We're in business. I'm making the official announcement here on our blog. In an effort to generate an income, we have invested time and effort into a new venture. Online marketing.
What is it?
Well, essentially it's promoting products on our website (HQ4DEALS) and our blog (supershopper10.blogspot.com) for companies, and getting paid when someone visits them, or purchases something.
How can you help us?
The enormous task is getting exposure. And visitors. If you can visit our website at HQ4DEALS and click on our ads to sign up for any offers that interest you, or that are free, or purchase anything that you already use, that would put money in our pocket.
Benefits to you
We are screening our offers so that we only put up deal makers, or BOGOS, or free stuff. We're not putting up offers for free gift cards that require you to buy other stuff in order to qualify.
For instance, there is an offer on the Sunglasses page where you can buy designer sunglasses through an auction for big savings. On the Family page there is an offer to sign up for freebie newsletters and coupons, etc. that I think Rachel and Erin and Natalie and any other young Moms could use. The sign up is free. There's also a cute baby contest that you can enter to win $2,500. They hold it monthly, and heaven knows we have some very cute babies!
If you don't want stuff sent to your main email account, maybe you could do what we did, and set up a freebie account for those kinds of email offers. (We now have 5 email accounts--2 personal, and 2 for offers, and 1 business account. Getting email accounts is easy and free, you know.)
Each of our pages has offers that are cost-cutters. I ordered printer cartridges myself from the company on the Office Supply page. It saved us time and money. Not only were they discounted, but I didn't have to drive to Billings to buy them!
About Risk-free Trials
Risk-free trials are just another marketing strategy. Not unlike coupons. Thousands of dollars of product coupons are given out and we all know how to maximize coupon use. And we are smart coupon shoppers. The same is true for companies offering risk-free trials. They offer us an opportunity to try their product and the only risk is theirs--that they are giving away their products and will not make a customer out of us.
The only caution I might add is this. When you try a risk free trial, be sure you know the last free date of the trial. If you're going to cancel, keep the info so you can spare yourself unwanted charges. It's a trial...so the company is allowing you to try their product and cancel. There's no harm in canceling if you aren't sold on it or their program. I have every intention of trying the teeth whitening product at our website....and we'll see if it is something I want to continue or not, after we try it.
Benefits to us
So, that about covers it. Neither of us wants to take advantage of you, our family and friends, by asking you to buy or sign up for anything you don't want or can't use. Quite the opposite. We are trying, specifically, to find great deals, money-saving offers, freebies, and discounts that will help us all. It's a business we can get behind and feel good about.
So, here's the pitch: Go visit our website. Visit our blog. While you're there take a moment and click on our ads. Sign up for all the free stuff you can and anything else you like. Send your friends to our website to help us spread the word. And.....wish us luck.
