About Us

First A few words about free

The internet and human interaction within it, has evolved when it comes to business. Sure there is still dishonesty so we are ever vigilant (read suspicious) and more cautious than we are in the physical world. But what has really changed is the return of the true concept of marketing. With no boundaries, endless competition, and a completely even playing field, what marketing tactics really work become apparent.  This plays into the consumer’s favor because there is so much available for free, to see hear and play with (in limited fashion). This helps the consumer find exactly what they need.

The irony is that the best source of valuable free content is found on very successful commercial websites. These sites are designed to sell and they do it very well. The owners have literally spent thousands on proven sales copy writing in order to make you buy. Once you are on that site they are compelling you to read so they can cover all of your objections and convince you why you need their product or service. There is nothing wrong with that. Commerce makes the world go around, and this is doubly true on the internet. In the midst of all of this carefully calculated salesmanship, lies the valuable free offer. The free offer gives the seller the chance to showcase the quality of their product. It also affords an opportunity to gain the consumer’s trust which will help with closing the deal, down the road.

If you do go back and buy, then it is great for the seller and great for you. You have had a chance to sample the product, have hopefully compared it to other offers, and have found that it is what you need. If it fulfills your need and you purchase, you have obviously decided that the price is fair and you are receiving good value. In this scenario everybody wins.

The test drive

Aside from a few specialty buffs, nobody ever buys a car after reading some brochures and looking at it in the showroom. The test drive sells the car. The experience, the feeling, the ownership of it for a brief time, closes the deal. I think when you buy a house you should be allowed to stay overnight, maybe throw a cocktail party. How else are you going to know if you really want to live there? That would be a real test drive.

The beauty of internet marketing is in the test drive. Virtual products can be test driven for a limited time after which they need to be purchased.  Partial chapters of information, reduced quality graphics, limited functionality. It’s an electronic puppy dog close. You take it home and pretty soon you don’t want to live without it.

Wouldn’t it be great if life were like this…(I know the credit card company stole my thunder on this but I swear, I thought of this a year ago). Picture this: You are standing in the store looking at this incredible 50 inch plasma TV, and gazillion watt home theatre system. You want it, but the mortgage payment is already spoken for. They work out a nice payment plan that you can handle, but that price tag is standing between the TV and your living room. If that sucker was on your wall for 3 days (preferably on a weekend during the playoffs) and they worked out your payment plan while standing in your living room and preparing to uninstall the TV from your wall, you might feel differently about the price tag. I know I would.

That is why I LOVE THE INTERNET. If you are going to spend your money you can try out so much for free and find what you really want.

Our Members Download Page

If you have not already taken the opportunity to check out our sample downloads you can click here. The free offers listed there often involve sign ups. You should always use a secondary free email account like hotmail for giving out your email to sites you do not know.

We test all of our listings and verify the free offers and email conduct (unsubscribe) of our advertisers. If the free offers are misleading or just a ½ page report buried in 3 pages of sales copy, we won’t list them. We are only interested in quality free offers that we would consider valuable, and would use ourselves. Please report spam or any other abuse to your service provider immediately.

My World For Free launches this summer

This summer we launch our full free directory site. We will list several categories and will have hundreds of free quality downloads, trials and offers. We will have free advertising for basic postings in our free directory (only free offers, and only once verified by MWFF). You can advertise your free offers with us and our only requirement is a reciprocal link with our site. We will also feature new product launches (when free offers are included) with advertising support in our blog and newsletters. Anything valuable and free for our members is welcome on our site.

We will be sending out a biweekly newsletter which will keep our members up to date on free news, free trends, and new free trials not yet posted on our site. We will include links to surveys so we can serve you better. What would you like the most, for free?

In development and coming soon…

Free photo gallery

Free photos

I am constantly searching for interesting photos for use as screen savers, as illustrations for writing projects and even for the kid’s homework assignments. You can do a Google image search but you often aren’t getting the picture you want in the resolution you need. I hate when you find the perfect picture in the thumbnail on the search page and find that it is only a postage stamp sized jpeg when viewed “full size”. I started thinking that maybe I could rectify that in some small way. I would like to start a gallery of subscribers interesting photos to post. We could select our 5 - 10 favorites each month and let you vote on the best. They would be displayed in our “hall of fame” for the next month. Interesting or humorous tag lines are welcome.

I am taking a trip at the end of June to my native province of British Columbia, amid one of the most spectacular mountain ranges in the world. I intend to fill several memory sticks on my trusty Sony digital camera and create a travel blog for my readers at Mike’s World For Free. One of the outings I have planned is a 3 day road trip along the Icefields Parkway, which is an amazing scenic highway that runs from Banff National Park, through Lake Louise, north to Jasper National Park. Check out this link http://www.icefieldsparkway.ca for more information on what they call “the world’s most spectacular journey”.

To send us photos please attach with a description and send them to photoblog@myworldforfree.com . If you wish to include a link to your site or galleries please do so. We will check out all links for suitability (no adult, offensive or illegal content) and only require a reciprocal link in return. We are always interested in both providing and receiving free advertising, and linking to increase traffic. If it’s good for us, it’s good for you!

Thank you,

Mike
