How to review a home business before you join

By Steven Phillips

Just about all of the major online business opportunities have built in marketing systems. This is a major feature that should be surveyed prior to joining. The fact is, if the internal marketing system is lacking, it just makes it that much more difficult to grow your business. Just remember that what you are presented as the system attempts to convince you to join is the same thing your prospect will see.

You have probably seen websites say that their marketing system does 95%, 99%, 100% of the work. Challenge them. Don't join right away. Make them work for your curiosity and your talent. You may ultimately join their company or program. If they don't entice you to join or keep trying to get you back after you have said no, the system is probably not going to work for you as you begin to market the system.

Most programs have a system for capturing prospects through capture pages and follow up emails. Once the prospect signs up through a capture page, they will receive a round of emails from the company.

I am an associate member of MyWorldPlus. If you log on and take the free tour you will have an idea of how an automated system operates. As you take the tour, remember that everything you read is the same data that will be presented to your own future prospects.

Never forget that promoting anything on the internet is going to be a challenge. Chances are there are hundreds or thousands of people just like you promoting the same product or program. With such arduous competition, an automated capture and email system is a must. If either one of these features is missing, I would recommend another program.

One other thing you want to do is go to the leader board, if they have one, and review the number of signups per person. This will give you an idea, on average, of how many signups are flowing into the company.

It isn't too difficult to explore the internal marketing system of MyWorldPlus or other MLM online business. Just try it out and you will see what you need to see. Take note that if a company states that they do a huge percentage of the work and that all you have to do is promote your affiliate link, think again. Promoting that affiliate link is a huge percentage of the work. If there are no visitors who cares how great the marketing system is.

In closing, making it online takes a lot of work and truthfully most people have a difficult time driving quality traffic to their capture pages. The last thing you need is a program that doesn't close the deal after the traffic arrives. Take a free Tour of MyWorldPlus and see how it compares to your online business.
