How can you tell if an online marketing opportunity is for real?

[Ann]

I have seen many affiliate marketing opportunities one i'm particularly interested in but I don't know how to tell if it is genuine or if it is just a huge waste of time and money? What guidelines should I use to measure each opportunity by?

simple---just type into google the name of the 'marketing opportunity' followed by 'review' and read all about it

my advice--make your own opportunity--learn about writing articles ,go to fiverr.com and see how other people make money.Go to warrior forum(just google it) and see how many people write articles for a living

Making money online can be tricky. Especially for someone that's completely new to the idea. The best part about affiliate marketing is that it should never cost you money to be an affiliate, you can promote as many products at the same time as you like, you don't need to stock any products, and you don't need to worry about customer service. As far as knowing where to start. I started with a free video course I found. It answered a lot of questions for me and helped me get going in the right direction making money on the internet as a marketer. The site is called http://www.cashdailyvip.com and like I said the video training is completely free.

I just have to recommend one thing. Stay away from the idea of blasting you products on social sites. You could get kicked off for spamming.
