5 Shady Sales Tactics That Are Making You Spend
Spot them and stay away to save your money.
Picture this.
You browse for something online and give your email in exchange for some freebie. This happened to me last week when I was looking for Lightroom presets (to edit photos).
You get them. It’s good, it’s fun.
Then you get a link to buy the entire package. You know it’ll give value, but you don’t want it right now. I’m no Instagram influencer. I simply stumbled on them while procrastinating.
The next day, the offer comes with a 24-hour countdown.
