business ethics


The Internet is loaded with informational websites uncovering the shocking facts about many innocent people having been scammed in their endeavors to set up successful and sustainable Online Businesses. This has been an issue since the start of online business on the Internet and isn’t something that is foreseen to be solved or eliminated any time soon.  

Most of the victims in these cases are people who crave to own an online business that they can run from home, which would allow them the flexibility to create that most sought after, unique balance between work and leisure/family time. Being passionate about achieving this, many people fail to conduct proper research and to their detriment often make impulsive decisions driven by emotion leaving them extremely vulnerable. This is the very thing that many “marketers” exploit and which inevitably causes innocent people to fall into the many traps that are being set up in cyberspace all the time.  

It is disturbing to see the garbage some “marketers” are allowed to include on their websites in their attempts to sell their so called online business opportunities these days. When reading some of these websites, one can’t help but to wonder what happened to openness, transparency and honesty in online business. In fact, it raises the question of whether business ethics have ever, or will ever exist on the Internet. 

One just has to spend a little time in doing some research on the Internet to discover that the same strategies to lure people into buying useless online business systems are being used over and over again. The hard reality is that empty promises are being tossed out there to scam vulnerable and innocent people all the time. 

Whilst it is true that there are many different ways of conducting online business on the Internet, the fact remains that just about every man and his dog offering business opportunities on the Internet claims to have the ultimate solution to online business. Many empty, misleading promises are often made about online business opportunities including phrases and terminology such as; 

100% Rock solid guaranteed… Killer system… Promise to put $$$$… into your pocket within hours, days, weeks…. Anyone can do this… Very little effort i.e. 5, 10 … minutes a day, week, month, …. Nothing like it out there… Free (Never mentioning all the add-ons that one needs to purchase) No questions asked money back guarantee… 

to name but a few. Apart from this, many advertisers often promise a hand held, step-by-step online business system, which almost never meets such expectations in the true sense of the word. To top it all, one is typically bombarded with the “what to do”, whilst the “How to do it” is conveniently left out of the equation. 

Furthermore, as it is said, the devil lies in the detail, or should we say the fine print. In defense of some website owners, it is true to say that we live in a very legalistic society and that there are always people who will abuse systems and/or policies and that one needs to provide for such circumstances. However, most website owners are legally completely indemnified in the “very fine print” Terms and Conditions on their websites from being held responsible or accountable for any success claims made on their website. This raises the question as to why someone would need to include such terms if they truly had the confidence in their online business opportunity as expressed on the selling pages of their website. 

It is not all bad though. Although one cannot ever be 100% certain that a particular online business opportunity would deliver exactly what it promises, there are a few useful checks that can be done to tip the odds moderately in one’s favor. If you are looking at engaging in online business, it is strongly suggested that you consider the following: 

Contact the Advertiser

Enquire as to whether the advertiser is contactable, i.e. telephone, email, mail etc., and make use of these contact methods to verify that the person actually exists. This conversation will give you an idea of whether you will be receiving after sales support in setting up your online business, if and when necessary. 

Ask questions about the Opportunity

Secondly, when contacting the advertiser, ask questions to clarify anything about the online business opportunity that isn’t clear to you. 

Seek Verification Of Testimonials

Check whether the people providing testimonials on the website are contactable and contact them to enquire about how they are doing with the product. 

Spot Unrealistic Claims

Don’t accept anything as a given. Watch out for unrealistic claims such as those listed, but not limited to, earlier in this report. The golden rule here is that if an online business opportunity sounds too good to be true, then it most probably is. 

Check The Terms and Conditions

As mentioned earlier, many marketers use this section to indemnify themselves legally from taking any responsibility for the claims they make. If this even vaguely appears to be the case, it is suggested to refrain from getting involved in such online business opportunity as it is most likely to be a scam. 

Seek A Reputable Merchant

It is worth checking whether the online business opportunity is marketed through a reputable online merchant such as Clickbank.com. The reason for this is that Clickbank offers a 60 day money back guarantee and they are renowned for honoring this commitment. It is suggested that you avoid relying solely on the guarantee offered by the advertiser. 

Read Product Reviews

It is worth searching the net for product reviews on the particular online business opportunity one wishes to pursue. These often provide valuable unbiased information on the product. 

These are just a few, yet critical pointers to consider that could make the difference between spending your hard earned cash on either a scam or a worthwhile online business opportunity. The secret lies in conducting thorough research prior to getting involved. It is commonly known that adequate planning contributes to 80% of a business’ success whereas the remaining 20% is in the running of it. This statistic alone should clearly be enough to adequately justify doing proper  planning, i.e. research. 

 



If you desire to have your very own successful online business, but have previously been scammed and as a consequence is lacking the confidence in identifying viable opportunities, allow me to help you through the process. I don’t claim to know it all, but I can help you not to make the mistakes I have. I would embrace the opportunity to come alongside you and jointly work and learn with you. I believe that together we can make a difference. Should you consider my offer to be of interest to you, please feel free to visit http://real-online-income.ws/ which tells you more about it.

insurance agent


Are you receiving a call at least once a year from your insurance agent to review your homeowners insurance? Does he or she review your policy annually with you? When you call with questions, are they answered promptly? Do you understand your coverage?

If you answered “no” to just one of these questions, you might want to consider finding a new agent – or have a discussion with your current one. It’s wise to periodically shop for the best price, and it’s equally wise to shop for the agent who will serve you well. So what should you look for?

LOCATION

If location is an issue, where is the office? Is it easy to find? Is there free, adequate parking? The best location of all is your own home. Some agents come to your home instead of you coming into their office. If that’s important, ask if this is something they normally do.  

COVERAGE REVIEW

Do you receive an annual review of your coverage? Your agent should provide this service because there are changes that might need to be addressed. Remodeling or an addition to your home will increase the value; this most likely will require an increase in coverage. Have you added siding? Is there an automatic adjustment to address the increase associated with the housing market?

PROACTIVE WITH YOUR PREMIUMS

Do you know if you’re getting the best premium rates? Shop around and get a few quotes. Let your current agent know you’re doing this. I’m amazed at how many people tell me they get a better rate when they decide to shop their policies. Don’t assume you are always getting the best premium just because your current agent was the lowest price when you switched to him years ago!

CUSTOMER SERVICE

A good agent is responsive to questions and your claims needs. Do you receive a call back promptly when you have questions? Are the questions answered in words you can understand, or in ‘insurance speak’? If your agent is great with helping you understand your policy, you can be pretty confident he will be there for you when you have to file a claim.

If you like your agent but just don’t seem to be getting the service you expect, let him know you’re going to start shopping for a quote and state why. This will give him a chance to address the issues; maybe he wasn’t aware of your specific needs. Being upfront about this will give him an opportunity to review your premiums.

So how do you find the right insurance professional? One of the best ways is to ask friends, neighbors and family members about their agents. Find out if they are happy with them and why they remain a customer. If you are in networking groups, civic organizations, belong to a church, etc., you probably already know some insurance agents. Talk to them; let them know you’re shopping your insurance and ask for an opportunity to meet with them. Even if you’ve know them for years, treat it like an interview. Just because you like someone doesn’t mean they’re the right fit for you.

Changing agents is a business decision, so make sure all of your questions are addressed. Get at least 3 quotes plus one from your current agent. Be sure you’re being quoted on identical coverage so you are making a true comparison. And then make your decision based on both the dollars and the agent. You might find a great agent with fantastic rates. Or you just might find you’re right where you belong.
