Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

Hello everyone!  I finally decided to join today.  I have been browsing this site for quite some time now for ideas and information.  I am currently not what you would call an owner of a small business, but I have always had that entrepreneural spirit. 

 

I recently joined an online opportunity called Freebie Force.  I don`t know if any of you have heard of it, they have just started running infomercials on TV.  I joined under my cousin and it appears to be a "no-brainer" to me, but we`ll see how it works out.  I just hope it can generate some income to help me pursue other business interests. 

 

My future business interests would be something delivery related or internet related.  I love fantasy sports and would really like to find a way to make money with that...other than from my winnings :)!!  

 

Any feedback/ideas are appreciated!!  Thanks for all the great posts to this site!!  Have a good day!!

Thank you for the question Rich.  Yes, it costs me $9.95 a month.  The reason I consider it a "no-brainer" is because it`s cheap in relation to what I receive.  I feel that having my own website is worth the money to me.  Also, the amount of free stuff available far exceeds the cost per month.  For instance, I received a bluetooth headset the other day.  What`s that worth?  $40?  Freebie Force says that if you would have took advantage of all the free items posted last year, the total value of the items would have exceeded $30,000.  Whether that is true or not..I really don`t know.  I do know that they have an updated list of free stuff posted daily and I could see the dollar value really getting up there.

My plans are to accumulate a bunch of this free stuff and then give it away.  When they ask me where I got it, I`ll tell them.  I am not very good at selling, but giving stuff away would be easy.

 

I understand that the company is making money.  That is fine with me...that`s what it`s all about.  But the people who are working this are getting paid.  I plan on trying this for about 6 months or so and if it doesn`t work out, I`m only out 60 bucks.  Thanks again!!
