Today, I thought I'd talk about free stuff because who doesn't love free stuff, right? This is about trading stuff, as a way to try out new products, experimenting with new product lines, advertising what you make and as a way to get new stuff that others make It's a win, win situation. There is no stress of wondering whether you'll be the winner of some contest - out of the hundreds that have entered. The catch, of course, is that you must trade something to get something, so it's not truly free. Why do it, then?
