Are you a little skeptical that such methods could actually work? Do you wonder about all the people who will take the “gift” and never even visit the actionchurch website? To be honest, I have thought those same thoughts…
Although I believe servant evangelism is a biblical principal, (Jesus healed and fed as well as taught), many web based business follow this same model. For example on the right hand side of this blog you can see the “feedburner” and “statcounter” logo’s. Both companies provide free services to web users. Feedburner distributes blogs in RSS or email formats. Statcounter keeps track of visitors and traffic. Both companies provide a free service in order to advertise on their website and sometimes offer paid “upgrade” services to their users. Many people take advantage of these companies services and never “pay” or visit their sponsors, some never upgrade…however, enough people do join and “contribute” to make these companies viable businesses.
Still unconvinced that an organization can give away goods and services with “no strings attached” and still build up a large and profitable membership? You may have heard of these “little” companies- Google and YouTube They seem to be “surviving” quite well…
