You don't have to upgrade to get the free tools and resources here and you can attend really good conferences and get tutorials on how to build your business. They don't spam you with comments like myspace and it's just a lot of fun to be a member here. And what's really good is even as a free member you get paid when someone in your downline upgrades!
Community Marketing University is all that and then some.
I hope to see your name in the member's list.
