Thanks Ann for saying it OUT LOUD. I don't like being hustled to have someone share an “opportunity” with me.

I love this Candace because I have also believed that Integrity is how you talk about people when they are NOT there – would you/have you said the same thing to their face (kinda like the shopping cart!)

Ann – I think the difference is that you are being honest. Your audience knows they have to sign up for the newsletter and then you get the free eBook. But the links that I clicked on to watch a free show acted as if they were transferring me to that show and instead went to a survey link. Its all in being upfront.

To me, integrity means doing something right even though others may not be watching. It could be as simple as returning a shopping cart from across the parking lot rather than leaving it by your car, to being transparent in your dealings with other people, to telling the truth. Integrity is who you are.

Crystal Marie – yes it's a frustrating point and I understand why business do it – they want your info for the future right, we all need that especially as a small business owner. That is why I say “sign up for my newsletter and you will get my eBooks for free” – you know you have to give me something to get them. And I have even struggled with the word free there, but what other word would be correct? Not sure. Always trying to achieve higher integrity.

I agree. One of my pet peeves is when I go to watch a free TV show or movie online an it first takes me to a link that wants me to fill out a survey or buy something. That is not free. Free is something that you get with no strings attached.
