the person above you is making all the money.

If you have to have 1000, 10,000 or 20,000 people in your organization before you make any real money. DO NOT Join. Most people will NEVER get there.

If they teach you to hold home parties and invite all your friends. Run away fast.

If they have a sales pitch 2-3 times a day and only 2-3 training classes per week. This means that the company is more interested in selling you than training you how to make money long term

If you can’t break even or get into profit with 3 sales, forget it.

If you can’t speak with the owners or the corporate office via phone or webinar, Forget it. I like to know who I am doing business with before I will do business with them.

If it is a start up or in pre launch, forget it. The chances of these companies becoming the next Amway is about as good as winning the lottery. At least with the lottery, you have a chance to win once or twice a week. You might as well go to Vegas and blow your money on a good time. At least you’ll have some great memories, see a great show and have a great meal.

These are not all the rules for success on the internet, but this is a great guideline to follow when evaluating an internet company. Use these guidelines to help you narrow down your choices for choosing a company that best fits yours goals.

And yes if these guidelines are followed it is possible and certain that you can and will make money on the internet. Plus all of this while working from home in the comfort of your own house.
