The TOPS Home Profit System, by Amanda Stevens, is promoting a work at home business system that claims to be an “easy, proven, and guaranteed way to make $379 a day and more.”
TOPS Home Profit System is new site which reports having a certified link posting training program. In addition, if you purchase their program you will receive a one-on-one consultation with a successful link poster.
Link posting is a form of affiliate marketing where you post advertising links for other companies. If a customer uses that link to purchase a product or service, you receive a commission from that sale.
Once you have completed the certified training program, TOPS Home Profit System says you are guaranteed a position as a Search Engine Agent.
What is a Search Engine Agent?
A Search Engine Agent is a new industry term for internet marketer who specifically makes a living posting links for other companies. Internet marketing generally encompasses a wide range of marketing techniques, with link posting only being a part of the bigger picture. However it has become common in the industry to refer to marketers who primarily post links as “Search Engine Agents.”
Part of the common misconceptions about Search Engine Agents is that they are being given a job by the large corporations they are posting links for. This is not the case. Link posting is an independent business opportunity. You partner with the larger corporations by becoming a part of their affiliate programs.
Large corporations will accept most affiliates because they have nothing to lose. They do not pay you any money unless the links you post result in sales to their company. In this matter the TOPS Home Profit System sales page is misleading, because it seems as though they are saying Search Engine Agents are paid to post links, when the reality is they are only paid when a link results in a sale.
Is TOPS Home Profit System Legit?
Well, many people make money affiliate marketing and link posting for other companies. The business opportunity is actually a very popular one.
TOPS Home Profit System does not fully explain how link posting works, however, as they fail to mention that posting links actually takes a monetary investment on your part, beyond the $97.00 you will pay for training.
But if you try and utilize all the training and tools offered by TOPS Home Profit System and decide that this business opportunity is not for you, you may request a refund within the first 90 days of purchase.
If you read the small print at the bottom, it says that the 'Kelly' story is a composite as are the 'reviews' on there and are just as an example of what may be possible....I don't know if this is the same in the US but here they have to show the 'small print'....and it certainly is small!.
Despite suspecting it to be dodgy, I read through as I am currently out of work, but then cross checked the company with Google......surprise surprise!....I found this, and other similar forums, to enlighten me.
One day there will be ways to deal with these arseholes, they are like religions, they prey on those that are in need of something with promises of things that they can't fulfil.......I've learned to be wary of anything like this to the extent of not even applying for some jobs that have later turned out to be legitimate.
That's the sad thing......there must be many others that have done the same and possibly lost out, as I have.
Keep up the good work...
