I intend to aid you in deciding that for yourself by creating this review that will try to cover this particular home business opportunity from the ground up.First off,Ikidsplace - Is it Worth It? Articles the concept of engaging in the industry that's geared toward marketing products for kids isn't all that bad. Think of all the money parents are pouring in to raise and make their kids happy everyday which is actually the marketing concept of Ikidsplace. In a nutshell, Ikidsplace.com system works by providing you with a personal kids commerce website that's fully operational once you complete the signup process. You can then start promoting your sales.

Sounds simple? I'm afraid that's not necessarily so. Promoting your products and making sales using any system is not an easy task. It involves skills in online marketing and traffic generation. Thus I don't think that this system is for people who are just starting out in the industry because it seems this home business opportunity expects you to do all that on your own. The program doesn't have any provisions for mentorship or guidance and as you might have already imagined, making this system work is indeed far from simple.

Assessing Ikidsplace further, I found three important things that you might want to ponder on if you do intend to jump in to this Internet marketing system. First off, the commerce website that you are provided with once you signup with Ikidsplace.com, is completely identical to those owned by other members. This would make it more difficult to sell your products as an affiliate since you don't possess any unique selling propositions to make.

Second is the fact that the commerce website that is provided to you is hosted by Ikidsplace.com; you don't have any control over this. If something happens to Ikidsplace.com then naturally it would also affect your commerce website which is the mainstay of your business.

Lastly, when checking the reputation of a particular online business opportunity, I normally check with the Better Business Bureau. They rate the reputation of a business from a scale of A+ to F. It was disappointing to see that Ikidsplace had a rating of F based on their records.

The Verdict

In conclusion, I have no problem with its concept because I do believe in affiliate marketing. It's just that the opportunity isn't well conceived. There may be money being made out of this program but I would say that this business is not a very sustainable one. Furthermore, the fact that this home business opportunity has an F rating with the Better Business Bureau, is also one important reason to steer clear. Overall, Ikidsplace.com doesn't seem to be a viable investment for your time and money.
