Have you noticed how successful companies can be in getting you to make a purchase after being tempted by free stuff online? After all, one of the motivations for a company to offer freebies stuff for you is to lead you to spend money somewhere else. 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.
The offers for free money making kits are likely to follow up with additional services and products. The free recipe toolbar will discretely present ads on your computer for advertised items for sale. Obviously this approach must work since so many companies offer free goodies.
Another example would be where you can get free insurance quotes online. It can be a good way to get legitimate insurance pricing in a hurry, as they usually involve major insurance companies.
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. If you want to convert files to pdf format, you can purchase Adobe Acrobat, one of the most popular programs for this purpose. That will cost you.
However the Reader package by Adobe is free, and allows you do save, send and read pdf files; you can’t write them or change them. There are a lot more examples where offers of free stuff lead to purchases.
