Something for Nothing?
By Robyn Greenspan

July 13, 2000


Too good to be true? Must be a catch? Not so, with Freemerchant.com. Almost everything but inventory is provided by this storefront builder and it''s all absolutely free.

By building your web store with Freemerchant.com, you''ll be able to utilize a list of features that rival costly competitors, such as: hosting, secure shopping cart, email account, traffic log, coupon creator, tech support, banner exchanges and shipping and tax calculators.

Sounds like Freemerchant.com is giving away the store, doesn''t it? Well, they do make money too. They create relationships with other companies and sell ads on the pages they host. Freemerchant.com hopes that the money you save on storefront building and hosting will be used on advertising and promotion. In effect, you pay for traffic-building so they can sell ads and in return, they pay for the creation of your website. Hopefully, your traffic-building efforts will also create sales so essentially, everyone wins.
