Is Cash Gifting Legal? Who Cares The Most That It’s Not?
Saturday, November 29th, 2008Is Cash Gifting Legal? Only a jury would be the one’s to really say if it got you in trouble. Seemingly a free consenting adult has every right to choose to send ANY asset or personal property including cash, food, building materials, clothes, cars, boats and jewelry etc to another free and consenting adult. It would be a VERY oppressive, repressive situation if a person was NOT allowed to give or transfer their own property or assets…
You have just as much of a right to gift your cash, than you have a right to give anybody your old car or bicycle. The problem is not whether the ACT of gifting is legal or not… of course it’s legal to gift. The problem becomes when you ORGANIZE and SOLICIT cash gifting as a way to earn income. That is illegal.
The more intelligent question to ask is: Who are the people most interested in spreading the negative hype or misinformation about cash gifting?
Why do they care what free consenting adults are choosing to do with their cash? Do they have a hidden agenda? Is this just negative, scare tactic “marketing” by people having obvious troubles selling whatever “their deal” is?
It’s funny when you really give it some thought. Most of the normal people I talk to about cash gifting (people in my warm market, friends and family that I don’t promote anything to) don’t really care one way or the other whether cash gifting is this or that…
They agree that free consenting adults should have the right to engage in cash gifting if they really want to and nobody should have any business telling them they can’t. Whose business is it, what people do or don’t do with their assets?
It’s important to keep in mind that the ONLY people I’ve ran into that are virulently opposed to cash gifting and that go out of their way to post on blogs, forums, videos and do everything they can to fight the spread of cash gifting and to attempt to scare and intimidate people with negative hype, scare tactics, intimidation and slanderous misinformation… are people who are obviously attempting to market, pitch or sell some other “home opportunity” whether it’s Multi Level Marketing, Direct Sales, Affiliate Marketing or Information Product Marketing.
When you think about it, it’s pretty obvious why they are resorting to fear, negative hype and scare tactics: How else could you compete with such a popular, simple and quick model that so many people around the world can resonate with?
MLM? Everyone should know now that it would take the recruiting AND RETENTION of THOUSANDS to make any real money there. Plus you’re constantly told by “corporate” more about what you can NOT do to promote “your own business” than what you CAN do… So in essence, you’re just paying to be a 100% commission only sales rep (employee) for some company. You’d be better off selling real estate, automobiles or some other sales profession because it’s just a job. Hassles, attrition and peanuts is what you get paid. People are not interested in peddling overpriced junk products in the “hope” that someday they’ll make enough money residually to walk away… Most don’t, and never have.
Affiliate Marketing? Great for little stuff. But try and make it a full time income replacement and you find out how futile that is. Only ten listings can live on the first page of google. If you’re not one of them, then you’re working a LOT harder to sell $20 ebooks that everybody else is also peddling.
Info Product Marketing. Arrogance lives here most of the time. How many “continuity” programs or memberships will people purchase before they’re tapped out? Again, ONLY a few have the reputation and the muscle to produce full time, life changing income here. Everybody else uses this to make some neat side “list monetization” money… but NOT as a primary source of cash flow. Plus, then you’re always under pressure to create a new launch that is bigger and better and badder than the last one. You attract “know it all” marketers who will constantly be forcing you to raise the bar and lower your prices… That’s crazy, unless your ego really needs to be known as some kind of “guru”… But everybody knows these days, that “internet marketing” is NOT rocket science, it’s pretty basic and simple. No ‘guru’ needed!
Direct sales home business programs. These remain the only viable and sustainable options for people who simply want to build a business from home using the internet. You learn real marketing. You promote real products or services. It’s not for everyone, but many people can see how this model can work for many others. You simply learn how to promote to a target market and your sales and marketing system does much of the heavy lifting. It’s reasonable to expect that with much effort, persistence and focus, you CAN build a marketing company online or offline from home with the leverage your have available today.
Don’t be intimidated by all the negative, cynical, naysayers. Most will never really be successful in ANY model and so they can not show you how to succeed in even their model. They are simply not attracted to the type of mindset it takes to succeed. Negativity does not succeed, no matter what type of model it gets involved in.
Just be smart of where and who and what type of mindset you’re getting your information from.
