Hi, I would like to get some advice on working online from home. I have been trying to start working online for a few years now, and I cannot tell you how many scams and false promises I have came across. All I wanted was tips, advice and some help to get me started. After losing so much money and time with these online scams, I’ve taken it in my stride to set up a website of my own that offers legitimate home business opportunities with loads of tips and advice ranging from website creation, advertising, picking products as well as Google Adsense and Adwords tips and plenty of other advice that people wanting to make a living off the internet would be able to use to their advantage. I’ve spent over 6 months trying to get everything a online business seeker would and could possibly need. However, I don't know how to prove to potential customers that what I'm offering is legitimate and honest. How do I prove myself above all of those scams and false promises scattered all over the internet? I would also like to know what is it that home online business seekers are looking for that hasn't already being established on the market? Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
I think the area that you are in is really dodgy, making yourself stadn out from other is going to be very hard. Are you charging for your service? If you are then here are two ideas: 1. Start off not charging built up a trusted client bases and then hope that referral will grow your business. In a niche that is untrusted referral are the only thing that people will trust. 2. Charge twice as much as your competitors, people equate quality with price. charging a lot will make you stand out. You need to delievery though!
Agreed .......150% Its almost a contradiction - legitimate & home business do not go together... thats like military intelligence.... It's one of the worst categories one could involve themselves with.
Provide some free example contents, advertise, provide free service and ask for reviews in return, ask for testimonials of your clients...
I think that you'll find it very hard to make them trust you if you aren't free. If you are free, then it's easy. Just give them good information and try to make money off of referral links and adsense. If you charge, you're in trouble. You will likely only get gullible people of fall for it. Anyone who researches at all finds the answer that you never pay for leads. The only way it would work is if you made a great site with tons of information and then had them pay for a newsletter with reviews of new leads.
I don't know how you can think you will make money offering 'making money' advice if you don't make any. It seems you have answered your own question.
