How to Get Thousands Of Dollars Worth Of Services And Tools At No Cost

...by Making The Most Of Free Trials!

by Stuart Reid

In world of Internet Marketing many of top opportunities offer free trials to their programs. They are normally for a months duration, but sometimes you'll get a 14-Day or even 10-Day trial. Trials, by necessity, only occur with subscription-based programs.

Note: You'll also find "Low-Cost" trials, but since they are usually around $1 they are treated as free for purpose of this article.

These trials are a win/win deal for both program owner and targeted prospect.

The operator will gain new signups into his system, and many of these will stay to become full paying members. Whether this is because they actually chose to, or they forget to cancel, is debatable; but end result is same. Sometimes it is an ideal way to boost a flagging system - and that is why you find many `older` opportunities suddenly offering free signups.

The benefits for prospective enrollee are even better. They get a taste of program and are able to see what is involved first hand, and whether it is compatible with their existing endeavors. They will also, in most cases, get a range of gifts and services that they can keep whether or not they remain a full paying member. Lastly, they'll discover whether opportunity lives up to it's promises - something that often happens to late with "regular" deals!

The other reason to join any trial you see is that it gives you time to promote program in order to gain enough referrals to make it self-funding - before you yourself have to pay! This is, in my opinion, BEST reason to join.

Many people are understandably scared that they will not be able to cancel subscription in time or they will be scammed in some way.

These fears are usually unfounded as nearly all trials use third party payment processors, and you can cancel payment directly.

Unilevel A unilevel plan is one of easiest compensation plans to understand. When you introduce a new affiliate to program, they become your direct referral, or sub-affiliate. There is no limit to number of sub-affiliates you can have. In addition to commission you earn on your personal sales, some programs will pay you a (usually smaller) commission on sales of your direct referrals, often called a second-level or second-tier commission. If your direct referrals also introduce new affiliates to program and you earn a commission on their sales, a third-tier commission is being paid. Theoretically, there is no limit to number of levels a compensation program could pay you on, but in practice most online affiliate programs only pay a commission on one or two tiers. This is largely to separate affiliate programs from often-maligned multi-level marketing.

Forced Matrix One of biggest problems with unilevel plans is that anyone who becomes successful recruiting direct referrals will quickly have too many to communicate with regularly. Since regular interaction with your upline is a key to success for many affiliates, some program managers choose to implement a forced matrix program. In a forced matrix plan there is a set number of direct referrals you may have. If you continue to recruit new affiliates after you have reached that limit, they will "spillover" to become sub-affiliates of your direct referrals. Since you are restricted in how many direct referrals you may have, forced matrix programs generally pay on more tiers than unilevel plans.
