The lure of FREE

FREE FREE FREEEeeeee!!!

I can only assume that you, also, are constantly bombarded by such adjurements…

FREE!! 

NO Risk! 

We do ALL the work!!  and other such twaddle..

('twaddle' is not really a word by the way

- sorta surgreen speak. sorry 'bout that)

We are all here, as internet marketers, to make money. The amount is not important to this discussion. We are here to earn, simple.

In the offline world we are also required to earn in order to survive.

Offline businesses do not typically give away their products (samples and bonuses notwithstanding, as these are valid marketing and retention strategies). Were they to do so, they would be rapidly denuded of stock and resources or capital with which to produce more.

This brief post is intended to have the reader think about simple realities. Realities which are not changed simply by the fact that the business or products happen to be online.

Realise that the claims made are simply enticements to participate. While earnings may be forthcoming, there is literally no chance of them happening either quickly or in such abundance to establish a useful income. Certainly, free memberships have a place. I still maintain free memberships at several sites which, I feel, serve a useful purpose in my marketing portfolio.

I could continue discussion of this subject almost endlessly. I am not going to do that however :)

If you wish to discuss this point further, please feel free to contact me directly..

Thanks for your time :)
