There Is Nothing For Free.

we all do see many things are free for us, but they are really free for us? There is a very famous quote "There is nothing for free". And that is really true, we have to pay for something if it is for free most of the time we have to pay for our time. We do see there are many websites that do provide services and take money for that and some do that for free. Mostly we all look over the free versions more (that is what most all do, what I have seen in my area). The paid version is free (for a period of time), and mostly all do give a free trial for 7 days some are free for months too. Youtube gives you a free subscription for 1 month but you have to set the payment method there, in year days it was free for 3 months. That is what Netflix used to do.

If you use any of the web 2.0 social media websites and that is obvious (there's nothing to hide we all do use that, then we do see that most of them are free to use. But they are still earning from us there are many ways to do that and the most popular is through advertisements. You must have seen how many ads you see when you play a video on a monetized channel on youtube. They do share a percentage of that earnings with the channel owner too, in this way they both do earn.

Maybe you think that we are using their services for free then that is sure a myth for sure and mostly now all are pretty well aware of that. There is a process to monetize your channel and there are specific requirements that we do have to fulfill before our channel gets monetized.
even if you don't have to pay anything for that you are still giving them your time and why would they give it for free they are not running any charity for sure. everyone has to earn money.
The ways can be different for sure but everything ends at the same point which is earning/ money.

we do see if you do write a blog on the hive and you do start earning from day one that sure depends upon how your content is and sure how the audience is. I don't have a particular niche I do post randomly and I think it is ok. I can't write all day about finance, photography, etc, I think you are getting my point.
you are still giving your time here, so basically it is not free at all. you can say in terms of money it is you don't have to pay for anything here. If you are an investor then that is totally a different thing for sure. what do you think?

No one is going to pay you an xx amount for doing nothing(I mean nothing at all), will someone pay you? will you pay someone for doing anything? Not sure about you but I will not for sure. Why there are referral systems on the applications and websites?
why they are giving you money on you each referral?
The answer is simple you are providing them audience/ members.
All the applications and websites do try their best to keep you with some sure do that and some don't succeed to that. There are competitors everywhere we and the best one will win for sure.

Many people did get into the traps of free things a lot, that is really a very common thing these days online. a very easy and common way of pushing users to get their information with some easy tricks. You should try to use the paid versions, not all websites or applications, first, you should check their trail first.
there are my personal options on the topic what do think?
