So how many times have you seen someone offer you a
free trial of something or other, but to get started
you need to provide a credit card number, or use your
PayPal account to sign up.
A lot of services or products even ask that you pay
ONLY $1 to start any sort of trial and act as if you
are getting an incredible value.
But what they are really doing is getting your credit
card number or PayPal account locked into their auto
re-billing feature and hiding behind their real motive
simply by telling you that it is for your convenience.
It is a well known fact that many people who offer
products or services are making more money due simply
to people forgetting to cancel these auto re-bills.
Now I'm not in any way speaking for all marketers.
Many do in fact provide great value and are trying to
make things easier, but it is also an overly abused
marketing tactic to make the product or service owner
a lot of extra recurring income.
You see a lot of unethical marketers know that most
of the time you will forget about the trial and a few
months later you will finally notice that you have been
charged XX dollars every month. Guess who makes a pile
of money that way. That's not cool man.
So it is something to watch out for when signing up
to any free trials of anything.
On a total flip side, here's an example of a guy who
has an insanely good free trial offer, but you don't
have to give your credit card or PayPal account up
front. It's just a free trial, because he believe it
works and is not hiding behind anything!
Go Here For Your Trial
It's a no obligations 90 Day Free Trial of what's
called the Smart Subscriber marketing system. His name
is Ian and he's been an online marketer for over a
decade and claims he will make you money through
affiliate commissions just to prove his service is
worth paying for!
With no credit cards or PayPal account stuff upfront,
I'd say that's a pretty rock solid and safe free trial.

How Improving Content Can Make Your Web Site Popular
Marketing a web site or blog is important if you want it to be a
success. Content value is very important and knowing what you can do to
make it better is critical. With the amount of competition you will face
you need to know what to look at in terms of content. Here are some
pointers on getting good content in the pages you put together on your
site.

- Fit your content to your reader's needs. You will need a mechanism for feedback and doing surveys and interactive items like allowing comments can help.
- Write with a natural tone and format. Use humor and personal style when writing and talk to your readers, not over or around them. Sometimes telling a story is better than technical jargon but you must consider the audience and the topic being discussed.
- Keywords are not the whole story, but it's what the search engines look for in the flavor of an article. Know which ones reach the type of traffic you are seeking and do target them in your writing.
- Contextual cues such as color, font and space can make a difference. You should look at these cues and study to see what can make your site easier on the eyes. Ads that are adjacent to your writing should be looked at as well. Are the ads you are running distracting your readers from your message?
- Study images you place on pages to make sure they are relevant. Often these are eye catchers and you need them to support what you are trying to tell the reader. When you write paragraphs, think of the term 'front load'. Get the most important information out first in your paragraphs as people usually read what they see first. This also true for the document - hit your audience with the important bits of you message first. Less important information should follow this and even less important info (or a summary of the document) should come at the end.
- Lastly, have a 'call to action' for the reader to follow. What do you want you readers to do or how do you want them to respond? It can be as simple as clicking a link to writing a letter or email. Make it clear to the reader what you are requesting them to do.
