Free WHAT?
This in a new one too me, I must confess…
There is another “Free” course out there for people to get which doesn’t cost anything. It was sold last year for…are you ready…$1997.00. That’s cool and everything but, and this is a BIG but, you get it free. No problem there except for the fact that I have received an email from 9 different people excluding the originator!
You tell me why 9 other marketers would promote a “Free” product? It “JUST AIN’T HAPPENING!”
Giving away something of value HAS to be one of the BEST marketing gimmicks of all time. Especially when a value is applied and proof of sales. That’s all good as far as I’m concerned.
My only question goes back to, “Why would someone else give the same thing away for free?” Do you think an affiliate marketer is going to promote something he/she doesn’t earn something on? If you said yes, you are either not into internet marketing, or have spent too much time in the woods or desert!
I’m not even going to get this program for review since I have seen WAY to many of them. They all end up the same. Get my “Free course delivered to your door and only pay shipping and handling… I promise if you FOLLOW what I tell you, you will be earning money in X time!”
Since “I have become comfortably numb“, I may be biased here. It is after all your decision. Jump in if you want but, don’t come to me if you are unsatisfied… YOU WERE WARNED!!

I have seen many of these advertisements, and granted many of them have some useful information in them. It’s a great way to promote because it’s free. Someone is going to sign up for it if it is free. One or more name to the list, right. I’ve even started to sign up for a few of them myself. When you do go to get this free info it’s like Walter was saying “send me your address and pay shipping and handling”. Or it’s the old trick that “you can give this away free to help promote your list and affiliate links.” Meanwhile the product is getting given away to thousands and it has the originators affiliate links on it. Some will have programs set up so that you can put your own affiliate links on it. That is after you sign up under that persons affiliate link and then place yours in place of his.
All this points to the one main target group of the free product. The Newbies that are trying to market what ever they can for free to earn some money or build their list. There are better ways to do that.
