Are you looking to find ways to create an income online?
I’m sure you have experienced at least these three issues in your endeavors… 
- Poor Products
- Misleading Advertising
- Poor Support
These might seem like common sense things to avoid, but you’d be surprised how easy it is to fall for them.
Poor Products Are A Waste Of Your Time!
One of the biggest problems is poor products that don’t live up to their promises, and it can be hard to tell if a product is bad until you’ve already bought it. You can cancel and get your money back in many cases, but it’s frustrating.
But there are some ways to protect yourself if you just do a little research.
First, always check for some reviews. Look for genuine, detailed reviews from real customers, and be cautious if a product only has glowing reviews that sound too good to be true.
Second, just buy the first product in the sales funnel and check it out before you move on. You will often get a decent idea of what’s in store for you in the following upgrades.
And talking about the funnel, go and find the JV page if you can, or see if you can find the delivery platform that is presenting it.
Here’s one red flag for me!
If the funnel has a load of products in it, for example I have seen them with as many as 29 different items. I ask you, is that owner trying to help you or just trying to make money from you?
I can make a pretty quick decision that way.
Misleading Advertising or False Scarcity Can Be A Real Pain Too!
- Lose 20 pounds in a week
- Make thousands of dollars from your couch
- Get flawless skin overnight
These ads are designed to play on our emotions and get us excited about quick results.
If a product seems too good to be true… What do you really think is the case?
Oh, and then they add some scarcity to try and close the deal real fast.
- This won’t be available for long!
- This offer closes today!
- Buy now or miss out forever!
Don’t be pressured by that.
Let it close I say, and go and look for something with a proven track record that you feel you may be able to rely on going forward.
Poor Support Is Another Big Red Flag!
Another major problem is poor customer support. This can leave you feeling like you’ve been abandoned once they have your money.
Good customer support is a sign of a business that cares about its customers. If a company doesn’t offer easy ways to get in touch or if they’re slow to respond, that’s a sign they might not stand behind their product.
Here’s a great test, and super simple to do. Just reach out to the seller and see if they respond. If they’re slow to answer or avoid your questions, that’s a red flag right there.
Buying online can be risky, but it doesn’t have to be.
The big thing is, don’t rush into your purchases!
Take the time to research, ask questions, and make sure you’re dealing with a company that values its customers, especially if something feels off.
In the end, the power is in your hands.
