Top 10 Criteria When Evaluating Online Business Opportunities
At this time of year many people will be coming up with New Years resolutions revolving around getting out of the rat race or unemployment by setting up their own online business.
So I have devised my top 5 criteria to help those who want toselecta legitimateonline opportunity but don't know who to trust and are afraid of getting ripped off.
1 - Marketing Plan
Marketing is crucial to all successful businesses as it is no good having the best product, service or website if no-one knows about it. Online marketing is all about lead generation and capturing qualified people's attention.
This is where most people get it wrong. They use hype and unrealistic promises to entice their prospects. You want a marketing platform that sifts, sorts and qualifies your customers automatically and on autopilot, eliminating the tyre-kickers before they waste your time.
2 - Trust and Relationships
It can be difficult to identify the fly by the night companies that are exist just to take your money and run. I recommend that they have been around for at least 5 years and have a track record of creating wealth and success in others.
People want to see examples of real people already getting results. You must have social proof and member testimonials. Teamwork, community and masterminding with other professional entrepreneurs are what in my opinion make online businesses fun and exciting.
3 - Value and Service
Remove all risk and demandbulletproof satisfaction guarantees and world class customer support. You should only seek opportunities that are so confident in what they are offering that they have a trial period or money back guarantee.
Also an opportunity that caters for all budgets i.e. $100 to $10,000+ indicates a broad appeal and wide market. If you are looking at becoming an affiliate ornetwork marketer make sureyou're not encouraged to sell to FRANK (Friends, Relatives, Associates, Neighbours or Kids)
4 - Automation and Technology
In today's information age, automation and cutting edge technology to eliminate the bulk of the grunt work is a must for you to be confident they are going to move with the times and not get left behind.
You want to use a SYSTEM that Saves Your SelfTime, Energy and Money. Most people hate to be sold to and hate even more the prospect of having to sell something themselves.You only want to come into contact with those genuinely interested in starting or running an onlinebusiness.
5 - Training and Education
Most people are too lazy to learn new things and would rather follow the path of least resistance leaving them stuck. Therefore you need a training curriculum and marketing platform that is designed to eliminate most of the variables that people struggle with like selling and explaining.
If anybody offers or promises you that you can make a ridiculous amount of money in a ridiculous short timeframe I would run a mile because these get rich quick schemes are only after your hard earned money.
In a nutshell, you want the system, training, tools, products and community toempower you to create the lifestyle you deserve and after 6 months of research and due diligence and nearly giving up I finally foundthe onecompanythat meets my srict criteria and I wish you the best of luck in finding yours and if you need any help or advice please don't hesitate to contact me.

Re: HOw to market a B2B consulting company
- [quote="zohahunt77":428owzbi]Hi, I was wondering if anyone can tell me the difference between B2B and B2C. I don’t know about b2b marketing but I have done marketing so know things about it. I will suggest you to take online services which will spread your business all over web network. Online marketing is the best way to market any business.[/quote:428owzbi]
B2B = Business to Business - You are marketing to other businesses.
B2C = Business to Consumer - You are marketing to consumers.

You can see my Bank statement.........
- Hi there,
Today we are bombarded with 'Business Opportunities' by the multitude.
I believe it is possible to earn a lot through the internet, but it is hard work. Nobody gets it very easy on a long term basis.
[b][b]How much notice do people take[/b], [/b]when the Bank Statements are shown as means of 'how credible' their business idea is?
Are they always totally true? They look authentic.
The whole industry is growing rapidly.
What is your experience? Is there any regulation in presenting the 'Bank Statement' or other statements from 'Click Bank' etc ?
Kindest Regards
