Make Money Online Giving Away Free Stuff

Believe it or not you can make money on the Internet giving things away. It is human nature for people to want to get something for nothing. This is why you see so many people trying to win things such as $! Million Dollars buying lottery tickets or playing a McDonald's scratch game.

When it comes to making money online you can give away free stuff and turn them into an Internet income. Here are three ways you can do that.

1. Build your mailing list. Doing email marketing is a proven way to make money once you have a responsive list.

This is why you see so many Internet marketers giving away free ebooks, free reports, and access to free webinars. The trade off is the website visitor must give that Internet marketer their name and email address to receive access to the freebie they are offering.

Once you have a mailing list you can send offers out to it and sell products that earn you a commission. Affiliate marketing is a good place to get products that you can make money selling.

2. Take a free tour. This is a common tactic used in network marketing opportunities. You also see it in membership sites.

Let the prospect test the opportunity out for free for a certain period of time. In some opportunities they might charge $1 for one week and then if the prospect doesn't cancel they are billed full price on a regular basis.

The idea is that if the opportunity is worthwhile letting them check it out before they have to pay is a good way to enroll new members. In network marketing you make more money when you build a large downline.

Once you have the few personal individual members enrolled, and they are working on building their own group, you can make a lot of money. Everyone uses the same strategy of giving away a free tour.

3. CPA Offers. This could be something as simple as having a website visitor provide their name and email address. There are actually cost per action offers that only require an email address for you to get paid.

You are not selling anything, but rather you are promoting a specific offer. Most affiliate companies that do this type of affiliate marketing have excellent landing pages that you can promote.

There is no cost to the website visitor and you earn money once they complete the specific action. You just spend your time marketing the landing page.

As you can see there are ways to make money online giving away free stuff. This is a proven strategy for doing Internet marketing that any one willing to work at can make money.
