Times must be bad indeed. I wrote in a recent post about my free giveaway: two copies of my ebook, Learn to Play the Piano in 12 Lessons. All you have to do is click on the Contact Me Link just below my blog header, fill in your name and email (I respect your privacy, email addresses will not be sold or handed out), and just tell me why you’d like to get a free copy of my ebook. That’s all there is to it. I’m still waiting for entries to come in *fingers drumming away on the table*.
Perhaps the word free has been abused too much. I’ve come across software on the web begging readers to download “for free,” only to notice in the small print that it times out after X number of days. Then there are magazine subscriptions where yes, you can get X months or X copies free. You’d have to start paying after that, though. And a lot of local supermarkets here still advertise about buying certain products and receiving a “free gift.” Guys, a gift is already free.
However, I don’t mind doing a little work if the rewards look tempting enough. I participated in a contest organized recently by a petrol (gas) station chain here where they dangled prizes like LCD TVs, etc. for participants. All we had to do was fill in an entry form with our details, and pump some petrol (gas) for our cars. I have to feed my car anyway. Hopefully I’ll win a prize.
So, get cracking if you want to stand a chance of winning a free copy of my ebook. As I’ve said in the first paragraph of this post, you don’t have to do much. But you do have to enter.
