Many times, people post in forums, hoping to gain perspective on the online business world. There are so many people pushing this product and that or this membership site or that, and they all come across with hope and promise for the future. But when you’re new online, how can you tell a good site from a bad one, or a good learning system from a bad one? Where can you go to get information?
Happily, there are some reliable ways to figure things out. Before jumping into any online business situation, visit these sites to see where things stand:
Google (http://google.com): Type the company’s name or the owner’s name into Google and see what comes up. When you see more good stuff than bad (and there will always be unhappy customers), that’s a very good sign.
Domain Tools (http://domaintools.com): Type the domain into the blank, and see if the ownership certificate matches the website.
Twitter (http://twitter.com): Just ask about the program in 140 characters or less, and see what comes back. Again, a majority of positive replies would indicate that the company is a good one.
Better Business Bureau (http://bbbonline.org): If you see a Better Business emblem on a site, that’s a good sign. Take it one step further and see if the company is really listed in the Better Business Bureau, whether it has a good reputation, and what its rating is.
When you’re skeptical about choosing an online business to work with, these sources will help you to decide whether or not the company is reliable. The more good information you get back from happy customers, from the sources listed above, and just your own good feeling about the product should be enough to decide whether or not to pursue your purchase.
You can also check to see whether there are “trust” symbols on the website and hunt down their ratings. We’ve already talked about the Better Business Bureau, but there are also sites like Trust Guard, and Hacker Safe that indicate that the site is trustworthy. However, remember that some webmasters put these symbols up without really being a member. Be sure that if you’re skeptical that you check these sources, too.
Companies don’t want unhappy customers. When you find that the information is overwhelmingly negative about a company, then, the situation might be something to avoid. Always be sure. Nothing is worse than finding that you’ve spent your heard earned money on something that isn’t solid.
