Affiliate Marketing: Tips On How To Spot A Scam
Are you wanting a new job, or a way to make money without working for
someone else? Maybe you're bored with what you're doing at the moment, or
you're sick and tired of your job.
Hey, if you like your job, that's great. But if you're looking to make a change in
your financial situation, perhaps you need to check out affiliate marketing.
Unfortunately, we live in an age of internet and business fraud, and you run
across a lot of scams online. People lose money on home business scams. If the
business you're looking at doesn't have disclaimers and “terms and conditions”,
it's most likely not a legitimate company.
Unfortunately, the world of affiliate marketing is not immune to this either. While
it is impossible to list every precaution a person should take, there are some
signs that people can look for. These don’t always mean that the company is
fraudulent but they should be looked into carefully.
All too often people get lulled into a false sense of security when it comes to
affiliate marketing programs. They feel that there if there is no cost, money wise,
they have nothing to lose.
However, that's not always true. You need to know what to look for.
You may get away with no money being lost but you could lose loads of your next
most precious commodity, that being time. You’re going to have to work very
hard to build up your affiliate marketing business so you will want to be
legitimate.
Make sure to “drill down” and “look under the hood” of whatever affiliate
marketing system you're looking at. If you have questions, reply back to their
emails they send you and ASK QUESTIONS.
You should definitely ask the company for testimonials. Better yet, you can also
go watch some recorded interviews and testimonials of a legitimate company by
the name of Power Lead System. This one is an interview with Carin Petty
and Jeff Mills, both of who I work with in PLS.

P.S. My buddy John Crestani put up an excellent video where he shows you 7
different scams to avoid online. You see them all the time in Facebook groups.
When you know what to look for, you can ignore these dumbasses. Here's the
