Is This A Scam?
Alsolutely NO. There is so much money to make from Freebie Sites. When
you sign up and complete an offer for a freebie site, the freebie site
get paid a bounty by the advertiser. Also, the advertiser potentially
makes a lot of money off of users that continue with the service they
signed up for. Last but not least, you and I get freebies!
What's the catch?
Good
question. You obviously realize that you aren't going to sit on your
couch and then next week a bunch of expensive gifts are NOT going to
just show up at your door for no reason other than you wanted one. The
catch is that you must complete an offer for an advertising company and
then refer X number of friends to complete offers as well. That way the
freebie site gets paid from the advertiser, the advertiser gets
potential customers, and most important of all you get a freebie!
Like
many others, you may be wondering how in the world we are able to give
away free gifts. Hopefully, this document will help clarify things for
you.
Lets begin by explaining the process to which you, the user, takes in order to receive your gift.
Choose your gift. Just click on the bubble underneath whatever gift you
want and register. Enter your email with the "New User" box checked,
and click on register now. You should be brought to a page asking you
to fill out some important information, including your name, address,
and telephone number. Make sure you enter everything accurately, as we
will need this information to ship out your gift! If you've already
registered on one of our other sites, please check the existing user
box and log-in with the details of your other account.
You're
getting there! This final step involves you referring a few friends to
complete this same process that you just went through. Assuming that
you've now earned one full offer credit, please click on the "Status"
page. On this page, you should see some in bold stating "Your Referral
Link" with a link below it. This is the link you will give to your
friends when referring them to the site. If you're unsure of how many
friends you need to refer, please look under under the "Your Selected
Prize" gift image. You should see something such as (2 Referrals)
indicating that you need to refer two friends to sign up and earn a
full offer credit.
What is "Going Green?"
"Going green" is an industry term. It means that as a referral, you
have completed all the needed requirements. It's called "going green"
because that is the color that the sites use to let the trader and the
referral know when they have finished their requirements. This will all
make much more sense as you read the trade walk-through tutorial on the
forum.
Do I have to use my real name and information?
Yes. You must provide accurate information when signing up on the
freebie site and the sponsor offers, otherwise your sign up will not be
confirmed, you won't receive your payment or item, and you will
probably be banned from the site.
Once I complete an offer how long does it take to show as "green?"
It can take anywhere from a few minutes to several days. It depends
on the offer your choose and how they report the status of your offer
completion to the freebie site. Each site will clearly tell you how
long it takes for each individual offer. Please note that "instant"
does not mean instant in this industry.
When I sign up for an
offer that is a free trial, do I have to keep it if I decide that I am
not interested in the product/service, or can I cancel it?
In general, when possible you should always try to pick offers that
you may be interested in keeping. You can find many that cost less than
the going rate for greens, meaning that you can keep the offer and
still make a profit.
You should only take offers that you are
genuinely interested in at least trying. IF you find once you have
tried the offer, that for whatever reason it does not suit you or
appeal to you, you CAN cancel it. Remember, you can take these offers
as gifts for others, as treats for your family, as something for
yourself you would have never done if not paid to do so, etc. There are
many offers you will be interested in!
Taking offers you have no
interest in at all, simply to fulfill the needed requirements for the
freebie site as a referral, then turning around and canceling them
right away is FRAUD, and therefore illegal.
For that reason
freebie sites will ban people that promote cancellations, or help
people to cancel, and the topic is taboo on the forums.
If you must cancel, you should wait until near the end of the trial period, giving the product a fair try.
Can I take the same offer more than once?
No. Once you choose an offer and complete it,that's it. You can not
take that offer again on any other site. Even should you cancel on one
site, then take the offer again on another site, you will be red
flagged and sited for fraud. Remember, Fraud is illegal, and therefore,
you don't want to take one of these offers, cancel it then take it
again. That is very bad, and not allowed. It is also not allowed to
take an offer for a service you have been a member of in the past.
These companies are paying for "new leads" meaning that they want
people who have never tried their product/service before.
What do I do if the offer(s) I take don't credit?
If your computer is set properly to allow cookies and if you have
followed the proper procedure for getting offers to credit, then you
should have little problem. 9 times out of 10 the reason an offer did
not credit properly is due to the fault of the referral, NOT the offer
or the freebie site. IF, however, you feel that you are not at fault
for the offer not crediting, then you MAY at some sites issue a MCR
(Manual Credit Request). Many sites do not allow MCR's anymore, though,
as scammers and frauders got a hold of this industry and took advantage
of the MCR system. Sadly, it did much damage to the industry and cost
everyone a lot of money. SOME sites do still offer MCR's though, and
once again, check that site's Terms and Conditions page to see if that
site will take a MCR or not.
If they do not accept MCR's, you
may have to take another offer to make up for the one that did not
credit. This does not happen frequently however, and should not be a
constant issue for you.
Can I join an freebie site more than once?
No. They consider that "fraud." You can only join each site once
per household. That means that if you have two computers you can not
join from both, and that your spouse or other family member can not
join the same site if they have the same identifying information as you
(email address, phone number, shipping address, ISP address, etc.)
Can I get a prize from a freebie site more than once?
