Take two of the most popular internet based home business programs on the planet, Global Domains International and Empower Network, and you’ll notice they have one thing in common. Too many affiliates fail to make the most of these opportunities, overlooking simple steps and failing in their home business.

After five years working from home, we have seen that the vast majority of folks who fail to get anywhere fall into these situations.

* Regardless of what big claims are given, the overwhelming majority of affiliate are receiving absolutely no help from their sponsor at all…

* As with anything new, people who are trying either company for the first time don’t know how to get the ball rolling.

* Many of them resort to trying to sign up friends or family, which never works.

* Many affiliates are fed false statistics, believing they’re going to build an online income in a week.

There’s a couple in that list which will go away by simply applying your own common sense to your business. However, there are a few which are genuinely tricky to prevent.

One of those is the issue of so called Guru types making all kinds of promises and guarantees of easy riches, then providing zero actual help after the member has handed over their membership money.

We’ve all probably encountered folks who would make any crazy promise they felt necessary in order to squeeze and extra buck or two for themselves, and you should treat them the same online as you would online. If it looks too good to be true, it definitely is. So how are you supposed to know when somebody isn’t pulling your leg?

As great as both companies are to build an online income, it’s very difficult to find a sponsor in either who is not just trying to earn a commission. Let’s face it, every video or website you view is an advert. They don’t want you to join the company, they want you to join THEM in the company. Here are some guidelines on what to look for and what to avoid.

Look out for sponsors promising they will build your business on auto pilot if you join their downline. Also beware of affiliates who claim they’ll provide you with a fool proof system which does all of the work for you.

If it did all of the work for you, they would not be out there advertising for you to join them, would they?

Realizing there is no get rich quick system in either business opportunity is the hardest step. We want to believe there is. But any successful affiliate will tell you this is the biggest difference between them and those who fail.
