Free offers on this site tend to change. Companies offering freebies often do so on a time limited basis, so they may expire. That’s why it’s so important to take advantage of any offer you see here, when you first see it, and to stay updated via our rss feed, or through our twitter account.
It’s basically impossible to verify that any one offer has expired, so we’d appreciate it if you’d notify us, in the form of a comment, if you come across an expired offer. You can save other users time, too by letting them know that something is no longer available, or a link is bad.
We’ll do our best to remove the offer, or indicate it has expired.
I’d like to welcome you to the Free2Thee.com website where we’ll be announcing and categorizing various free, high quality offers of material to help you learn and succeed. If something appears here, you can trust that we have done our best to ensure it’s not spam, junk or otherwise useless, although, of course, for third party offers, we are limited to doing our best.
What you’ll find here, as time goes on, are links and descriptions of free audiobooks, podcasts, ebooks, whitepapers that offer substantial value to you, the end user. In many cases this material is available to promote a specific company or service, but in others, it’s just “there”. For example, many universities are now offering completely free access to some of their tele-courses.
Just a few things:
- To access a particular learning or training resource, you may be asked to register, or provide other basic information about yourself, such as your name, address, email, etc. We apologize if you aren’t comfortable doing that, but the reality is that a lot of the high quality Internet content, while still free, has been migrated to systems that require some information from you.
- Generally speaking, we do our best to gate out any “offers” that are likely to result in receiving spam e-mails, since we also hate them. For example, there’s one person offering help with writing a “book in a weekend” via free material, but unfortunately, after signing up, you will probably receive one or two messages a week from here. NOT ACCEPTABLE. We don’t want to direct people to those kinds of “offers”, and if you find one here, please leave us a comment about it, and we’ll look into it.
- What many people do is create a free secondary email account at hotmail.com, gmail.com or another free provider, and use that email address to sign up for stuff. That way, even if ill intentioned people start spamming you, it’s not a problem. You can always abandon the account, and get another. That’s actually what we do.
- Finally, on very rare occasions, we may come across an offer that provides something for free, but is trying to get you to subscribe to something. For example, there’s an excellent subscription offer from BusinessWeek Magazine that gives you four free weeks, and then a very low price to subscribe for a year or more. Offers like that may require that you enter a credit card number, and that you opt out of the full subscription. Frankly, I hate that, and you probably do to. If you require a credit card to take advantage of an offer, we’ll tell you, but for the most part we are not interested in posting these offers. if you find one here, and it’s not clearly indicated that a credit card is required. please let us know. We’ll remove it.
Well, that’s it for our first message to you. More coming soon.
