The Power of Free
As a web surfer, surely you’ve seen tons and tons of spam posts about free gadgets. You may have even tried one or two of the gimmicks only to find out that it either wasn’t free or that it required that you give them your right arm in return for a free* music player.
Since I became an Internet Marketer, I have realized the power of the word “free” in advertisements but even more so, I have seen the power of “free” when used to promote websites. As a blogger, I am constantly amazed at the innovative things that other bloggers to do get buzz for their website. One of my favorite daily reads is Darin’s blog. Right now he’s giving away a free iPhone to one of his lucky blog readers in order to promote his new search marketing company called Innovative SEM.
Since reading Darin’s blog, I’ve learned a lot of tips that I will use in my blogging career and hope that my readers will also benefit. I’m sure that his new company will be a success because Darin seems to know what he’s doing. Good luck to you, Darin!

I’d love to give away free items too, but as a startup blogger, its tough to be able to get those things to give out! Perhaps we can exchange links and give each other a hand out there!
