Seems that my free trial to their online publication has come to an end. And lucky me, they have a discount going on right now.... imagine that!!!
I kindly explain to the gentleman that I get so many free trade rags and free access to so much free online data, that I just couldn't justify paying a fee for something I would not have time to read. Doesn't he know that I have a million blogs to read on ActiveRain? LOL
He kept trying. Letting me know how specialized it was to my industry and localized just for me..... yada yada yada. Still no sale I said. I can't read everything. And they should charge their advertisers more and offer it for free.....
I am seeing a trend these days for free, free, free..... With their revenue dollars being generated by advertisements. I cannot justify paying for an online magazine with stuffy articles about banking. I just didnt see them making me any money. I could only see them keeping me from making money doing other things.
I cannot even count the number of free publications I get. How about you? Do you subscribe to any worthwhile services that provide info you can't get anywhere else?
I don't get thos calls John. But, I'm usually pretty to click off telemarketers.
