    Nothing is FREE

    What they mean is, No upfront money.

    You will pay in other ways.

      I believe free online resources are no different than paid resources from the standpoint that you need to pick and choose carefully what you use.

      For many IM "chores" there are both free and paid resources, tools, strategies and blueprints. The fact that they are free or paid does not make them necessarily good or bad.

      I do believe that you generally "get what you pay for" but that does not always hold true. The key to picking your own set of tools is to test and try things and keep those that work for you.

    Those free things that are floating around in the web are just meant to get traffic and lure customers. In other words, it's just a another form of marketing that owners or developers are trying to exploit for a certain product or service.

    Whether free or not, the responsibility is yours when you want to try them.

    "Free" ; "Cheap"; "Affordable" blah blah .... are actually the keywords for marketing and we fall for it. Therefore, when we even search for a flight we do search cheap flight ticket.



    That is the way now a days.

    Well if you look at this forum, which is free, there are so many good posts and threads on here that will teach you for free how to make a full time income online. So while it will take you time to read it and take action on it, some killer content on here is free. People though, who always look for free stuff, freebie seekers, will never really make any money online though, it's their mindset. They are stuck in the mental thought process that they want free stuff, and therefore there online business will more than likely get results that won't make them any money.

    There is no such thing as a free lunch...right?

      Free things are great but be warned! nothing is free. in other words, free things are like a seed. the sower plants a seed and awaits harvest. when you receive a free stuff, you are expected to give back. maybe am wrong!.

    Of the things you mentioned, I would only take the squeeze page. Much better to have your own website, paid hosting, and a paid autoresponder.

    But for the question generally, I'd say there are plenty of great resources for free, but you have to pick and choose. It should never be your main criteria when looking for business tools.

    The question reminds me of Ralph Wiggam (police chief Wiggam's son on The Simpsons), trying to connect with his crush, Lisa Simpson. His attempt to connect was by asking her, "So, do you like....stuff"?
