In addition to the marketing and other support I mentioned above, most of these companies that are offering programs on the Internet will also build and maintain a landing page (sometimes called a splash page) that is personalised to you.This page contains promotional material and an optin box. Once visitors opt in they will find themselves in a (usually) very well designed and extensive website which does a great job of presenting the business opportunity.All visitors that opt in through your personalised page are tagged with your company ID which they then carry with them as they move around the main site.Any actions they take (requesting more information, requesting a call back or making a purchase) are credited to your ID - this ensures that your 'leads' are entered into your 'back office', where they can be tracked and managed through until they buy. And, of course, it ensures you get credited with the sale!Many of these companies also have a team of trained professionals who will make the callbacks and talk to your leads who show an interest in joining. This saves you from having to go through the potential rejections, or answering difficult questions, that's often associated with sales calls. It will also increase the chances that your lead will buy, since the people who are talking to them on your behalf are professional sales people.All the technical details are taken care of by the company. They will build and maintain your landing page and the main site - so you don't need any web design skills (or any other technical skills).All you need to do is build your sales organisation and promote your website.So To Summarise:These programs provide a great way for people who do not have their own product or internet business idea to get into a business of their own on the Internet.
But Be Careful..!
As with any opportunity where you're investing money, you must do your due diligence!Some of these companies have gone out of business leaving their members high and dry, and often out of pocket. You need to assess whether they're financially sound or not.You need to make sure that the products they're selling are products you'd be proud to promote. Products that bring real value to people.Better still if it's a product that works in both the online and the offline worlds!You also need to check out the culture of the company. Do the same type of research that you would do if you were joining an off-line company... for example:- What support do they provide..?- What kind of training..?- How open are they with information..?Remember: There will always be people who try to twist the system to their advantage! The Internet is full of less-than-ethical people (and organisations) who will take your money and run.Which is no different to the offline world, by the way - it's just that we're often more comfortable in the offline world and our defenses are better practiced!Make sure the organisation you join is ethical, financially sound, has products that provide real value and delivers on its promises
