Scams are a very real problem for people working at home and for home business owners. Although residual income opportunities are often scams, there are many that are not. In fact, there are many that are legitimate and can actually provide a nice income source. In order to weed out the scams, you must be aware of the signs.

The number one rule for avoiding scams is to never pay for a job. Any opportunity that asks you to pay to work for them is not worth it. For every one of those opportunities you can find plenty of real ones for free. The only acceptable time to pay for a job is when the company gives something in return. For example, paying for sample products is okay. Many direct sales jobs require representatives to buy a start up-kit, which is fine. You should not pay for any start-up or administrative costs. There are more options available. Following are some things to be on the lookout for in order to help you avoid scams. These can be a general guide and a time saver when considering any business opportunity.

· Good products or services: The products and services should be real, something people will buy and something that is in demand. It goes without saying that if people don’t buy your business is doomed.

· Support from others: Every business opportunity should offer a support system. This is generally from the sponsor or a team or both. A team is formed and its members work together to build a strong business. Without this support, which is the foundation of most businesses, it will be more difficult to be successful.

· Company staying power: The company should be solid, have growth potential, be debt free and have a good reputation.

· Startup should be easy: Getting started should not be difficult. The process should be easy and duplicatable so that new enrollees do not become discouraged.

So be on the lookout for scams, eliminate them and proceed with your search. Once you have done your research and chosen an opportunity, you can concentrate on the business you’ve chosen and on making real residual income.
