Something for Nothing

Why is it that people believe that they are going to get huge results without putting in any time and effort? I don't care what activity you are involved with whether it be cash gifting or selling cosmetics, some folks just think they have to join something, throw up a website and they are done.

To most of us involved in marketing online, this is a rediculous concept. I don't know where some of these people come from, but I would like to know on what planet all you have to do is get involved in some activity at the entry level and within a week you are at the top. Common sense once again shows us how uncommon it really is.

Cash gifting awareness

Cash Gifting Dreams

Unless you live under a rock, you've probably heard of Cash Gifting and the many different programs that are promoting this activity. Love it or hate it, cash gifting and cash gifting opportunities are probably going to be around for quite some time. I have thought about this activity for some time now, performed exhaustive research on programs and I have come to a few conclusions.

Adults Only Please

One of the biggest complaints or problems that I have noticed is that cash gifting is an illegal activity. This is not entirely true. Cash gifting is legal. The problem is the way the different programs are marketed. Cash gifting is a voluntary "activity" not an "income opportunity." This is where a lot of folks are just getting it wrong and it's understandable about how this is occurring. While most programs explain that this is an activity and not a business, they go right ahead and give testimonials or some other "positive" selling points and tactics like any other get-rich-quick scams that have always floated around the Internet. While this approach works short term, in the long run it doesn't pan out for most.

Now, while I would agree that the aggressive marketing techniques that some programs employ shouldn't be allowed, I also think that if you are over the age of 18 and are generally/legally considered an adult then you shouldn't whine when you attempt to spend your way to fantasy land. Come on folks, do we really need another law out there protecting those that just really aren't into research? Do we really need some government poster boy telling you that you can not participate in a program that you enter into with your eyes wide open? Why do we need to continue to "protect" people from themselves?

Can cash gifting work?

Can it work? Of course it can. Geez, look at all of the websites, videos, blogs and articles promoting such. You don't do that with the pet rock. However, if you are going to join one of these programs, you must realize that just because you participate in gifting to someone it doesn't mean that you are going to automatically receive gifts in the future. This activity, while not an income/business opportunity, should be promoted like one. I say this in terms of any type of Internet marketing process. If you have a product, service or are just promoting information, you must employ the same successful marketing techniques that you would if you were selling widgets.

Internet marketing is not learned overnight, although it can be learned. To shorten that process, many promoters of cash gifting are showing people exactly how to start a website, or use a ready made site, and how to market that site. This information alone is worth a lot of money. Once you master some of the basic techniques, this information can be used in other money making opportunities...and how much could that be worth?

In conclusion...

Is cash gifting an opportunity? Yes, but not to be considered an income making opportunity. With that said, I believe in reaping what you sow. I believe in karma and the law of attraction. I believe in cash gifting activities as long as they are done properly. My best advice is to investigate. Do your own due diligence. After all, you could turn your mailbox into a money magnet!
