Step 3- What Makes A Bizopp Good?

There are several components that make some bizopps stand out from others. They include:

• Happy Provable Customers. Forget this "Love your program! Jay in NM!" stuff. You want to see actual testimonials from real, verifyable people (ideally, you should contact them and discuss in person just why they are happy.

• Realistic Claims. Hype hype and more hype are just dandy for reading pleasure, but let's face it - you will not make 83,492 dollars by stuffing envelops or sending out recipies to five select people!

• Proven Track Record. How long has the company been around? Are there financial end-of-the-year reports you can check out?

• Quality of Product/Service. Research the product or service on the Internet. No, don't just go to the web site of said product/service/company! Instead, visit Altavista for example and search for

<business> links

or

<business> experiences

For example, perhaps you are interested in learning about the Association of Certified Liquidators. The above query might return to the page http://www.contractorhell.com/acl.html , which has a list of sites where you can find consumers like yourself discussing it.

The above is (obviously) only a smattering of what makes a bizopp something worthy of your valuable time.

When considering what biz-op to invest in, be sure to first check out Tony Blake's Entrepreneur's Forum at http://www.ablake.net/forum and the Friend's In Business board at http://www.friendsinbusiness.com/board. Lots and lots and lots of folks have tried various and sundry biz-ops - the Internet allows you to ask around and read other people's experiences!

And of course, before you go into any business at all, you should first do your darndest to make sure you're not being scammed.

Scam Alert!

It's truly a sad fact of life that many many zillions of scams are out there both on the Internet and in the real world.

Before jumping into any opportunity, do the following. You might end up saving big bucks.

1. Check out the Scams 101 Course Catalog. Lots of common-sense debunking.
2. Next, go to ScamBusters and see if your "opportunity" is mentioned there.
3. From there, mosey on to the Better Business Bureau and read their alerts. Remember, though, no mention there doesn't mean the opportunity is legit - folks might just not have gotten around to complaining.

That out of the way, let's now go to Step 5 - finding good bizop links.
