Has "free" helped your business?

I personally never made any money just signing up for any free sites claiming you can make money .

Percy Baker, I don't understand...please explain

percy i am show how to better their careers with mba?

Kishor Meswani, I didn't mean to do that but as most free things it comes at a cost...time, effort and people are involved. I get groups of people to sign up for whatever and I make a few dollars a piece off of each person.45 days or so later I invest whatever the money is on their behalf then offer to pay them.

I give them 3 to 5 more websites to do when they do the first one as instructed. When they finish those I then recruit the next group of people under their link for one website. Now the

Well Mike, you have a sucker in me for something FREE (but sensible), look forward to it!

MGrace N., thanks for the share!

Warren Contreras, the "picking up pennies" I have to use! Thanks

Kishor Meswani, I mostly give them to people who have joined one of my memberships or something because it often is abused...I will go over a few of them when I get a chance and send you some of them.

Yes, of course. Well, actually some of it. Yet simetimes, some of those free doesn't really help, especially in my field.

@Raymond you hit on the exact reason that sites like APSense (and others) are so valuable. It supplies the opportunity to create a public dialog like this one where anyone can read enough to actually get some feeling for the product or service being offered as well as get to know, like and trust the person promoting it. It's much better than free ad sources where people are indeed likely to click by all the offers, free or not.

I think it depends on what FREE thing/things, are being offered. A lot of FREE is often as vauable as a sack of ground. If the offer is a good one, it should actually help, but people are so jaded because of some of the garbage that people do offer free, just for a signup or an email address, that they often just click by free offers.

@Michael there is one flaw in your thinking. How do you know what the return is unless you invest the time? Some of these start off with results that anyone would be crazy to continue if they used that evaluation pattern, but leverage takes TIME to develop and sometimes as long as a year or two. As long as the time required is measured in minutes, I am willing to trust my gut feeling to determine if it's worth it.

I think that Free can be effective when used in a way that gives value equal to or more than the time invested. The problem is the perception that it might not be worth the time invested. As long as I receive valuable knowledge, then the time is worth it. If you have a reputation for truly trying to help people, they will value your offer of Free and you will get good results.

@Ljerka I have one of these penny clicker sites I have used since 2007, is that long enough? I should add, that I have collected over $4,700 from them and still use it every day, with no expectation of any change in the near future. So does that mean if they folded their business tomorrow, it was a waste of time for me to join? I joined another one a couple of weeks ago that may or may not last, but that doesn't mean it's not worth trying.

Not actually. There are sites that promise you some gain and that you can join for free, but usually they do not long long enough to be a real success. But it might help get a smaller sum of money to try something new.

@Kishor ANYONE can apply leverage if they only understand it and that is third grade simple. You can spend your time picking up pennies, or you can get other people to pick them up for you. It's that simple.

The problem most newbies have is they are too skeptical. They don't believe it can be done, so they don't do it. That doesn't mean it can't be done or they don't have the exact same capability to do it, it simply means they are not willing to trust a mentor and get the help they need to lea

@Warren, it is true but most newbies hardly have leverage development capability.

@Kishor I think you are due for correction.

There are many free sites that pay users small amounts from advertising revenue, but many of them allow the application of leverage, that can make earnings good enough for anyone to collect tens of thousands of dollars to invest in better paying ventures, with no out of pocket expense at all. I know because I have been doing that for many years.

The other EXTREME value of free sites, is you can build a reputation for helping others and connect with p

Let me share my reflections and thoughts here on such a relevant question of FREE........
First of all 99% of FREE websites take up too much of time & efforts to earn something so when you value your own time & effort it id better to get a PAID one.

FREE websites and other offers are excellent when a newbie needs to LEARN first hand at no cost, an education worth your time & effort. These hardly convert into anything substantial so one need to decide by self.

However, a caution is in place in
