Everyone on the Internet has something to give you for FREE! But in truth, the cost is not really FREE.
My ezine goes out to my subscribers for FREE, but I want them to pay for it by telling others about it, helping me get new subscribers, placing their ads with me, and generally helping me develop a business that will support my husband and myself.
All the FREE affiliate programs that are on the market, some of which are good and some not so good, do require payment. You have to market these programs, spending hours sometimes on the web sending out announcements and ads.
There are probably thousands of FREE ebooks available to people who want them. FREE? No. You have to download them, either to your computer or a disk. Some are gifts for buying other products. They cost something.
FREE articles for content are certainly not FREE. Someone had to spend time researching, writing, and distributing those articles.
These items may be FREE to you, but somewhere, someone had to pay something for them - whether money, time, energy, or thought - they were paid for by someone!
How much you do really appreciate something FREE? Do you take care of it as well as something you had to buy? Do you value that FREE item as much as the item that cost you a distinct price? Are you willing to share that FREE gift? Do you show your thanks for that FREE ebook by reading it and using it? Do you delete that FREE ezine without looking through all of it?
FREE is great! I personally love anything FREE, but I have learned that somewhere that FREE item cost someone something. It could have been me, so I want to appreciate it and take care of it. If I download a FREE ebook, I read it. I personally subscribe to a LOT of ezines, but I honestly do try to read through them all.
We live in the land of the FREE, but many have paid a high price to keep it that way. Enjoy the FREE things you get every day. Remember to send a short thank you for them if possible. Enjoy them! Use them! Share them! FREE is FUN!
