The fact is that you CAN earn money online AND from legitimate sources too. But how do you know who you can trust? How do you know what system works? How do you protect yourself from scams?

Here are some things to look for when choosing an online business opportunity.

Products or Services with actual value

There are many companies out there, including large companies like Amazon and Best Buy, that offer Affiliate Marketing programs. Affiliate Marketing allows you to promote a company's products or services and earn a commission when a sale is made through your website link.

The key concern with some of these companies is whether or not they have real products and/or services. You should beware of promoting anything that has no real market value or substance.

Legitimate business only works when there is an exchange of money for a real product or service. Pyramid schemes exist online and off and usually focus on recruiting members into a program rather than the sale of an actual product. In short, make sure the company has a real product and that you are actually selling something of value.

Customer Service and Support

Legitimate companies that sell actual products and services will provide support. Legitimate companies will have a Customer Service Department or Technical Support division to assist customers who have either bought a product or intend to do so. Reputable companies offer this support in any number of ways including, online chat, support forums, Twitter, Facebook, telephone support, etc.

Time in business

The most trustworthy businesses are often those that have stood the test of time.It's very easy to set up a company on the internet, sell questionable products/services, then disappear suddenly when their business practices, or products, come into question.

Bottom Line: If you’re looking for an online business opportunity be sure to select a company that has been around for at least a few years. Longevity in business usually indicates an interest in keeping their customers happy, that they are accountable, and that they adhere to policies that permit them to provide a quality product or service.

I would like to recommend a company that has been paying me commissions for over two year now, Strong Future International (SFI). As an affiliate, I can tell you that it is totally legit and meets all the criterion I mentioned above:
