How To Utilize The Free Opportunities To Your Best Advantage.
by PD McCloud
There are many who will say, “you have to spend money to make money”. Yet, others will tell you that’s not quite so true. Really? It depends on what you’re talking about.
There are a lot of programs who claim that if you’ll just join their program for X amount of dollars per month that you’ll make thousands of dollars. Yet, very few have actually realized that dream. Oh, it happens, but for only the few elite members who are offered a top spot in the matrix, or whatever system is being used to calculate earnings is used. The reality of these types of programs is that the “average joe” has little to no chance of really making it unless they already have a loyal following of down-line members from another program, or a very large email list.
Now, let’s look at the requirements of the “free” programs. First, they are free to join. There are no monthly fees for being an affiliate in that particular organization and, in most cases, they provide a real, viable product – unlike the pay programs who provide you with over-used ebooks or videos to offer. The free program relies on a real product as this is the only real source of income the program earns. It’s pretty hard nowadays to promote ebooks or video’s that have been around for more years than most of us using the internet has been.
The free program provides the opportunity for you to make money with thier program because they know that the product they offer is useful. They don’t need to charge you a monthly fee for being an affiliate. They’re money is made on the basis of your success. If you don’t succeed, they don’t succeed. They have vested interest in making it as easy as possible for you to succeed. They will usually provide you with all the materials you’ll need such as banners, sample emails, and other advertising materials. And, they provide it free of charge to you.
I can’t speak for all the free, or pay programs. I can only tell you about what I know. The one program I do know is SFI. And this program IS FREE to join. I’ve seen people build an organization that earned them 5k month and more from nothing. This of course took them a long time to build, but they were in no hurry I guess. I, on the other hand, am not so patient. I took advantage of every tool that SFI had to offer, and then some.
Though not required, SFI has one of the best ad coop programs on the internet. For just $24 a month ($22 if your a Booster Club Member which is also free to become) I recieved a share of all the signups that came through, world-wide. Of course the more shares you buy, the more signups you’ll get. In the time before, and after joining SFI I had built a relationship with several different marketing sources and subsequently brokered a deal for myself and members of my organization. You can read more about that on the official SFI Team Coop page.
Getting back to my opening statement . . . with SFI you don’t have to spend money to make money as there are free alternatives available to build your organization. However, if you want to start the fastest way possible and start earning money faster, it is advisable that you plan on spending at least a little each month to promote your business.
