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.
