There's no such thing as FREE.
Making money.
Getting traffic.
Building your list.
etc. etc.
But the truth is - nothing is free.
Sure I might spend months creating some information that I give you for no cost, but you'll have to invest time to read it, absorb it, and act upon it in order to stand a chance of it making any difference to you.
You can decide to write articles about your niche in order to promote your business, and while you don't have to pay anyone else to make it happen, it still costs you your time and your attention.
Cost is not just about the money it takes to get something, it's also about the "lost opportunity" price.
The same reason why a well qualified doctor doesn't work in a supermarket - sure they could make money doing that, but it's actually costing them the money they could have been making by doing a higher value thing.
So when you say you want FREE methods, don't kid yourself that you're not paying a price for them.
As soon as you tell yourself that because you don't have much/any money and therefore you have to do low value tasks yourself you could be making a shackle for your business that will hold you down much more than you realise.
Here's an example to illustrate the point:
Scenario 1:
New person realises that IM is a vehicle for making money on top of their usual career.
They think "I don't have any money so I'll have to do everything myself for free", so they come to the forum and just ask "what free ways of making money are there?" and get the usual bunch of responses.
They decide to setup an affiliate blog and write articles to get traffic.
6 months later they've made $200 in affiliate commissions and are still struggling to work out how to make more.
Scenario 2:
New person realises IM can make them money on top of their usual career.
They think "I don't have any money so I will need raise some in order to pay for the things I'll need for my business.".
So they come to the forum and ask "I'm starting a new online business. I'm not completely decided on the best way yet but need to raise some startup money to pay for the tools and systems I know I'll need. Can anyone suggest some things I could do?".
The answers range from "offer writing services to warriors" to "look what is selling and create something valuable for people already buying" and "pick a niche, create a useful tool or product and give it away to build a list" and many more.
Person offers some writing services for money while they pick a niche they're passionate about and get a script/template/tool created that they then sell and create their operating revenue ready for their target business.
They come to the forum 6 months later to tell us how they're amazed that with most of their business on auto-pilot and systemised, just how quickly it's grown and made them more money than they expected.
The main difference - The mindset and the questions.
When you say yes to "I need to do it for free" you're saying no to "how do I make the money to pay for what I need?".
