You’re probably on a bunch of mailing lists. Me too. Have you noticed lately that everyone seems to be offering “Free gifts?”
Or should I say that THEY (the writers) are saying that the gifts are “free,” when in fact, just lead you to someone elses site, wherein if you want this “free” gift, you have to sign up for THAT mailing list as well!
For one, I’m not really sure that qualifies as a “freegift.” I guess, in a roundabout way, it is, but only if its valuable to you. Seems a bit misleading at times though.
Second, it does irk me occasionally, that these writers think they’re doing us some big favor by telling us about this “free” gift… that isn’t really free since we have to sign up for yet another list! Sure, I suppose we can unsubscribe after downloading the free gift, which I suspect most people will do, unless the new list owner provides us with some great reason to stay on it.
The biggest problem I have with this ploy, is that it is NOT a free gift from the (first) list owner! The list owner is NOT providing anything other than “where” to get someone else’s FREE gift. To me, thats sort of deceitful, and makes YOU look bad. How reliable or honest do your subscribers think you are when you tell them that it’s free, when it is not (sure, it doesn’t actually cost you anything but your email address to get it, but still, thats NOT really free). AND, then, you call it “your” free gift - and it isn’t “yours” - it’s someone elses. You can’t possibly consider that just “telling” us about it is a “free gift.” If you think that way, then you really consider your words a gift? Hmmm…
Don’t tell me it’s YOUR free gift to me, when, in reality, it is NOT “YOUR” free gift, but someone elses! Why don’t you call it a “resource” you found or a free gift YOU found - NOT “your” free gift to me - because YOU aren’t providing the free gift, now are you? Unless of course, you think that a “free gift” is you telling me where to go to grab someone elses free gift! (which I most likely could have found on my own). At least when you call it a free resource you found, that makes a bit more sense and is more truthful.
Perhaps I’m taking it all wrong, and making a big deal out of nothing. What do you think? Let me know! I think if you’re going to give a “free gift” - let it be truly free! Like, here ya go! Download this, RIGHT NOW, here, no signup or other requirement to do.
That ones almost as bad as the gurus sending out emails claiming “hey, my friend Mr. X gave me (and only me… yeah right) a special great deal on this doo-dad that you can use too” - just click here! Seems to me, Mr. X has A TON of special friends, ALL with THEIR OWN special offers made JUST for them (lol!!). WOW! Thats amazing… and REALLY believable… (not)… since I get the exact same email from 100 other list-owners! But thats a whole other subject…
A friend told me about this new service called Revolution Money Exchange that is trying to compete with Paypal. I had to check it out, after all, they’re giving away $25 for every new account thats opened up!
It looks very good, if I do say so! No fees like paypal, free transfers between members, etc. This may turn out to be a great Paypal alternative.
You should check it out for yourself & sign up… But you only have until May 15th to collect YOUR $25! FREE Money is always good! I received mine, quick & easy 2 minute form. Go NOW!
Seems a lot of the marketers are using videos now to bring you the latest & greatest, show you tips & techniques, amongst the many other uses for this latest fad in technology.
Thats all fine & dandy. Video is GREAT! Heck of a lot better than reading an entrepreneur article, and more receptive than an audio. However, what I think some of these “producers” are failing to realize, is that these are WAY too long! Just in the past month or so, via “guru” mail, there has been at least 20 different people saying “Hey, come check out this wiz-bang new video I have about {insert gadget here}.”
Now don’t get me wrong, some of these truly are useful information, and within a reasonable length, but come on! Some of these are over an hour long!! Does it really take that long to explain it? Besides, do you think we have an hour to watch you rant on about your stuff… when we have 19 other people who want us to watch THEIR 1 hour presentations as well?
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I surely don’t have an extra 20 hours JUST to watch all these! Let alone decide which ones are good enough to use, then sign up for them and put them into action. I’ve got a business to run! So that leaves you with picking and choosing which ones you THINK are best to view. Video Producers, here’s a tip: you want me to watch your video - make it SHORT & to the point! If we’re genuinely interested, we can always sign up to your list to get more info (or maybe watch more of YOUR videos AFTER we decide your first one is interesting enough).
That goes for the newest “packages” that are being pumped out left and right too. I’ve seen sales deals where you can learn a new skill, technique, method, etc., and they advertise them as You get “10 Videos!” so you can properly learn this doo-dad! Well, thats all good and well, and sounds appealing from a buying aspect, assuming you are ACTUALLY going to watch the 10 hours that are included in this set. But will you? Or will you just watch the first 2 or 3 then put it aside for now & never get around to finishing them?
How about the REAL tremendous “deals” you can purchase: you know, that set that’s available that has like 12 different subjects within, and EACH subject has 10 or 12 videos included? Sure! Seems like a terrific buy for $79.97! After all, you’re receiving 100 videos!
If I remember correctly, when I added up the amount of hours it would take you to watch ALL 100 of them, assuming you actually DID do that, and also assuming that you spent 24/7 constantly doing so - no problem! You’d be done in 4 months time!! LOL! Yes, I realize no ones going to spend 4 months glued to their computer screen checking these out in that manner. Point being, honestly, WHEN are you going to have time to watch all these? Yes, you could spread it out and watch (and hopefully finish) them one topic at a time. Even if it takes you all year to do it. BUT, at the end of the year, when you are getting ready to finally watch that last set of videos, are the methods they teach in that STILL going to be effective? With the way the internet changes so rapidly, I highly doubt it!
So the next time you see that “super” buy for 80 bucks, take a minute to think HOW super it really is if you never use it! Not so good of a “deal” now, if you only get to put into use just ONE tactic from ALL of those. Well, perhaps the tactic could turn out to be just what you’ve been waiting for, but what I mean is it’s a waste to be buying 10 different methods (video sets) for 80 bucks, when you could just buy the one you like best for $50 or less. Save that other 30 bucks that you think is “just a little more” to add in to “get them all.” You really don’t need them all. You’ll never benefit from them all because you won’t have the time to review them all.
Sure, you’re thinking that, well, I’ll buy them all and if one method doesn’t work, then you can just move on to the next & give that one a go (etc., etc.). Yeah, like thats going to happen. More realistically, a month from now, when you get done “trying out” the methods from the first videos, and if they don’t work, one of 2 things will happen:
1. you’ll probably believe the other ones won’t work either.
2. The next “greatest thing” will have been released, to which you will more than likely jump on that… and totally forget about the rest of all those videos you bought the first time around!
See what I mean? So just save the time & your money right now & make a decision on which one will work for you, or which one will you actually be able to utilize to its full potential.
Now, if you’re reselling products, thats a totally different story, but I’m mainly speaking from just a “Learn from them” stance. I sometimes think NONE of the resellers actually EVER watch more than just the original promo videos for these items. After all, how could they afford to spend the numerous hours required to do so, when they’re too busy making their “millions” from their own businesses? (Oh yeah, sorry, forgot, they all have 650,000 people in their opt-in lists & it only takes them 10 minutes a day to whip out a new email for their next hot-selling product! So being that thats the way they make their dough {you know, the money is in the list}, and thats the only thing they have to do all day long, they’ve got all the time in the world to watch videos!)
Moral of the story:
Buyers: THINK about how much time you actually have to watch the strategies being presented. Make a choice. Then purchase only that one… and NO more.
Sellers: Make your initial promo vids SHORT. Give us a break, we have enough stuff to do already without compiling more on top of it.
Buyers/watchers: if you think you can multi-task WHILE watching these videos, you’re probably going to miss some important details.
Sellers: With the viewers multi-tasking because they really don’t have the time to watch your hour long video, they WILL be missing out on listening to some of the details of your offer… thus… when its over, they won’t buy because they weren’t fully paying attention in the first place! You could have solved that problem with a brief 5-10 minute presentation that would probably have been fully watched & fully payed attention to!
Buyers & Sellers: If you ARE multi-tasking, that means you AREN’T really “watching” the vids! So, why in the heck are videos such a rage if no one is watching them, but rather just “listening” to them???? Isn’t that what audio is for???
I recently came upon this new website that offers what most Affiliate & Internet Marketers absolutely Crave (besides money): Software & Tools that they can use to effectively do the tasks that are a must when you have an online business.
I must say, with everyone trying to sell you something nowadays, with “supposed” bargain prices (and sometimes not), that the items that are here at this website, in my opinion, truly are a fantastic deal. You may not need everything that this “Ginormous Package Deal” contains, but if you sell via the internet, you’re probably going to need some of these, either now or in the near future.
Heck, for the price that this is being made available for, comparatively to the other products & utilities that are out there on the market, consider it like buying 3 or 4 GREAT tools for full price - and getting 1000 more for FREE! (really).
Along with all the cool software that you get, there’s literally thousands of other knowledge gathering items included (AKA ebooks). Not to mention the PLR articles, templates & graphics, blogging tools, traffic tactics, adsense & clickbank resources, techniques & tricks, and just about anything else that consists of an Internet Marketers Dream! The best part about this, is that once you get these, you can resell everything! They come with either Master Resale Rights, Private Label Rights, or some kind of resale rights so you can make some money with them! Shouldn’t be all that difficult finding (at worst case) half a dozen products that you could make an absolute killing from. Then you can just play around with the rest and probably make a few hundred bucks here and there! Not to mention all the useful schooling you’ll get out of acquiring the package (and then be able to offer it to others - kind of like getting paid to learn)!
To state that you WILL be amazed is putting it mildly. Just the quantity alone that is herein is staggering. And you won’t have to worry about taking a day (or more) off to download all these, as the products are compiled all onto cd’s! Now that’s what I call convenient! Plus it doesn’t hog the space on your hard drive!
Forget all those crazy “giveaways” (that seem to be popping up one a day now) where you spend a week downloading all that material & head over to this site & get most of them in 5 minutes instead!
My final 2 thoughts about this deal:
#1: I Sure wish this had an affiliate option attached to it, because hot stuff like this sells like crazy! I can’t remember the last time a BIG (like REALLY big) software package was offered for a reasonable price… one that I actually wanted to acquire myself. I figure if I’m interested in it, it’s got to be something good, since I’m pretty picky about things and don’t just go out and buy the latest doo-dad.
#2: I’m jealous that I didn’t think of doing something like this myself!
Of course, like anything else that’s worth it’s while, there’s a limited number of these package deals available, so I’d say at least go view whats offered & see if its something you can use. As in right NOW, before everyone else scoops them all up… unless you honestly prefer to spend your time endlessly downloading items that are probably just going to sit on your hard drive collecting edust!
Ok, I’m off to grab my own copy if there’s still some left…
There is a brand NEW website opportunity available right NOW for you to get some useful backlinks to your websites!
Not only that, but you can earn cash via google’s adsense program through this.
Plus the site rewards you with credits, which apparently you will be able to spend sometime down the road.
Qassia is the name of this NEW website & they are trying to be the premiere place for “intel” unlike the other informational sites that are out there.
They are offering you unlimited “live” backlinks to your website on EVERY single page that you have hooked up to your account. Write about absolutely anything and everything that you know (local stores, places you visit, your crazy friends, your irritating boss, etc.) and earn “credits” for this “intel” that you submit.
The intel you submit will all be on separate pages, and each page will contain adsense ads. If they get clicked, you earn an amazing 100% payout of the gross advertising revenue on these! Unlike other shared-revenue sites, this is a huge payout! The company doesn’t care about the generated revenue, they simply want the intel!
All in all, you get a triple incentive to contribute your intel!
I’ve already signed up & you should too.
New memberships are welcomed via an invite only, so if you want to get in on this, here is your invite:
If you missed out on the beginnings of other similar sites like this (meaning you missed out on the huge growth & payouts too) then get in on this one right NOW! There’s a whole lot more they are offering also, but I can’t list everything here! Go see it all:
Qassia is currently in closed beta. That means you can sign up (totally free) and view intel ONLY if you are referred by someone who is already a member (like me!).
sorry, forgot, they all have 650,000 people in their opt-in lists & it only takes them 10 minutes a day to whip out a new email for their next hot-selling product! So being that thats the way they make their dough {you know,
