Direct Sales Expert or Fake?

Direct sales help sites for moms are a dime a dozen. You don't get
far in the work at home mom community without running into a
business help site. Although how do you know they really are really
qualified to help?

Before you take advice as fact, here are some points you should
watch for.

1. Are they in direct sales?
A silly question to ask, but you'd be surprised. All site owners
have one purpose - to make money. Of course there is not necessarily
anything wrong with this because, we're all in business to make
money. However, many who run "help" sites have absolutely no
experience in the industry.

2. Is there outside experts?
While it's great for experts to share their own tips, they should
also be seeking advice from others in the industry. What works for
some may not work for all. Remember, even the greatest of mentors
need a mentor.

3. Is the information solid?
Always check out a newsletter before buying any products from the
site. If the newsletter is fluff or filled with recycled
information, beware. Double check articles - you never know when a
ghostwriter with even less experience on the subject has done poor
research while writing the article.

4. Is the information being shared ethical?
If you don't believe in what you're being told to do, you can't
possibly make it work for yourself. In other words, do they share
the same goals as you?

There's a lot of good information all over the internet.
Unfortunately, there's no real solid way of knowing if what you are
getting is true or not. The best thing to do is if you are in doubt,
ask others that you know are successful for advice of what they
utilize.
