Freesites - Why This Housewife Led Industry is Capturing Attention

By Marvin Stewart

Freesites, called Freebie sites by some, have become a popular housewife-led industry for those looking for extra income. They are a sure way for the average person to earn money online. It represents guaranteed income with no risk or monetary investment required.

Freebies are popular because one can earn money for free by completing offers to try products, or by getting others (Referrals) to try products. There is no real skill involved. Patience is the most important quality for success as one earns slowly. Freebie sites are purely for those looking for part-time income, $200 to $2K a month.

What Is a Freebie Site or Freesite? Freesites describes an online industry where companies pay consumers to try their products or services. It is also an industry where one is paid to get others to try products for free. Business loves the industry because of the opportunity to place their product in a consumer's hands at a greatly reduced marketing cost.

In practice, the companies pay money to a Freebie site for each potential customer the Freesite brings to the table. To get customers, the Freebie sites offer an incentive, ie., a cash prize, to those (called Sponsors) responsible for the Customer. This incentive leads some to call these 'incentivized web sites', IFWs.

When a potential customer gets credit for agreeing to try a product, the company pays the Freebie site which in turns pays the Sponsor responsible for the customer (called a Referral). The Sponsor in turn pays the consumer who tried the product.

Freebies & The National TV/Radio Ad for Lifelock A good example of Freebies in operation is the national commercial ran by Lifelock. An individual who wants to try Lifelock's identity theft protection service can respond to a radio or tv ad. The cost to Lifelock to get that potential customer through a radio or TV ad is significant.

Let's assume Lifelock decides to do some marketing through Freesites. The marketing cost is so drastically less that Livelock agrees to pay the Freebie site for every potential customer. The net result is that same consumer who wants to try Livelock for 30 days will be paid when he tries Lifelock through a Freebie site instead of a radio or tv ad.

Freesites produce a 'win-win-win-win' for all involved:

* Lifelock got a potential customer at a drastically reduced cost . . . a win,

* A Freesite got paid for bringing a potential customer to Lifelock . . . a win,

* The Sponsor responsible for the potential customer got paid by the Freebie site for his efforts . . . a win, and

* The Customer who agreed to try Lifelock through a Freesite instead of the radio or tv ad got paid to do so . . . a win again!.

This author encourages individuals to use Freesites as a foundation in making money online. It is easy to see why Freebies are popular with housewives and those looking for extra income.

Making Money Using Freebie Sites - Completing Trial Offers For Cash

By Daniel Harper

There has never been a better method of making money on the internet. What I’m about to share with you is so simple and easy, anyone can figure out how this works. I got tired of searching the internet, looking for ways to make money from home. I just found scam after scam, until I discovered the freebie system. I wish I had discovered this simple way to make some realistic revenue years ago. What am I talking about? Using freebie sites to complete (then cancel) trial offers. We have all seen the pop-up ads that say, “Free xbox 360, just punch the monkey” or something similar. I see them all the time. I always thought they were spam and only a scam before I learned the secret. Those websites actually give away items, and they also give away money through paypal.

Businesses trying to advertise pay those freebie sites money for every person that signs up for their 30-day trial offer (or something similar). You can actually get the free xbox or paypal cash by filling out trial offers and getting other people to do the same. I didn’t want to go ask all my friends to fill out trial offers, so luckily there is another way. There are forums set up on the internet with groups of people that trade referrals to complete the trial offers. You get paid by the freebie site or an individual from the forum for doing a trial offer.

I made about $700 my first month using this system, and it has been exciting to see how simple it is. It truly is a method for anyone, genius or idiot, to make money online. You can get the rest of the details at http://realisticrevenue.net, or keep searching the internet to find more information on the forums to use and how to use them. Trust me, the freebie system is legit, and it works. I quickly learned I wasn’t going to make 1,000s of dollars, but that I could easily make a few hundred, and I did just that. Fortunately, I can now stop trying so hard with network marketing, and other money makers I used to work so hard at.

Freebie Sites Taking The Net By Storm

By Alexander LeBlanc

The first freebie site saw the light approximately 4 years ago. Since then, millions of users have signed up for them and business owners have multiplied their offerings a thousand fold. The industry continues to show tremendous growth as browsers can’t get enough of these sites and the people that run them are capitalizing big time.



The basis of this business model is a simple one: “incentivized”, or “forced leads”. Let’s try and make those industry terms clear for the layman. It all begins with online advertisers of the CPA variety. Advertisers in all shapes and sizes offer a CPA or Cost Per Acquisition payout to affiliates that promote their offers. When a user signs up for one of these offers, the affiliate makes a commission.



Here is where the “incentivized” part comes in. The affiliate, in this case a freebie site owner, shares this commission with the user that generated it. This sharing takes many forms including gifts ranging form the original free iPod to free Xbox 360s and just about anything in between. Cashback rewards have also become increasingly popular and some users have made over $10,000 in easy money just by completing various affiliate offers on freebie sites.



Beyond the opportunity to make free money or earn a gift, these sites have something else working in their favor that make them spread like wild fire: viral marketing. Word of mouth for these literally spreads like a virus, from one person to their social network and so on. The reason for this is that freebie sites offer rewards to users who refer new users.



On one side of the business model, users are required to complete one offer themselves and refer a set number of friends to do the same so they can earn their free gifts. On the other side, users earn a fixed cash bonus for every person they refer to the site.



That’s all well and good from the user’s perspective, but what makes this model so attractive to the business owners that run these sites? The simple answer is of course money. Here is how these earnings break down.



In this first example, the site owner is offering a Video Ipod for 8 referrals. This means the user has to sign up to the site, complete one offer and refer 8 of their friends or family to do the same. Once this process is complete, they receive their gift. Here is the catch: 90% of users can fill an offer and refer one, two, three friends. Then it gets hard and unless the user in question has a huge social network or knowledge of how to get more referrals through forums or advertising, it pretty much stops there. In this case, the site owner has generated an average of $25 to 30 per completed offer and has not shipped a gift. That’s $25 to $120 in profit without doing a thing.



For this second example, the site uses the revenue share principle. When a user completes an offer, they get 60% of the commission money. With thousands of dollars in offers up for grabs, the site owner is pocketing 40% of hundreds of dollars per user.



Both models have a third stream of revenue which is more or less exploited according to the knowledge and savvy of the particular site owner. Freebie sites can generate thousands of signups per week. That means thousands of optin email addresses that can then be marketed to. Smart site owners will choose the right offers to present to this ever growing list and be on their way to opening up another extremely viable source of income.



Here comes the dark side. Spammers have caught onto this principle and instead of using lists wisely, have thrown every offer in the book at their users until they turned away in disgust. Some of the largest operations have even sold customer lists with millions of names to known spammers in exchange for a quick buck.



As the industry forges ahead, the sites that promote integrity and originality in their offerings will reap long term rewards while seeing steady growth for years to come.

Freebie Sites And How They Work

By Andrew Singleton

I’ll admit, I used to think that freebie sites were a total scam for companies to make you sign up for something while promising you something you’ll never get. That was until I received my first payment from a “freebie site”, which happened to be a smooth $250.

A “freebie” implies that you’ll get something for free; and you will – but you need to do your part first. Typically, you get a freebie through three steps. First, you sign up at the site and complete one of their sponsored offers to go “green” and fulfill your personal requirements. “Greening” means the site recognizes that you have completed an offer through their site and they have been credited for you completing the offer. Then, you usually need a certain amount of “referrals,” which are people you tell about the site, who sign up and do the same thing you did. Once you have the correct amount of referrals, you submit for verification. That means the site is reviewing all of the people you referred to make sure they didn’t complete an offer fraudulently; and to make sure that they’re not you. Once you’re verified, you place an order at the site and in about a week, you have your free gift in hand.

Freebie sites make their money from companies who pay to advertise on their site. Every time you complete an offer, or one of your referrals do, the company pays the freebie site a certain amount of cash for bringing them a new customer. The freebie site earns the money from you and your referrals to purchase and send you the gift; and that’s it!

Freebie sites offer a wide variety of things from video game systems, to home appliances, to cold hard cash. After you’ve completed your requirements, each referral is generally worth around $45 dollars. For instance: for a free PSP, you would need to sign up and complete one of the offers on the site, and then get five other people to do the same. A PSP costs $250, so each referral for that site was worth roughly $50. Freebie sites usually also offer the cash equivalent to the gift that they’re featuring, so you would probably be able to receive $250 PayPal if you preferred that. PayPal is like an online banking service where you can send money to anyone with an email address. Create a free account at www.PayPal.com.

While freebie sites are a great way to earn some extra cash for that shopping spree you’ve always wanted to go on, they do require a certain level of attention. Keeping organized is the best way to stay efficient in the freebie world. Know what offers you’ve completed, know what sites you’re signed up for, and keep track of your referrals. That way, the money you make won’t end up being thrown out the window because you forget to cancel a free trial you don’t want to continue with or something.

Sometimes, referrals for your different sites can be hard to find. Whether your a cab driver and dont have any real coworkers, or you simply dont have 5 friends, (which, I mean, c'mon, who does?) there are a few sites out there that can help. ReferralSwapper.com is a site where you can sign up for 10 dollars and trade referrals with people. This means that you do an offer on their site and become a member and they will do the same for you. So in the end, you will each have gained one referral and be that much closer to getting your free gift. You can also pay for referrals on this site. As stated before, a referral might be worth $50. You can pay someone $15 for a green, to cover the offer costs and also give them a little money as a thank you. It might scuff your gift's worth, but it's still worth it. This site features a rating system so that you can know who's dependable and who's not. There's also Anything4Free.com which is the same type of site, but there no trading interface, simply forums and private messages.

Now I bet your itching to start your first freebie site. I reccomend a Trancendant Innovations site, because they have easy offers, the best support team, and the fastest gift shipment out there. This was my first site, so why not make it yours? Go to YouriPodNano4Free.com, sign up, and get started!

Get Free Stuff - And Then Some

By Susan Stribling


Do you remember seeing one of those ads for some wonderful gift while you were surfing or, more likely, staring back at you from your inbox? Maybe it was an offer for a huge Plasma TV or a $500 gift card from Walmart. You looked it over and saw you had to take a survey or sign up with participating merchants before you could get this tempting gift. Then you thought "That's crazy. It must be a scam."

Surprise! Those offers are for real, and people do get them. The freebie form of advertising is a major business tool that works - and it works for them and you. Maybe the gifts aren't literally free because you must spend some money to qualify. If what you commit to are things you want anyway, then it is essentially free. If not, the commitments cost a lot less than what the gift is worth. However, this article isn't a tutorial to get things free. There is a more fascinating entrepreneurial story to be told.

The freebie advertising industry has created a niche home business opportunity in which thousands of people are participating. Through IFWs (Incentivized Freebie Websites) that promote free products, home businesses are converting the completion of a few inexpensive offers into much greater value. A majority of these freebie sites also offer cash payouts, usually through PayPal, as an option. As expected, most traders take the cash payout option for instant liquidity, but some do choose merchandise to resell on an auction site such as eBay. In either case the profit margin can be quite enticing since initial costs are low.

This niche has grown to include forums established for people to communicate, trade and complete deal agreements on preselected IFWs. Veteran members work freely together and warmly welcome newcomers who are trying to establish their businesses. They offer detailed training assistance and moral support to help each other become reliable trading companions while expecting little in return other than honesty and fairness. Many freebie site owners are also members of forums and use the forum platform to promote their site and provide instant answers for questions. This spirit of openness, combined with a willingness to share personal matters or a few laughs, gives forum life the feel of a large family. Nevertheless, as with most large families, there a problems.

The prospect of cash payments for a minimal investment attracts hundreds of new people every day, and many of the newcomers enter this community for the wrong reasons. They anticipate instant rewards for little effort and are disappointed when this doesn't happen. Freebie trading is not a get rich quick business. It requires patience and self discipline to work trades through properly in order to get paid. Often the impatient person will try to circumvent the trading process and thereby leave a trading partner in a sticky situation. Fortunately for the professional trader, forums have developed methods to police and punish such actions. It is common for unfair traders to be punished and unethical traders to be banned from both forums and IFW sites.

A freebie home business is well suited for the average person, and it can be fun as well as rewarding. There are people of all ages from all over the US and Canada, male and female, who share their trades and their stories. Anyone who would like more insight to this fascinating business should visit a company called Project Payday. They are a pioneer in the industry and a major influence in the forum community.

If you decide to try freebies as your home business, be patient and the rewards will come. Good luck and have fun with it.

Freebie Sites - Fact or Fiction?

By Bob Thompson


I love to get things for free, as do most human beings. I don't know a single sole who Loves to pay for anything. We pay enough for The things that we NEED in life, why should we pay for the things we WANT?

For this reason a lot of my time is spent Scouring the internet for things that are free, from product samples, to the occasional popcap Games, usually just simple stuff, or Downloadable. In recent years there has been an Increase of sites that are offering free merchandise and cash, Freebie sites, as they're KNown in the community. Yes FREE merchandise, like Playstation3 and Xbox360 games. Or Mp3 Player's, or even cash!

Surely when something of this caliber is offered, the red flags go up, and people think, "How can that be real?", "How can they just give stuff away for FREE?" Well to answer that question is simple. Trial Offers.

Trial Offers are quite simply, the method used for many retailers these days, to bring new customers, YOU, to there business. Companies Like "BlockBuster" or "stamps.com" will pay a marketer (the freebie site) a hefty commission, just to get YOU to sign-up for a FREE trial with their business. Most of these "OFFERS" are FREE, some Are dirt cheap $1-$2 , and are almost always something useful to someone.

Many people make a good extra income from completing these Freebie sites. You can Easily get that IPOD, or newest XBOX 360 game, for free or extremely cheap, depending on The trial offer you do. If I spend $3 filling out 3 trial offers to get a brand new playstation3 game, that's not a bad deal!

There are 2 kinds of freebie sites. The D.I.Y.(Do It Yourself) sites, and there are Referral Based sites. The first I have included an excellent example of an easy D.I.Y. site, at the end of this article. Basically with these sites, You simply complete offers yourself and earn a point value for each offer completed, which can then be traded in for a gift of your choice (shipping included, you pay nothing for your gift!). The second is a Referral based site. These sites are a little more difficult, veterans will start with a DIY site and after a couple of those, will do a referral site, Because when you sign up for these sites, You Just need to complete 1 offer credit (Like the DIY sites each offer has a value, anywhere from 1/4 to 1 whole
credit) once completed you need to get a set number of referrals to do the same
thing, depending on the reward, you may need anywhere from 1 to 25 people to complete a site under you.

So all in all these sites are quite real, and do pay there subscribers. Some Payout, or ship sooner than others, some are easier than others. But for getting quality merchandise completely free, or extremely cheap, you can't go wrong.

For an easy Site to start out check out www.afreespot.com.
They have easy free trial, and $1 trials to earn points, There are even some
No-Credit card required offers to try. plus when you join you get your first 5
points for FREE. If you refer anyone, you get 25% of any points they earn.

I hope you All have a fun with these sites as I have, and remember, some of the best things in life ARE FREE!

Thanks for reading.
