Sorry about the lack of posting recently. Our hosting company had a fire a few days ago and unfortunately the server had to be turned off

Affiliate news is a hot topic nowadays and why not! You’ll be hard pressed to find a business which requires you to put in only about a hundred dollars investment and then you can reap in the money! Well it’s true! You can make a good deal of money with the affiliate programs in the market but here are few things you have to be careful of before you start counting your chickens.

Consider the affiliate offer claim carefully. If it’s telling you that members can make a certain amount of money or income per month then you should get the references and statistics of the previous members who have earned such a profit. If there are no statistics or numbers than its safe to assume that the claims are bogus.

Get earnings claims in writing. Business opportunities which can cost more than $500 have to provide and earnings claim in writing. This written document has to have the earnings claim as well as the figures and proportions of latest clients who have at least a minimum of the said amount. If those ops are less than the earnings claim then you have to get it in writing.

Review the franchise disclosure document. Everyone needs to have a FTC or Franchise Rule. According to which affiliate owners need to sign with the buyers they have recruited a franchise disclosure document. This agreement is designed to have detailed information of the company you are signing with. Information about previous lawsuits or any other legal problems have also to be included in it so take a good look before you sign. It’s essential to check for a previous list of purchasers and not references. References can be faked very easily.

Check for past complaints. Do make sure you contact the attorney general’s office, state or county consumer protection agency as well as the Better Business Bureau in the area where your business opportunity promoter is based. Check for previous unresolved complaints as well as a history of complaints and lawsuits for any reason.

Consult an adviser first. Before starting any venture it necessary to meet with and attorney, accountant or your financial advisors before you start to sign any agreements. Also if you have to pay any money up front, then establish an escrow account with the help of your lawyer to prevent getting cheated. Its pays to be careful rather than sorry!
