When you say it is FREE it should be FREE

Is there anything that ticks you off more than finding some information you have been looking for for a long time just to discover that you have just been duped? Does it really ruffel your feathers to find some free information on a subject you have an interest in just to find out that the only thing free about it is FREE Access to the money page?

It bothers me so much I have to complain about scams like these or I am not doing my job.

Well, I'll tell you, it burns my ass when I get hit like that. It makes me want to climb through the internet and wring someone's scrawney neck. And if I could do it, I would. However, I know it would be an all day job. It happens way too many times.

Just today I received an email from a person I had received many from before. However this one was a little different. It was from someone I thought was a little higher than the normal would be guru.

It was information I had not been looking for but something I did have an interest in so I was pleased when it showed up in my email. It was free, free, free. Well, that is what the email said, several times.

It also said no sign up required and no opt-in. Just good free information. WOW, what a change. Someone offering to help the people with no thought of payment. How unusual.

Well, that was just the email. It had a special link to another site filled with more information. There was a download button where you could download a free report and another button for another report and yet another for a third report. Loads of information.

That is where things changed. All that free information is what everyone on the net already knows. Just rewritten in a convencing new way. It was so well worked that you wanted to read it all before you realized that you already knew and used the information it contained.

And then there it was, right at the bottom of page three. If you want the real scoop, the real information, the true grit of the subject sign up here. Thats right, a sign up.

Sign up and commit yourself to more than half a hundred dollars each and every month. And for what? And for how long? What does half a hundred bucks really get you?

There was no guarantee that the information provided would do you any good at all. There was no way to be sure the money you paid each month would be to your benefit or not. nd no indication of how to cancel. That is not a gamble I want to take.

I know you have to spend money to make money but my mamma didn't raise no fool. I'm not about to commit to any monthly amount without knowing for sure it is going to benefit me in some way.

I can go on google and find all the information that site and those three pages contained, In fact, I have. I have found all the information I needed to create my first website and every site thereafter by searching through google.

I can give you addresses that will tell you all you need to know for free. Yes, I said free and these addresses really offer free stuff. Important stuff. Stuff that can make you money if you apply it as they diescrbe it.

There are a few people who realize that they can never have all the money in the world and wouldn't know what to do it they did have it so they are more interested in sharing knowledge with others and allow them to prosper too.

Believe it or not, there is enough money in the world for both you and me. If we share it. I wouldn't kid you about a thing like that. There really is enough.
I learned a long time ago that there is only so much I can spend in a lifetime and anything above that is a waste of my time. So why not share what you know.

The point is, if it is free then make it free. Don't lead me around to the back door and pick my pocket on the way. Don't tell me you have something free for me to look at and then ask me for money to see it.

Go ahead, send me your comments on the subject. I appreciate all the feedback and input.

Here is the address to another of my sites. If you are considering a vacation and not sure of where to go check it out. It is full of free (yes, FREE) information on locations of excitement and adventure in the Western states of America. Places ro go to just have fun and not break the bank doing it.

I haven't posted here in quite a while. Been pretty busy on other things. Writing and publishing a lot of articles, working on my websites and other things. But sometimes something goes flying through your mind and you just have to take time to blog about it.

One of those things for me is the programs that offer something for FREE. I have never been able to figure out what it is that they have for free. They say it is free information about making money. Have you ever looked at any of those free information ads?

Of course you have or you wouldn't be here reading this.

Believe me, it is not easy to find real. Almost every time you look at something free it has a dollar sign attached somewhere. The only thing free about it is the gotcha page. Thats the page that gotcha to click to the next page where you are asked to send money.

If you are not careful, you will find yourself so enthused with the promises of the second page that you will send some greenbacks in and get instant access to page three which gets to the real meat of the first page. Page three is the big dollar page.

If they got you this far they feel pretty sure you are desparate enough to send even more money. And sometimes we do.

What really angered me was the fact that I once sent my money in and all it got me was another advertisement for a program. I was stupid enough to pay them to send me an ad to their product which wasn't that good anyway.

There is money to be made online but FREE isn't always the answer. Just be careful what you pay for. Read it twice before you send in any cash.

There is a comment section down there somewhere, send me your comment or story.

I still see a lot of people looking for some sort of extra income. Some way to make the paycheck cover all the needs of a home. Car payments, mortgage, phone and cable. All the things we face in our every day living.

So, who makes the money.

I know where they are coming from. There were times in my younger years that I didn't know how I was going to put tomorrows meal on the table. My wife and I had twin boys who needed a few special items for school and of course new shoes and clothes, not to mention, food.

I had no education or skills and never earned the high dollars I heard others speak of. I often wondered what it would be like to give my family all they needed or wanted. However, I knew it would never happen.

At one point I found myself working three jobs trying to fill all the needs. I worked in an electrical retail store all week, tended bar in the evenings and pumped gas on the weekends.

I managed to supply most of what we needed but with no fluff or frills. But there was still one thing missing, me. Working all those hours was paying the bills but my boys were missing a father.

I would have given anything for the opportunities of today. I'm talking about the possibilities offered by use of this thing called the Internet. If we had an Internet back then I could have created an ongoing income and enjoyed a life at home with my family.

Well, the Internet is here now and it is here to stay so lets take advantage of it. Lets talk about creating some residual income. Residual income is something you do once and get paid for doing for years, possibly forever.

When the Internet first came into being I wondered how someone might be able to benefit from it financially. How could it be used to provide a monetary assistance to everyone. I studied it for several years before I figured out how to make it pay.

What I found was that you cannot expect a get rich quick thing. The Internet has the power to make anyone with patience rich. Once you learn a few little tricks and how to implement them you can begin to change your lifestyle.

Some people say to make money online you need a large list of potential prospects. Others say you need a fabulous looking website. While others say to blog your way to wealth. All of these people are right, but they are also wrong.

You can make money with any one of them but I say you need a website and then work the others into it. Build a website, make a blog and then create a prospect list. But the most important thing is traffic.

Without traffic you have nothing. Without traffic no one will ever see what you have created. If you have built a site to sell a product no one will ever know it. So traffic is a prime target.

Remember, lets talk about money.

In my next post I will put some reality to building and maintaining your new site and discuss blogging for profit plus a few other interesting things.

Come back and see me next time and remember, some of the information can be found on my website: http://www.internetmoneyinfo-noscams.com/
While you are looking around check out my other site: http://travelwestvacation.com/ They are both free sites.

Well, the cost of gas has gone down. At least for a while. No one knows how long it will stay down but we can enjoy it while we have it. It helps our economy a little but it is not the great fix we need.

We still need help to pay the bills and put the food on the table. Our mortgage still needs to be paid plus upcoming property taxes need to be paid. In other words, we still need to find a way to generate an ongoing income stream.

We still need to supplement our own existence and build for a retirement. That we can do on the Internet. There is a lot of money to be made online and the only thing stopping us from earning it is our own limitations.

Our own ability to learn and understand what is offered is the only thing that stands in our way.

We need to learn from those who have done what we want to do, but we also need to know what is true and what is not. There are many money guru's out there today who want to take money and give nothing in return. These are the one's we need to watch out for.

Some of the scams are discussed in more detail on my website. http://www.InternetMoneyInfo-noscams.com

We also need to know how to build and maintain a website. Who to have for a web host and what domain name we should use. These are just a few of the things necessary for continued success.

Before you can build a website you need to have a subject in mind to build on. Your subject matter should be something which you know a little about and are somewhat passionate about.

A lot of information is available to you through internet articles. Other people write articles on a variety of subjects. The articles are totally free for you to use in creating your website. The only stipualtion is that you use the article in whole and as written. Do not alter the article. You must also include the resource box of the author.

This allows you the content you need and it also provides vital information for the author. It is kind of like you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. It is a win win situation.

Go ahead, check out a few websites and get sstarted on yours.

See ya next week.

Lets talk About Money, Plain and Simple
Almost everyone today has a deep concern when it comes to their money and finances. I don't blame them either, the economy has kind of been in the toilet lately. I thought for a while the whole system would be flushed.
Everyone worries about how to pay their taxes, how to pay the mortgage, how to keep food on the table. And all these worries are real.
Our big problem is that no one is going to be giving us a 700 billion dollar bailout. It seem that no one cares if we sink or swim. Well, let me tell you, I don't even know how to swim.
That means if I don't take care of ME I will be the one who sinks. The same goes for you. Do you want to sink or are you ready to start swimming? Are you ready to take the bull by the horn and lead him in the direction you want to go?
We know from the past that George Bush hasn't been much help to our finances and President Elect Obama has a hell of a lot to do before he can even think about most of us So that means we need to find money on our own.
A lot of people are saying they can't make money on the Internet without going into debt first. Well, that is just not true. There are ways to build a cash flow without loosing your shirt.
Of course, building and promoting a web site can generate cashflow. However, there is some expense involved with web sites. Web sites also take time. My first web site took 17 months to generate the first $100. After that things started to move a little faster. The second $100. only took 4 months.
The expense involved was more than that for domain name and hosting for a year. But those times are in the past now and I don't look back. In those early days I often thought of quitting but I'm glad I didn't.
The rewards are just too great.
There is also money to be made in writing free articles. Free articles are articles written by you and submitted to a free article directory. Your article is then up for grabs by anyone looking for good quality articles to include in their site or document.
When someone wants to use your article they must include your resource box and use the article intact. No changes are allowed. In your resource box you include a link to your website or blog site. Anyone who reads your article will see your site address and have the opportunity of visiting for more information.
They are now searching your web site and may purchase whatever you have to offer. The article has lead to a possible sale and cashflow.
There are hundreds of free article submission sites and the more you submit your article to the more people will see your information. It is monotonous and time consuming to submit to many but it is well worth the effort. Soon you will see thousands of visitors to your site.
It is possible to make money online by becoming an affiliate to someone else. As an affiliate you promote a product of another person and receive a commission for your work. Sometimes the commission is not a lot but at other times the commission may be 50, 60, or even 70% of the value of the product.
The other person actually does all the work and you just send him referrals. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. I am affiliated with a large number of online businesses as well as some brick and mortar stores like Circuit City and Target.
Another way of creating cashflow is the use of the BLOG. Most people use a blog as a diary or journal. People are finding that the blog can be a cash cow if used right. The blog can be used to promote a product or a web site or any number of things. You can sell from the blog or refer from it to any other place.
There is a lot more information on my web site and you are welcome to take a look around and use any or all of the information there. There is no charge and tons of information. Check it out for yourself.

Of course, you can always look right here for new tricks and a few tips. I hate to be ripped off and I hate to see anyone else get ripped off so you will see some scam info here too.
See you next week.
