It just so happens that there is so many negative items offered by online opportunities today that it seems more fitting to just list what an opportunity should not be.
Are there any more you can think of that can be added to the list or is there any reason you would like to remove some?

Although I agree with most of those, but the first and second one. Without products there is not a business. Look at every business-they offer a service or a product. With opportunities it is the same... You can offer a service i.e. mentoring, support, etc. or a product a drink, clothing, everyday items, etc. I have not ever found a opportunity that is legit that doesn't have some sort of product or service to provide.

Hi Brandy, Good Reply,
Item B- Relates to product sales quotas.
Products are the underlying item in all sales.
I just don't agree that when some one is investing their own time and money into an online business opportunity that they should also be held liable to maintain and or purchase any time related quota. In most cases if they miss their quota they lose all their down line and to me that's just a set up for failure.

I don't like quotas either. I can understand having to buy products. I buy products from the company I work for- for myself. I don't sell anything. I would never give up the products I buy for myself either-I love them too much.
I don't have a quota that I have to meet when it comes to my business, if I did I would have lost my spot a month into it. I don't know of anyone out there that doesn't have hard times or maybe even something come up. Life does throw you curve balls. I am a mother of two and if something happened to one of them I definitely would not be worrying about my business.

One question-Karl- how does the Solar thing work. I checked out the website and I know that the electric company I am with does the solar thing, but how does it all work? My husband and I would love to go even more green, but know how expensive Solar panels are.

Hi Brandy,
I appreciate your compassion. It is something most in modern day have lost.
Hold on to it at all cost. No one can take your dreams.

About the solar installation with Citizenre. If you are a U.S. Homeowner the Citizenre solution plan is to provide installed, maintained and serviced solar panel generators on all homeowners homes at no fee. Similar to the way cell phones were introduced at no cost except with the Citizenre plan it goes further to include averaged monthly rental rates for the system that are based on homeowners prior years electrical usage cost. In addition this cost is frozen for the life of the agreement, which can be from 1 to 25 years.
System users will no longer pay their usual electric utility provider and there are many other benefits listed at the site. Sign up now and lock in last year’s rates for when installations begin sometime next year when the manufacturing plant is completed and goes on line. In addition to all it’s win win benefits this project is national and will help so many in need who are presently enslaved to their present utility provider. There is no fee for sign up, engineering specs, installation, permits, upgrades or upkeep. A simple interest bearing deposit followed by an averaged monthly rental cost all of which you will know far in advance of paying any deposit.
Brandy I spread the news about Citizenre for future royalties that I will be able to receive monthly as cash or as credits applied towards my homes rented system. If you would also like to contribute now for future compensation the opportunity is available to you. I have been with Citizenre for 1 year now. I am excited about this overdue energy project that is not owned by any utility company.
If you qualify Just sign up at the website and you and your family will be given back office access to all the detailed citizenre information.
Power to the people,

This is a good list, although I can't think of too many programs, legitimate or otherwise, that don't ask for some sort of fee up-front before you get started; except for the one that I am involved in. Maybe you should flesh that one out to say "It does not ask for any fees etc., before explaining the exact process that one needs to engage in before the fees are paid."

Oooh! I just thought of another one. "It does not show the best case scenario when showing projected earnings." I think that's a great one, because a lot of people join because of what they were told to expect to make, but that is the top person that spends 26/10 on the computer (not just 24/7) and they don't have a life otherwise so all they do is promote and market so that's why they make so much money. Most people don't figure that out until way later.

I like the no fee until you know what you are doing one.

Although in another post you did say you paid to do what you do and then got a check back. Is there a reason that they charge and then give it back to you. Is there a requirement to get it back? I am just asking.

Well, its a little complicated, that's why we have a conference call explaining everything, but I will try to explain that part here.

Its not the company that charges a fee. This opportunity uses an offer site (Git-r-free) to get funds to leverage into more money for you. If you are familiar with these type of sites, you complete a certain amount of offers in order to complete the site.

You complete the site in order to qualify for the system. In order to make it "no out of pocket costs", the FOCS rebates you for the offers that you do on Git-r-Free. The only requirement to get the rebate is to complete that site. Does that make sense to you? If it doesn't, I invite you to join one of our conference calls. The founders of the FOCS explain it way better than I do (maybe because they created the system lol)
