Ann Armitage Asks, Can You Expect Something For Nothing?
Seems everybody wants something for nothing. A little extra, a bonus, a freebie, whatever names you may give it.
It is a sad situation that society has progressed to this place. Everyone desires, even anticipates something for nothing. We require the “free with purchase”, the BOGO, the bonus 60 for the price of 30 and so forth. Naturally, we are in reality paying for what we believe we are getting free of charge without being mindful that we are. Did we genuinely need that thing? Would we have purchased it at all if we did not get something additional? In all likelihood not cunning marketing when you think about it.
The deplorable state of the economic system has sent vast amounts of people online in hunting for an alternate manner to make a bit of extra income. A few take a realistic plan of attack, meaning that they have the horse sense to realize that working a business or online plan from home will involve both a monetary and a time dedication. And they do not fear it. They adopt the challenge and do not anticipate “hand outs”.
Other people are pulled in by the “something for nothing” offering. You know the ones
“Join our team for free” Or “Start this business with no money”
Sounds fine, right? Hey, you will be able to be in business without dropping a dime! Untrue! In nearly every case, you will be asked to open your pocketbook to upgrade or buy merchandise so you can to in reality be in a place to earn any profit.
Think about it. Would McDonald’s or Starbucks give one of their franchises for nothing? NOT! Then why would it be any different in online business?
It can also be easy to fall prey to some internet marketers who offer irresistible incentives 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 hardest to resist 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.
This becomes doubly important when it comes to cash gifting. Cash gifting has become the most popular method of generating cash both online and offline. Bank closures, people being stripped of their savings and the discouraging state of the economy have made cold hard cash in hand very attractive to an ever increasing number of people. Gifting activities like Abundant Living and Epic Wealth which are exceedingly affordable to the masses have memberships that are growing in leaps and bounds.
A word of caution for those considering a gifting program it is very important to be aware that offering an incentive of any kind is completely illegal. If you come across such an offer, run in the other direction. Not from the company necessarily but definitely from the individual. These folks are eventually caught and expelled from the program.
You know what ‘they’ say…
“If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”
Do your preparation, your due diligenceinvestigate any and all programs you may consider
Know what you are getting into before you jump
Do anticipate to put in some sweat to bring home the bacon
Don’t expect to get something for nothing
