I'm also afraid of information leakage, especially because I always feel that cheap goods are not good. Especially for free and low-priced products, in order to gain profits, businesses may hide a routine that we don't know, perhaps it is a scam to sell personal information, perhaps it is an illegal fund-raising trap ... < P > In recent years, crowdfunding has emerged. If you need something, you can post information online, and then people who are interested in your product can donate to you. When you get something, they may also share your product, of course. However, because everyone has very little money to raise, many people participate in this kind of "gambling" activity.

The so-called one-dollar group purchase is something like this. However, according to the normal business logic, the value and price of many things on the one-dollar group buying website far exceed that of 1 yuan's money, so why do businesses have to do such a loss-making business? What is their profit model?

I think there is no such thing as a free lunch, let alone a business that has been making money at a loss. Under such circumstances, there are deep routines behind these zero-yuan purchases and one-yuan group purchases.

It's good to let you know a few routines:

Routine 1 products are free, and express delivery fee is paid. You know, the number of people who participate in this kind of activities is very large, and when communicating with express delivery companies, merchants can ask for lower prices on the grounds of large quantity, but when charging consumers, they charge high fees to earn the difference in the middle. Consumers also feel that their products are really free ...

Routine 2: Rebate in installments, earning interest first.

Some merchants ask you to pay the full amount at the time of purchase, and then give you a rebate according to the full amount minus the amount of 1 yuan, which is equivalent to buying a group with 1 yuan. In fact, the money can no longer be taken out and can only be used on the website, and merchants often set certain conditions to restrict the use of consumers. Let consumers finally have to take out their money ...

Routine 3 resells consumers' personal information.

you always feel that you just entered your mobile phone number and name, and it's nothing. However, I don't know that there are some merchants and scammers on the Internet. It is precisely because of the need for accurate advertising or fraud that such information is needed. And a piece of information is a few cents. On a website with millions of people, merchants can cash out a lot of money through this information. Not to mention other ways to make profits.

So there is no free lunch in the sky. Before you want to get low-priced and free products, ask, if you are yourself, would you hold such an activity to benefit others? If you can't do it yourself, let alone let others do it.
