Free Vs. Paid - How Do I Decide? - Marketing

The underlying theme of this message is Free vs. Paid. EVERYBODY with an Internet connection eventually signs up for something FREE. It could be a contest for a cruise, or it may be a program that promises that you will earn lots of money in a short time frame.

Hopefully, you are starting to learn that there is a lot more to Internet Marketing than joining FREE programs and listening to promises of running to the bank, to cash checks.

Ask anyone, anywhere, with a GOOD income, what THEY PAID to start their own business. I bet NONE of them will say it was FREE! Ask those SAME people how great it is to be your own boss and set your own hours, and you will get SILLY looks, I bet. It takes LONG hours and you could be the worst boss you ever had! Forget the Moonlight and Magnolias for quite a while. Concentrate on blood, sweat and some tears.

The Internet has opened up a whole New World of marketing products. We can sell our products to people in South Africa, just as fast as to someone in Italy or even someone in our own city. What NEVER changes are the Basic Foundations of selling ANY product.

* Your product MUST BE needed or wanted. (Demand)

* You NEED to make that product available. (Supply)

* You must BE honest and fair with everyone. (Customer Service)

Of course there are ALWAYS a million details to attend to, but these things are the basics. These are BASIC things that you can not leave out. SURE, if you decide to work as an affiliate and sell someone else's products, you may be able to cut your costs considerably. BUT....how much will YOU EARN?

Even a FREE affiliate program can have a high cost in TIME and Advertising fees. Some require an upgrade to paid status before you can BEGIN to earn any commissions.

FREE IS NOT always the best and actually, it is seldom really free. You can spend so much time and cash on a free business, that you won't ever make enough money to pay yourself more than the minimum wage.

QUITE OFTEN people give up in frustration, because everyone that JOINS them is ALSO FREE and NO money is generated by FREE members. There is NO question about it...

FREE isn't all it's cracked up to be!

YOU really have to WANT to take control over your own BUSINESS situation. You MUST be DEDICATED to building a real business of your own. You have to be WILLING to make the necessary sacrifices NOW to MAKE MONEY in the future.

It's FOOLISH to think that a few bucks a month is too high of a price to pay to have the Tools, Training & Products to jump start your own business, but MANY people feel that way. The SAME Internet that opens up a Whole World to us, SCREAMS at us from every direction - FREE!

Makes sense? You can SELL to the entire WORLD and make NO MONEY!! Use common sense. Talk to people you know that MAKE MONEY. Please do me a favor. if you find any RICH people that got there for FREE, working about 10 hours a week, email me. I'll bite:).
