Internet Marketing Startups - Take An Educated Approach

    CHARLOTTE, NC, October 12, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Karen Newman, Internet Marketing Leader, says that prospective entrepreneurs should conduct sufficient due diligence to separate the scams from the legitimate online opportunities.

Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware. According to Karen Newman, Internet Marketing Leader with CarbonCopyPRO, anyone considering a home-based internet business needs to be sure the company they are aligning themselves with is legitimate. "The direct sales industry has always been fertile ground for scammers seeking to mislead people and extract their hard-earned dollars," Newman said. "While this is nothing new, online scammers are finding it very easy to thrive in this environment and many people are losing a lot of money in the process."

CarbonCopyPRO is a training and development company that works closely with internet entrepreneurs as they launch and grow their online enterprise. Newman says that the company's sterling reputation has been earned one successful client at a time. "Legitimate internet marketing is a lucrative business," Newman said. "If an opportunity is real, there will always be a valuable product that is sold somewhere in the process. On the other hand, if there are no products in sight, and all that is being sold is the opportunity, it's probably a scam."

Newman says that the only way to be sure that an internet marketing opportunity is legitimate is to conduct sufficient due diligence up front. "Know who you are dealing with," advises Newman. "Speak with people, who are working in the business and achieving success. The more people you talk to, the less risk you will incur. You should be meticulous in your approach and be very thorough before you spend any money at all."

Even though the federal government is presently cracking down on internet scammers, Newman says that there is still risk out there, even if the opportunity is perfectly legitimate. "The reality of business in general is that sometimes they fail," Newman said. "A lot of variables come into play. Research is an important first step but there are a lot of things that need to happen after that in order for a business to succeed. At the end of the day, the ultimate success or failure of a legitimate business opportunity depends entirely on the entrepreneur who is running it."
