5 Guidelines to Follow Before You Purchase Anything Online!
You need to have a systematic selection process to guide the selections you make. You will find a lot of “scams” online, so you need to be very cautious. You should check the backgrounds of the vendors and they should have top quality customer service departments that will give you a full money back guarantee.
After reading the above paragraph, do you want to do all that research? Well you really should to be sure that you are getting your moneys worth or even “scammed” out of your money completely if there is not a money back guarantee that the vendor actually honors.
Here are 5 Guidelines to use to determine which product or service you should purchase.
1. Review the whole page of the offer and then search comparable products for price differences. Decide if it’s a fair market value. Most products or services are competitively priced but there are still many online that are over-priced for the marketplace.
2. Check the backgrounds of the Company with the Better Business Bureau and see if they are an ethical business. You would be taking a risk if they are not even mentioned in the Better Business Bureau. This usally means they are a new company or one of those companies that keep changing their name but offer the same products or service.
3. Evaluate what the current trends are and what is in demand in the market. New products are coming online daily and it’s imperative to keep up with the current trends or what is “new” online. Computer products are a great example of this.
4. Evaluate the competition and determine if the quality of the product is more important to you than cost. If so, established name brands may be worth the extra price.
5. The most important part is to check the guarantee. If the company is backed-up by a larger company you will have double the guarantee. For instance, if you purchase a product from ClickBank, you will get a 60 day money back guarantee from ClickBank even if no guarantee is stated for the product on their webiste. Some companies require money back guarantee but don’t think they all do. I was ripped off for a product I bought through PayPal who does not require the vendor give a money back guarantee . It must be stated by the vendor on their website and you have to take your chances to deal directly with the vendor.
The vendor I got scammed with was selling a product called “Keyword ESP”. I hope you don’t fall for it like I did. That vendor says he has the best customer service but he ignores my emails and will not help to correct the problem with his software. As you can tell, I don’t recommend this product - in fact you can contact me and I can give you what I purchased for free because it doesn’t work!
So you see how important it is to research the background history of the affiliates who sell you their products. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same ethics you have and they don’t care who they hurt. A little research will protect you and you will be a happy customer.
These few bad apples give us good guys a harder time to convince people of our honesty. Thankfully, there are more good guys than bad guys. The jerk I got scammed from was the ONLY bad apple I’ve found online.
