Do you know - two ways to avoid fees for equity Mutual Funds

Two awesome ways to pay less or no entry load for MFs:

1. Put your money in a 0 load liquid fund of any fund house. Then do a STP (Systematic Transfer Plan) of minimum 4 times (can also be weekly for 4 weeks) to any equity fund of your choice of the same fund house. That way you don't pay entry load to those equity funds.

2. Pay 0 to 1% entry load to get into any index fund of a fund house and then do a "Switch To" any equity fund of your choice among the funds from same fund house. For that there is no entry load.

This is out of my reearch. Any comments are welcome.
