I just wanted to let you all know that the Freebies4me Network is not going anywhere! Apparently, a certain individual at certain forum has been spreading lies that Freebies4me Network is shutting down, that we are bailing on our members, that we are bailing on pending payouts. All of this is complete fabrication in order for him to build his agenda of the dozen or so sites he’s added to his forum. By spreading lies and rumors about sites that have been recently banned, he is able to build up his own sites. If you have heard any of these lies, please let me know.
I want everyone to rest assured that we are not going anywhere. I have built a legal structure around my company, it is an LLC with a federal tax ID number. I know that doesn’t mean that I can’t just flip the switch and shut down. I have made a committment to this network and I will see that it continues on regardless of the forums I am involved with, regardless of the current economic situation, regardless of the drop of traffic, etc. Every business goes through peaks and valleys…we had a great rise from May 2007 until around January 2009. We’ve hit a 5-6 month slow down, but that’s not enough to force me to go out of business. I do not make this my primary source of income, so I don’t have to run to a better opportunity. I am just committed to its success, plain and simple. Without the retraints FLR, I am now able to expand my offer menu which means better service for you and your referrals. So what if you can’t set up a trade with FLR’s trade manager…there are SO many other forums that have better admin teams, better member involvement, better trade quality, so don’t think for a second that FLR is the only place to go. Look at Alexa ranks (a service that tracks website popularity. I have an example below:

You can see the climb that Calistyle has made since late May, meanwhile FLR has pretty much sat dormant.
All I am saying is a trade is a trade, and if you are going to be successful, diversify and try out different forums. You will find trades at CS101 that may have never happened at FLR.
Please post your comments!
