One of the mindsets and principles among business leaders is that of consistent learning and self development. As in other areas in life, with Online Network Marketing training, it come in the free and paid versions.

Which Should You Choose?

I always suggest people pay as much as they feel comfortable with paying. For some that is the free and for other it up into the six and seven figures. So, which part of the pendulum do you fall?

When you are considering your options about free vs. paid training it will benefit you to know exactly what you should look for to compare. You want to make sure you're comparing apples and apples which is a chronic problem for beginners especially.

Is It Just About The Money?

I hope not. I have gotten some free training I wish was sold for lots of money so I could keep some of my competitors from finding it! Then theirs some people who sell training that is pure junk... and sometimes it's sold for lot of money.

So What Do You Compare?

You compare what your getting for what you are giving. In other words the value. Isn't that how you buy everything else? If you pay more you tend to get more but the important thing is that you get all of what you need and nothing less.

Most free products aren't more than intro-products to additional training you will have to pay for. Sometimes free training may be bonuses or additional support for a higher end product you already own.

You get what you pay for: you give a little attention I give you a little training but if you want the details, the stuff that's really going to give you the meat and potatoes... your going to have to pay something. You're probably not going to get any to give you hands on one on one attention you may need for free.

Like I tell my kids, "Nothing is free even if all you had to pay was attention."-- Malika Duke

The More Value The Trainer has To Create The Product is The Better It Will Be To You

The funny thing about information is that none of it is really new. It's not unique, its all just re-purposed stuff that is said a little differently from the next guy that helps people hear a message they now understand in a way that never clicked before.

But it took them time and effort to put it together for you. And they deserve to be paid for doing a good job and we should all be grateful that they created something we find benefit from.

So should you Chuck The Free Stuff?

Heck No! I have made thousands of dollars using the free stuff from some great trainers. But, it came at the investment of thousands of hours I could have been doing something else like sleeping! (shout out all my midnight oil burners). I also, started off paying for the foundational training right out the gates so I could get a good handle on more advanced techniques easily and apply it quickly.

I used the free training they offered but as soon as I can afford paid training I take it.

Why?

Because I am serious about building a staggering income with my online marketing. I learned so much from what I was willing to pay for and earned back my investments in spades. It became a 'no brainer' that the more I learned was the more I earned... the more I reinvested is the more I learned :-).

Using The Free Training To Make Money

If you can use the free training to make money that's a good indication the paid training will be explosive, and that's what you want right? Take notes and implement everything you learn for free. If it works take the money and reinvesting into more training as much as you can afford. With people like Eben Pagen encouraging his students to 'move the free line' (and leading by example) that could be thousands of dollars you can invest in more great training.

Speaking Of Eban: If You're A Guru And I'm on Your List

I will buy your stuff If I haven't unsubscribed yet. I promise (cross my heart). I'm moving my 'Pay Line' :-)
