How much is free really worth to the average person? It sounds like an odd question until you look at how the word free is used. We are saturated by free, inundated by free, overwhelmed by free. So much stuff is free that I wonder how the heck can anyone afford to stay in business and still give away so much for free? What about something totally free, delivered to your doorstep, ready to be used, consumed, worn, read, collected, whatever it is you do with it? What would that be worth? I think a little more of that would be a welcome respite from the endless barrage of commerce which blasts us with free offers.
Commerce makes the world go round and everyone has a useful product to sell. The problem is that everyone has to yell louder than everyone else to get noticed. That’s called advertising. Buried in all of that, there are free goodies to be claimed, but separating them from the products they are being used to help sell, is the hard part. Now I get to the point. What is it worth for someone to get all this free stuff that’s out there? If you want to dig it up for yourself you will spend hours searching and sifting through the false promises and free with the purchase of…offers. Who needs the frustration? Besides, isn’t your time more valuable than that?
I think that many people would pay a small fee for a monthly service that searched out genuine free items that were useful and valuable. It would be more than worth the time it saves, looking for all this stuff yourself. Well here is the really good news. We have waived the small fee and have decided to offer you all of this, wait for it…that’s right…Absolutely Free. aren’t you lucky? 
You can click on any of the links on our site and find a real freebie. You will not have to pay or be asked to pay but you might end up paying later. I test all of our links to ensure that you won’t be inundated with spam, have your name sold off to numerous marketers who will send you endless emails. That is not to say that the free offer site that you investigate won’t try to market to you. I would wonder if they didn’t. How else are you going to make money besides trying to sell to someone who has just visited your site. If what they have to offer is valuable to you, you might just pay later.
I have found out (much to my dismay) that the worst and most aggressive marketers are the ones trying to get you to “get rich quick”. I have been exploring many different methods to get the word out and advertise My World For Free. I have followed up on, signed up for, or subscribed to many sites that promise advertising to millions of opted in subscribers. All I get in return are vague promises and an exponential increase in the number beside my hotmail inbox every day. These additional emails are not “opted-in” by me and I would consider them unsolicited. I seem to spend more time “unsubscribing” to emails that I never subscribed to in the first place!
They will never earn my business. I do not need that kind of advertising because it goes against everything we are trying to promote. We want to provide a trusted site that will not send you anything you did not ask for. If all you want to do is look and consider then feel free. If you sign up for certain information then that is all you should receive. If you do not want further communication from a site, the unsubscribe should be easy, straight forward and honored immediately.
The free offers that I signed up for (that are listed on My World For Free) have never sent me an unsolicited email. I receive regular newsletters (really marketing emails but containing useful information ie - golf tips) but not spam email offers for products or services I have never heard of. If I did start receiving anything unsolicited I would contact the advertiser and advise them to stop and / or remove their listing from our site.
THE F WORD
There is a 4 letter word that starts with F, and the censors don’t want you to see it!
This is such a terrible word that email filters segregate your emails if it contains this word. Your mail may not get to the person you sent it to, and be lost in a file with all the spam, junk and bulk emails. It is a terrible thing, but it wasn’t always this way.
Not too long ago, people used to be on the lookout for this word. It was often sought out and great attention was paid to the mention of it. Everybody wanted to see it. What happened?
Free is not a dirty word, but you would think that it is. Now you have to fool the system by writing f*ree or f re e or even “for absolutely nothing” or your email will be considered spam. It is a shame, but it is the way the world works now. Aggressive marketing has spoiled it for those of us that really do have something free to offer.
What do I have to do to get my message out? Should I invent a new word? From now on “fgriisk” means free. Now I just need to wait 4 or 5 years for it to catch on. A campaign of letters to educators, journalists and authors might help in getting people using my new word. Submissions to dictionaries might help. Perhaps I just need celebrity endorsement.
In order to solve the problem now, I am going to have to work around the draconian ban on the lovely word “free”. I will have to subtly use synonymous words and phrases in my emails to gently nudge people towards my website. Once there I can abandon all restraint and good taste, and shout for the world to hear: FREE FREE FREE! That felt good.
