Have you ever been able to get something for nothing? Some might say, “Yes, I’ve gotten gifts from people and that was something for nothing.” Others might say, “I found ten bucks one time, and that was something for nothing.” Another example that might come to mind is when a person steals something. It could be argued that they got something for nothing. I want you to really think about this for a moment. Do you really ever get something for nothing?
I think it’s probably a matter of perspective. If you look at a single moment in time, it might seem like it’s possible to get something for nothing. But, if you look at it from the perspective of your life, and what you bring real value to your life, I think it doesn’t take a lot of thought to realize that we never really get anything of value for anything.
Do you still have some doubts? Let me add this: sometimes the price we pay is before we receive something, and sometimes the price is after.
The reason I’m writing this is because I’m often amazed at the endless amount of headlines that promise something for nothing. I guess what surprises me about these headlines is that they wouldn’t be as prevalent if they weren’t successful. I guess I shouldn’t be so surprised; The truth is, I’ve spent most of my life looking for some kind of magic pill.
I guess that’s why article marketing has so much appeal to me now. I hope I’ve finally given up on the magic pill idea. I am more interested in what I can grow and develop. I see article marketing as the type of business opportunity that I can use to not only build and grow my business, but myself as well.
