We at GoMatador.com know how hard it is to find information on legitimate home-based opportunities on the web. In fact, that is why we are here. Go to your favorite search engine and search for “home based business”. Most of the results are scams, get-rich-quick schemes or biased informational sites trying to steer you to their specific offer. So how do you know that the opportunities here on GoMatador are legit? In order to be an advertiser or have a profile on our site, a business must meet our strict criteria.
For example, many companies listed here are registered with a researchable organization such as the DSA (Direct Selling Association) or the IFA (International Franchise Association). They are required to offer a legitimate product or service, and not base potential earnings on recruitment of “downlines”. Profiles of independent reps working with Network Marketing (MLM) companies are frequently reviewed by our team and warned or removed if their profiles contain language that we feel is misleading or misrepresenting.
We only accept Affiliate Marketing companies that make reasonable claims of earnings, offer comprehensive support, tools and/or training, and have longevity in the market. In other words, they have proven their system through time and have shown a success rate we can stand behind.
Individuals and businesses represented here pay a fee to get their details in front of you. We have found that this fee helps to weed out any bad apples, leaving the hard working, valid companies and reps who understand that paying for this kind of advertising and representing with integrity gains them the ability to have their companies reviewed by the kind of prospects they are truly looking for.
Additionally, we allow our site to "self police" by using our Report Prohibited Behavior link. Any user who feels that someone's claims are not legitimate, or feels that a profile or advertiser is in violation of our Terms of Use may use this link to report the accusation. All claims will be fully investigated and appropriate action, including but not limited to removal and banning from the site, will be taken.
Bottom line, there are A LOT of great work-from-home opportunities available, and GoMatador.com works hard to keep our site a safe, legitimate and fruitful forum for businesses to network and find new reps, franchisees and staff. As with ANY entrepreneurial venture, there are risks involved, and not every business that opens is able to stay open. We have eliminated the obvious risks by making it a priority to keep scams off our site. The success of any of our featured ventures is entirely up to you!
