Do you treasure gifts others give you? Robert Plank says you aren't going to enjoy a car given to you in the same way you would one that was paid for by you. We were given two cars, purchased new and used cars and have been grateful to God no matter how it arrived.

Yeah I often find it useful to risk large sums of money, because it produces an almost frantic drive to make whatever a success, to recoup the money.

Well, call me cheap then. I can understand buying when somebody has a reputation already and it is clear that their product will provide value. But I am not going to go around spending money on every product just to see if its worth promoting or not.

Samples or free demos are part of every business I have worked in offline. You can’t ask a distributor to buy your product first if he wants to sell it. Why is internet marketing different?

Sure, there are people who make a habit of seeking freebies and then not producing much in return, but you can quickly figure out who those people are. But I don’t think that’s what you are talking about here.

Hmm, interesting post.

I’ve heard the phrase “if you can’t your friends/family to buy your product, why would anyone else?” and that seems to fit here as well. I do feel, however, that the correct way to get “affiliate review copies” is to NOT ask for them! If the product originator wants to give review copies of their work, they probably will–it’s your job as an affiliate (and your right) to make it known that you want one, but not to be pushy.

A simple, “hey, I’d be interested in reviewing your product if you’d like a testimonial,” will show a benefit to both parties.
