I totally agree with you on The Death of FREE...Especially free consultation, seminar or meeting. Those just scream sales pitch nowadays. And I'm glad to know I'm not the only one turned off by that kind of thing. Though, when it comes to sites like copygod.com, I wonder if it's a male - female thing??? Maybe someone else can shed a bit of light on the subject (any guys out there reading who want to share their opinion, please do post a comment)... Stacy Hi Judy,
Good to hear from you! I totally agree with you on The Death of FREE…Especially free consultation, seminar or meeting. Those just scream sales pitch nowadays.

And I’m glad to know I’m not the only one turned off by that kind of thing. Though, when it comes to sites like copygod.com, I wonder if it’s a male – female thing???

Maybe someone else can shed a bit of light on the subject (any guys out there reading who want to share their opinion, please do post a comment)…

Quite a while back, I blogged about "The Death of FREE," only from the perspective that so many direct mail and online marketers have abuse the term that when we legitimate businesses com along, it's even harder to build trust and credibility. I didn't go in specifically to look at copygod, but with that name, I am already completely turned off. They make it harder for the rest of us, but, on the other hand, when people come to realize that we are different, they tend to stick around. Thanks for reminding us all how important relationship building is to successful marketing. I hear you, Stacy.
