Something For Nothing by Ann Armitage

By Ann Armitage

Appears everyone wants something for nothing. A bit extra, an incentive, a freebee, whatever you may call it.

It is a pitiful state of affairs that society has reached this place. Everyone wants, even looks for something for nothing. We demand the "free with purchase", the BOGO, the bonus 60 for the price of 30 etcetera. Naturally, we really are paying for what we perceive to be getting gratis without realizing that we are. Did we truly need that item? Would we have bought it if we did not get something more? In all probability not crafty selling ,wouldn't you say?

The sad state of the economy has sent huge numbers of people to the internet in search of an alternative way to make a little extra money. Some take a realistic approach, meaning that they have the good sense to understand that operating a business or online program from home will require both a monetary and a time commitment. And they do not fear it. They embrace the challenge and do not expect "hand outs".

Other folks are taken in by the "something for nothing" temptation. You know the ones

"Join our team for free" Or "Start this business with no money"

Sounds hunky-dory, right? Hey, you will be able to have a home business without expending so much as a dime! False! In just about every example, you will need to open your wallet to upgrade or buy product so you are able to to take in any earnings whatsoever.

Consider this. Would McDonald's or Starbucks hand over one of their dealerships for nada? NOT! Then why would it be any different in internet business?

Then there are the online marketers who offer irresistible tidbits in their advertising. Things like "I will advertise for you", "I will give you 1000's of free leads", "and "I will hold your hand and do all the work for you". The toughest to turn down is "I guarantee your success".

Everybody wants the biggest blast for their buck. It is human nature to want more, I suppose. However, if a person you do not know (and in all likelihood shouldn't trust) begins offering you the moon and stars think twice.

Especially when it comes to cash gifting. Cash gifting has become the most popular process for acquiring cash both online and offline. Bank shutdowns, people being stripped of their savings and the appalling state of the economic system have made cash very appealling to an always increasing number of folks. Gifting activities like Abundant Living and Epic Wealth which have exceedingly low-cost starter levels are flourishing.

A word of caution for those debating a gifting program it is really crucial to know that extending an inducement of any kind is altogether illegal. If you encounter such an offer, run in the other direction. Not from the company necessarily but unquestionably from the person. These people are caught sooner or later and booted out from the program.

You know what 'they' say...

"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

Do your prepexplore any and all programs you might debate joining

Know what you are getting into before you jump

Do realize that you will have to apply some elbow grease to find your success
