There are many Internet business opportunities that exploit the novelty of the Web as a lure. If you nibble, they’ll further bait you with promises of freedom, esteem, high income and the good life. For a fee, they’ll set you up with a company-sponsored, duplicate Website, along with products or services to sell. But many will also offer you incentives to recruit others to pay the fee, which is really what these so-called opportunities are all about. They are among what the U.S. Federal Trade Commission cleverly calls Dot Cons.
The real business of these types of dot-cons is not wholesaling products or services. It’s selling the concept of the scheme itself, and duping you into reselling it for them. But by law in most U.S. states, one can’t profit from recruiting, with nothing changing hands but fees and commissions for the scheme itself. That’s illegal pyramiding. To get around it, these dot-cons sell tangible, “distributorship” Websites on which to seemingly resell their products or services. But a closer look reveals that, what’s really for resale, is the distributorship itself over and over again.
When people think of marketing, they see it as product development and price setting. They see it only as a team that creates promotions and decide on how customers can purchase the products.
However, marketers are faced with much more issues than these. Their decisions must be legally sound, which is why they should understand patents, copyrights and trademarks. They must also be aware of the new world of the internet law (sometimes referred as cyberlaw). Being socially responsible, they must be in tune to society’s demands. Also, their actions must be ethical to prevent the moral destruction of the company they represent.
The Federal Trade Commission Laws are laws that govern about particular marketing practices as well as on how goods and services are promoted in a certain kind of industry. For example on business opportunities. As a requirement in the Franchise and Business Opportunity Rule, the sellers and the franchise of that specific business opportunity must provide the customers a disclosure document in detailed. This should be done with a minimum of ten days before the customer close the deal by paying money. At the same time, those companies that earn through representations must provide customers a black and white documented basis for anything that they claim.
There is no question with regards to the capacities and capabilities of the Internet. That is why, even with the presence of numerous laws and regulations being imposed, there will always be an enforced challenge. Because of this fact, the consumers, who are in this days of technology are very much informed, will always be one of the key factors in the proper evolution of the Internet and how it is being used.
The Internet provides many products and services to the users free of charge. But of course, the consumers are held liable to check and verify. To make a smart choice, consumers should require specific and clear information about the products and the services.
