I'm just curious if "in general" WAH opportunities are more solid when an investment is required up front, or if the opportunity is presented free. On one hand free offers always upsell somewhere in the backend, but yet offers which require an investment before you get started are almost always classified as scams, its like a paradox lol

Anything is going to require time for it to succeed. If you are dedicated and self motivated but are not very experienced in working with computers or getting around on the web, there are many courses that are inexpensive you can get signed up with and they will walk you through step by step everything you need to know to get your business off the ground. I didn't know anything about anything when I first started out. But now, well we'll just say some things have changed. Hope you find something you like.

Hi Coupon Mom,

That's a tough question. There are good and bad programs in both the free and paid varieties.

For instance, the link you are recommending as free - Partner with Paul - has a terrible reputation as being a huge scam. Just because it is saying free doesn't mean it's good.

By the same token, just because it's paid doesn't mean it's good either. There are some very high end (expensive) programs that people fork out good money for that are very poor quality and do not enable the end user to really benefit by building a profitable business. They are designed to just continue to suck people dry financially. Sad but true.

It's important to really look into a program that requires up front payment to determine whether or not it is worth your investment.

You want to find out what other users are saying about it. Are there are a lot of complaints and/or dissatisfied customers? Have they been around for awhile? Can you find people who have used the program for a while and been successful?

You also want to have a general understanding of what you would be getting into. You don't necessarily have to know exactly how to do everything before you start, but you should at least understand what the general plan of action will be.

A big warning sign is when a program is claiming that they will make you tons of money fast. That is so highly unlikely that it is usually a scam 99.9% of the time. Unfortunately, there are enough people willing to suspend common sense and hope that it's true that these shysters make a lot of money promoting their useless materials. Don't allow yourself to be another gullible buyer.

To build an online business will definitely require an investment. It will take a lot of time and at least a little money. The amount varies depending on what type of business you choose.

Some people prefer the "free" methods when getting started, but it's been my observation, that they usually end up making a monetary investment in the long run when they see the benefit of doing so.

I didn't have a lot to invest when I got started, but when I found a program that genuinely made sense and met all the criteria I mentioned earlier, I took that little plunge (it seemed like a big one at the time ) and dove into it. It was well worth the investment.

I completely understand the confusion of trying to find a reliable "opportunity" and the debate of whether to go with free or paid. I was just like everyone else starting out and wallowed in the confusion myself for a while. I ended up choosing the right "paid" opportunity (thank the Lord) and have been very pleased with the results of my growing online business.

I hope you will be able to do the same and find something that is just right for you without getting discouraged while wading through the rubbish heap.

Blessings,
Angie

I completely agree with happywife...it took a significant amount of time for me to actually take the jump and commit to a program. I actually tried several without success proir to the tools that I am currently using with great success. I fell the most beneficial advice that I could offer would be to commit to yourself.

Plan to Work & Work the Plan. There are no successful get rick quick schemes, there are however proven models that drive performance. Find one that works for you, fits your style and will help you drive success.

To be totally honest, I haven't noticed a difference. I do one WAH that I had to pay about $100 up front for, and I've already made a lot of money off of it, but I have another where I have paid nothing outside of $2 for shipping and have made just about as much money.

They are two very different programs. The one that I paid up front for is a sales type of WAH program, and the one that I didn't pay anything up front for is nothing but posting links. Both have been great programs that have done a lot to improve my income. I graduated from college just under two years ago, and due to the economy I haven't been able to get anything that pays more than $12 per hour, which means that before I was doing these programs I had next to nothing. One of them is the link in my signature, which is a highly reccomended program. It's an up-front payment thing, but it's not too expensive.
