I’ve noticed that a lot of the free stuff offered online is successful in leading you to make a purchase. Of course getting you to buy is one of the reasons for offering freebies stuff so liberally. So the free chocolate samples are great, but the hope is that you’ll buy a couple pounds of peanut brittle after you taste it.
When you see a no-cost package to help you make money, assume there will be subsequent offers to sell other services later. The free recipe toolbar will discretely present ads on your computer for advertised items for sale. The companies would not do so much of this type of promotion if it did not pay off a good return.
Another example would be where you can get free insurance quotes online. These are legitimate companies that apparently have the ability to analyze your situation and give you a quote—sometimes from several competing companies—in a matter of minutes.
Computer software products are another category where some things are free. You can download certain software for free; that product usually has limited features. Then you are offered a better product at a modest fee. Purchase Acrobat by Adobe if you need to convert a variety of file types to pdf format. That software is not cheap.
But you can get Adobe Reader for free. You can read, save and send pdf files but cannot edit or create them. These are but a few examples of where it is worthwhile to realize that the free stuff is intended to lead to a purchase.
