OK, so we?ve all seen them; banner ads, emails, messages on forums claiming to help you get free stuff.
Some offer free ipods, others offer a free playstation3, and some even offer free gas.
Most people think they are scams; spam designed to steal your information or get you to buy something.
But when you look at certain sites, they have pictures and testimonials of people who have actually received their free products.
You may even know someone who has.
Maybe it was a college friend or someone at work.
If people are actually receiving these products, then it isn?t a scam.
But how exactly does it work?
How can these companies give away these products for free?
It?s actually very simple.
It?s called CPA or Cost Per Acquisition.
The advertisers on these websites pay for the acquisition of new clients.
Every time you complete an offer the advertisers pay a finders fee to the website for bringing them a new client.
Because the cost of marketing can be so expensive, these advertisers gladly pay for the cost of the free products in exchange for new clients. What kind of offers do you have to participate in and what kind of companies advertise on these sites?
You might have heard of a few of them.
Companies like American Express, Blockbuster, Netflix, Columbia House, and Direct TV to name a few.
Legitimate companies like these would never participate in online scams or allow their company images to be tarnished by less than kosher online activities.
So how exactly do you get your free products?
Let?s take a look at www.freeradardetectors.com that offers a free radar detector.
There are three simple and easy steps to follow and once you?re done, they send a complementary radar detector to your door.
1. The first step is to sign up for the program.
2. The second step is to complete an offer from their advertisers.
3. The last easy step is to refer your friends to the site and have them sign up too.
Once you and your friends have completed your offers from the advertisers, you get your free radar detector.
And so will each one of your friends when they refer the offer to their friends. The best part is that the offers you participate in are ones you would probably do anyway.
Such as signing up for Netflix or Blockbuster Online DVD rental service, maybe getting a new credit card, or even signing up for DirecTV Satellite service.
The only difference is that now you get credit for it and get free stuff in the process.
So go out and grab the free stuff while it lasts.

Can I Fix My Bad Credit Alone?
Can I Fix My Bad Credit Alone?
by: Magalie Noel Dresse
Certainly, you can! But let me ask you this: why fix it alone when you can have help?
While I?m not saying that it?s better to fix bad credit with the help of an expert, there are some indisputable advantages when you hire a professional credit repair company to take over your credit problems. If you don?t have the time for it, naturally it?s better to turn over everything to a professional credit repair company. If you don?t think you have enough experience dealing with the finance people ? haggling, negotiating, disputing and so on ? then once again, maybe it?s time to call for 911. There are just so many things you have to do when you?re fixing bad credit that really, when you compare what you?d have to go through with the amount the credit repair company is going to charge you, it seems like you?re paying a small price indeed.
But if you?re determined to try it out alone first then...

by: Robert Short
1. End your ad copy by telling people what will happen if they buy your product. Use your most powerful benefit as the example.
2. End your ad copy by telling people what will happen if they don't buy your product. Use a problem that they won't be able to solve without it.
3. End your ad copy with a series of questions they will always say yes to. They then will be used to saying yes when you ask them to order.
4. End your ad copy with a short review of your whole ad. Repeat all the major benefits and features they will receive.

Home Equity Loan ? Home Theater Adds Fun and Value
Home Equity Loan ? Home Theater Adds Fun and Value
by: Charlie Essmeier
In days gone by, the family typically spent their evenings watching television in the den or living room, crowded around a black and white television set that may have measured no more than nineteen inches in diagonal size. For decades, this scenario was pretty much the same in most American homes, with the only change being the replacement of black and white televisions with color models. This worked fine for many years, when most cities only had two or three stations, and most homes didn?t have cable television. With the introduction of high definition television (HDTV), DVD movies, high performance surround sound systems, and affordable video projectors and flat-screen plasma displays, many homeowners would like to have a dedicated room, or home theater, for audio-video use. In today?s housing climate, adding a home theater to your home is a smart move.
Few homes have a...

Five Ways to Improve Your Marketing Material with Fewer Words
by: Jeremy Cohen
You can sell more by writing less.
If you are like many small business owners you may
unwittingly suffer from ?too many words? syndrome.
It
occurs when your marketing material features extra words
that don?t contribute to creating new business.
When your marketing material is too wordy you blur the
clarity of your marketing message.
The less clearly your
prospects understand how you can help them the less likely
they are to buy from you.
You want your marketing message
to come through without interference.
Too many words syndrome can rear its ugly head in just about
any copy.
It?s been known to lurk in web sites, brochures,
direct mail and newspaper ads, to name just a few places
it?s been found.

Write Right
by: Brian Grinonneau
The rich and colorful descriptors flowing from your deft digits on a seasoned keyboard will tantalize and transform your rapt audience. What?! That line may be too flowery but does show how important it is to write advertising copy that demands to be noticed.
There are two considerations in creating compelling copy. You don't have much time to get noticed and the words have to be exactly right. You get one chance. Be clear and creative. And get to the point.
List your benefit early in the copy. Don't make your prospect guess. If you're selling fuel sipping automobiles, say so--in the beginning.
Tell prospects what they need to know--The who, what, where,why and when of your offering.
Economize your words. Go through copy and eliminate that not needed. You can say a lot with few words. Think Nike and 'just do it". Too many descriptors cloud your theme and confuse the message.
Write like...

The Catalog Production
by: Maricon Williams
After the completion of the planning process, catalog production starts. These are the steps when producing a catalog:
First is the gathering of data. Before any design to exist you must first gather a complete list of all the products you will include in the catalog, as well as all non-product copy. If some items will be grouped together as one catalog photo block such as a shirt that comes in 4 sizes and 6 colors, check to ensure that it is clear for the designer. Sort further the list into categories or spreads.
Second, write the product copy. Although most every company can pull a list of products, item numbers and prices from their computer system, virtually no company maintains proper product name and descriptive copy. Product names used in inventory software typically have names like "IVY T-SHIRT RED MEDIUM." In your catalog that same product would instead be called "Ivy T-shirt", available...
