6 Reasons Why You’re Not Getting Referrals

Don’t know about you, but when I first decided to join my first freebie site, I had to convince my self that getting referrals would be a piece of cake. “All I need is a few active referrals for my Free Macbook Pro, right? That’s EASY! I have hundreds of friends on Facebook, Twitter, and Thousands on Myspace. I can do this!!“

Next thing you know, reality calls upon Chuck Norris to round house kick your dreams and now your left sitting on your computer scrutinizing the freebie industry because no body cares to sign up under you!

Either way, for those of you slowly dying of Freebie Site Referral Starvation, I’m here to save your life!

So, Here’s 6 Reasons why You’re a Waste of Referral Links…

I hope this helps!

YOU DON’T SHOW YOUR FACE -

So many referral freebie chasers talk a big game about getting free prizes but they hide behind stock images or “Anime Character Avatars”! Personally, I can understand that you don’t want to associate yourself with Incentive Based Freebie Networks because people often think they’re scams! However, if you’re trying to convince people that these sites are legitimate, then SHOW YOUR FACE and STAND BY IT! Defend the Freebie Industry!

In reality, you can’t expect people to trust you if you don’t give them a piece of yourself!! Think about it; would you accept “Free” tickets to a concert from a Masked Man in a trench coat?! HELL NO!! Let people see your face, don’t be afraid of criticism.

Truth is, People follow other People… Not Bots, Not Scams, not anonymous users with nicknames, and especially not STOCK IMAGES!

YOU’RE ALL TALK…

Listen, if your making claims and have nothing to show for it, then people are not going to listen to you. As far as anyone’s concerned, you’re just a messenger!

So, in order to get people to pay attention to you, have something to show for it…

- Have some photos to back it up! Just like i mentioned in Eazy Refs Guide, try and use images.. testimonial pics.. etc. If you have a Big Screen HDTV setup at your home, take a pic and show it off! Have a pic of yourself STANDING NEXT to your Bit Screen TV!

- If you don’t have a Freebie of your Own? Then use the testimonial pics showcased in your freebie site. People like to know that other people are actually getting prizes. However, DO NOT MAKE FALSE CLAIMS about images that are Not Your Own!

SHOW OFF YOUR PROGRESS

If you’ve never gotten a freebie, then take pictures of your Progress! Do a print screen on your account to show that you’re getting referrals, even if they’re not active!

YOU’RE NOT SHARING YOUR PERSONAL STORY

Listen, If you’re trying to get people’s attention on youtube or blogger and all your saying is, “YOU CAN GET COOL PRIZES…, It’s FREE, YOU CAN REALLY EARN PRIZES.. YOU THIS… YOU THAT…” then you’re going to FAIL!

No one in their right minds are going to believe that you genuinely CARE that they get free prizes! Instead, your viewers will start to wonder, “hmm.. What DO YOU GET out of SHOWING ME these SITES???”

Having and or sharing a personal story will allow your readers to warm up and be open up to you. Let them understand WHY you want them to sign up. Don’t pretend that you’re getting free prizes when you’re NOT!

Give your readers a piece of your self as they read how you got your FREE LED HDTV and watched an amazing Football game with your FAVORITE NFL player Kicking A$$; assuming you are indeed a football fan!

Even if you’ve never earned prizes before, share your story, still! Give people a piece of yourself.

YOU’RE NOT TARGETING the RIGHT AUDIENCE!

Do you know how often I see people promoting Consoles.Freebiejeebies (Free Game Consoles) on Macintosh Forums? I see that CRAP ALOT. Why would you offer a link to free game consoles to a community of people who are only expressing interest in Macintosh Computers?

You can’t just go to random people and offer your referral links. It’s much better to target an audience of people actively expressing interest in products and or services your freebie site offers!

I did mention that you should pick a niche you can relate to the most. In this way, you can easily understand how they feel and what they think. That’s when you’re able to utilize words and content to emotionally persuade your audience to take action! If you’re not all too familiar with the niche you’re targeting.. it can be difficult to get them to move!”
I hope this helps!

YOU’RE NOT GIVING ENOUGH VALUE

When people are not confident they can achieve success, they never take action. So if you’re offering your referral links to people who want that New Xbox 360 before Halo Reach comes out, but they’re not confident they can get friends to sign up, then they simply will ignore your referral links. Now, what if you knew how to EMPOWER you prospects and make them WANT to sign up as YOUR LOYAL REFERRAL!? I mean, to the point where they ONLY COME TO YOU if they wanted to sign up under any freebie site?

Today, in the Freebie Industry, everyone you promote your referral links to pretty much know that they have to undergo some participation before they can earn your free reward. Even still, they may not be confident that these websites are legitimate. So ultimately, you’re asking your viewers to register into an industry they are not familiar with and you have nothing to offer them but a link.

YOU EXPECT PEOPLE TO SIGN UP IMMEDIATELY…

People who have no experience or knowledge of the freebie industry almost NEVER sign up the first time someone (YOU) promotes a ref link to them. Fact is, your viewers may want to LEARN MORE before they register under your link. So you’re pretty much tossing your links around, and then it ends up taking up space on the internet!

BE THERE FOR THE SKEPTICS

So rather than ONLY having a Referral link to offer, you should also provide a source where they can learn more about the industry and or how they can collect referrals so they feel confident they can earn their prize. Write a blog or an article for those who have questions. Otherwise, if you’re not there to guide them and teach them what they want to know, their just gonna start running around scratching their heads hoping to learn more, and end up searching the wrong places. Ultimately they end up asking questions on YAHOO ANSWERS where all the IDIOTS who know CRAP about freebie industry say, “Yup, they’re all scams!” Either that or they eventually sign up under someone else’s link.

So don’t just toss your links and expect people to sign up. That’s like giving people your business card and expecting them to call you without researching about your organization.

HERE’S MORE REASONS WHY YOU SUCK AT GETTING REFERRALS! >:-)

YOU DON’T WANT TO BE REFERRED!!!

Now isn’t this Selfish huh? Now how could you possibly expect to collect referrals when you’re ignoring referral links to sites you already plan to register with? It’s about time to drop the egos and begin supporting each other! I won’t lie, I’ve been guilty of that in past. Part of it comes from the fact that we may find difficulty collecting referrals, so we don’t want to help out “competition”!

Now that’s the problem, we treat other participants like their competition! So we don’t support each other. Now what does that mean? It means collecting referrals is even HARDER than is necessary! Do you understand? So lets toss away the HATER-RAID drinks and be supportive. If you plan on signing up with a freebie site, then make it a habit to sign up under someone’s link.

I personally believe in Karma. Every site I registered under the last six months have been under people’s referral links that I actively searched for! Therefore, I’ve had more referrals than I’ve had before I stopped signing up with Non-Referred accounts! However, that’s My Reality! Doesn’t have to be yours!

YOU AREN’T COMPLETING OFFERS

Here’s Something I want to Address to Some of You who are Reading This Post:

If you HAVE YET to complete an OFFER on your freebie site, then you’re probably DOOMING yourself to complete failure!

How is that? Well, if you complete an offer on your freebie site, then you’ve made the decision to COMMIT to getting your free prize. However, if you decide to WAIT and get some referrals BEFORE you complete an offer, then you’re mentally giving yourself an opening to quit. Psychologically, this means that you are not 100% confident that you will earn your free prize. So after a few days of promoting and you’re still not getting Referrals, you’ll probably end up abandoning your account searching for another freebie site hoping to experience better results.

Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t the ABSOLUTE TRUTH. But is a GENERAL FACT! I mean, I can bet that you might have several dead accounts on multiple freebie sites…

So it’s very important that you complete your requirements RIGHT AWAY. Because when you do, then not only did you decide to commit, you ultimately work harder on your promotional content, which will make it 100X better. STATISTICALLY SPEAKING… those who complete an offer tend to attract more referrals than those who don’t! Commitment is the NUMBER 1 KEY to earning a free prize!

YOU’RE TALKING TOO MUCH ABOUT FREEBIE SITES

Here’s a secret. NO BODY CARES about HOW AWESOME a FREEBIE SITE IS. Your prospects only CARE about the PRIZES! If you’re site took away your ability to win prizes, would you still participate? NO!!! (>_<)! The reason you signed up in the first place was because you saw one or more awesome gifts you went Insane for.

So what did you learn? SHUT UP and STOP TALKING all about your Site! Only talk about what your viewers care about. If you’re targeting an audience of video gamers, then only talk about getting free video game consoles using your freebie site!

YOU’RE BEGGING FOR REFERRALS

Listen, when you go on forums and as people, “PLEASE HELP ME GET MY PRIZE… I need HELP!”, you are seriously doing HEAVY DAMAGE to YOUR SELF! Why, because this is what your Viewers will probably think; “Hmm.. she’s in desperate need of help to get referrals. So that means, If i signed up under her link, then that means I’m going to have a HARD TIME TOO! … So, NOPE, I’m not gonna put myself through that!”

YOU’RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SHORTCUTS!

Listen to me when i say this, THERE’S NO SECRET METHOD in existence that’s going to make all of your FREEBIE DREAMS COME TRUE OVER-NIGHT!

Funny Story

Could you believe that a few freebie losers were trying to sell the Freebie Kingz Eazy Refs Referral Guide (My Copyright and Trademark) in return for referrals? They would go on to forums and say, “Hey I have an AWESOME GUIDE that can help you get LOADS of REFERRALS FAST. If you want a copy, just complete an offer and under my link and I’ll email you a free copy!”

Now guess what happened next,

1) People were not Buying their Stupid Game. “How is it that you possess a guide that can teach you how to get eazy referrals but you’re asking people to be your referral before they can get it?” Next thing you know, the idiot claiming to be the owner of our Copyright gets BASHED by everyone who read the forum, “Dude Ur an A$$ HOLE…” “You think we’re stupid.. !” The posts were pretty funny and this happened in several forums and sites.

2) Luckily for us, we have people policing all the popular freebie forums. After receiving emails from people exposing these desperate copyright abusers, we took action against those who didn’t listen to the warning!

What’s the POINT?

People looking for Shortcuts ultimately fail. When they fail, they fail big time. Whether they make a Youtube Video claiming to have Hacked a Freebie Site, or make false claims, you’ll never win! Even today, freebie networks have staff who monitor the activity produced by the site’s members. They can even track where you’re referrals are coming from. If your methods violate the terms, your account will be shut down, frozen, etc.

The point in participating in the freebie industry is to PARTICIPATE! The more times you cheat, the harder you make it for everyone to earn prizes. New rules are added every time a bug or a loophole is abused!

FINAL THOUGHTS

I’M NOT SUGGESTING that you do EVERYTHING I listed here. These tips are simple details that you can change or add to your referral attraction strategies or tactics. That’s all! I’m not trying to overwhelm you with loads of information!

Now I’m sure there’s more that I may have forgotten to mention. So, I’m leaving this discussion up to YOU! Any more thoughts or ideas to add to this? Feel free to comment and share your thoughts!

I hope this helps!!!

GO GET YOUR FREE PRIZES!!!

Building A Website for Easy Referrals (Free Greens)

Imagine having a website filled with iPhone images, Xbox 360 banners, and Free HDtv Testimonials – all hyper-linked to your freebie site. Now imagine your website sitting on the first page of Google when 3 million people search, “How to Get a Free Macbook Pro“, every single month! Now imagine 10% of those 3 million people visiting your website, clicking on your buttons and links, and then signing up as your referral – all while your sleeping or out on vacation.

Now imagine your self waking up, checking your account status, and realizing you have more than enough referrals to order 3 xbox 360 slims, 2 macbooks, and 1 60″ LED HDtv! Now imagine this happening to you every other month!

Awww man… wouldn’t that be a dream come true? Well it can! All you need to do is take action!

STARTING A WEBSITE FOR EASY REFERRALS

Creating a Website with links to your freebie site is an excellent way to convert Search Engine Traffic in to referrals. If you were to make a website with referral links to your Xpango, Freebiejeebies, or Kudos account and it ended up on the first page of a highly searched and popular keyword, you could literally watch your bedroom or house transform into a high-tech gaming and entertainment show-room without spending a dime!

You can eventually move on and focus other methods to expand your freebie empire while your site is running 24/7 getting new sign ups and earning you free gadgets.

Now wouldn’t that be an excellent problem to have – a heavily piled garage stuffed with free gadgets you can sell off on ebay? Lol.. I’m exaggerating, of course, however, the skies the limit. If that’s what you want, then I’ll give you a boost by helping you create a website to get referrals…

STEP1 | GET A DOMAIN

I think Jilian Michaels is HOT!!

You need a domain name for your website. One that is freebie niche-targeted, easy to remember, and or catchy. So you might want to brainstorm a bit and think up some interesting domain names. Again make sure it has something to do with getting free gadgets – an ex; “TechFreebies.com”, “iPhoneFreebies.net”, “GiftGamer.com”, “TechTheft.com”, “BlackFreeday”, etc.. just making up names here – you get the point.

GoDaddy is the number 1 domain registrar in the world, for GOOD REASON. Purchase your domain name at GoDaddy.com. Once you’ve done that, you can move on to the next step!

STEP 2 | HOSTING

In order for your website to go live on the internet, in front of the world to see, you need a web server to host your domain. It’s just that simple! No host, no website! So, you get your hosting already. You can choose between GoDaddy, or HostGator to host your domain.

STEP 3 | UPLOAD A TEMPLATE

Now that you’ve purchased your Domain Name and got your WebHosting, it’s time now that you get yourself a cool looking template. If you’re excellent in design, html, and css coding, feel free to design your own template. If you’re not good at creating templates, you can download free ones on Styleshout.com.

For template customization, Exceem’s forums are filled with members who are willing to customize and or edit the templates for you – all you have to do is ask. Many of them are happy to show off their design skills by making your site look very freebie friendly and gadget sexy lol…

Keep in mind, make sure your site looks professional. Anything less will turn your visitors OFF.

For Premium Eye-popping and attention grabbing html, CSS, and Flash templates, I recommend Dream Templates. With an Annual Membership Fee of $60, you have UNLIMITED access to EVERY TEMPLATE on DREAM TEMPLATE.com. Let alone, because these templates are so clean, professional, sleek, etc.. you barely have to customize it.

STEP 4 | HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH MULTIPLE FREEBIE NETORKS

Having an account with multiple freebie websites will be a huge life saver. Why? Well, having an account with only one freebie site will only limit you. Some freebie sites won’t offer world wide shipping when many of your website’s visitors live in other countries. You’ll also discover that it’s common to find users from other freebie networks looking for new ones to sign up on. If you’re promoting GiftMonkey links on your site and an Ex Giftmonkey member stumbles across your website, he or she will not sign up as your referral.

Giving your visitors options to choose is always effective. So visit the Freebie Website Directory and register an account with, at least, 3 freebie websites.

STEP 5 | START ADDING CONTENT

Ok, good! You’ve got your site set up and you’ve even got a fantastic looking premium template. Now it’s time to start creating and / or adding content to your website.

Having great content on your website is key to referral conversions. Your content should be convincing, informative, it should answer all of their questions and rebuttals, it should show proof, press, testimonials, etc. and, of course, you should have buttons, images, and links to your freebie site where your visitors can sign up and register.

Have a page showing off testimonial pictures and videos of people who’ve earned free gadgets. Create a page teaching your viewers how freebie sites work. Create a page, a slide show, or add multiple buttons, each with a different gadget so your viewers have a selection of gifts or sites they want to sign up under.

STEP 6 | START YOUR SEO – Search Engine Optimization

Now that you have your freebie site set up. Now it’s time for you to Optimize it for Search Engine ranking. This is the beginning to getting referrals you never have to work for. This is the beginning of freebie website domination. By following the previous steps, you’ve proven that you’re interested in making free gadgets an effortless hobby and you’re ready to go all out.

So here’s some SEO tips to Start you Off…

Quality Back Links – Plain and simple, the more back links (websites linking to you) you get, the higher the ranking your website will receive. An excellent way to get a head start is publishing multiple articles using article directories and link every article you publish back to your site. Commenting on blogs and articles relevant to your niche is also excellent to get links back to your website. So your goal here is to get as many back links as possible.

Keyword Rich Content – You want to make sure the contents on your site are keyword rich. Whether it’s, “How to get a Free Xbox 360″ or “Free Apple Macbooks and iPhones”, you want to make sure the content on your site is consistent with your keywords. How could you expect your site to rank on Google’s top 10 under “Freebie Jeebies Review”, when you have paragraphs and tags on your site reading, “Chocolate Bakeries” and “Pizza Dorritos”..?

SiteMap – The easier it is for web crawlers to access the contents of your site, the higher the ranking your website will receive. So have a list or archive of all the pages you have in your site!

Inbound Links – Linking to other pages within your site will also make it easier for web crawlers to index your site on Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.

Out-Bound Links – Linking to other sites relevant to your niche or industry is also a great way to build relationships with your competition. If you link to other people’s sites, they are also likely to link to yours as well.

There are loads and laods of SEO tips and strategies. At the end of the day, Google cares about rich, fresh, and great content, along with back-links, keywords, and updating frequency. You don’t have to do EVERYTHING you read… you just have to be persistent.

There you have it! You have successfully created a web site and now you can start your SEO. Any questions, concerns, thoughts, input, etc… feel free to drop a comment.

FreebieJeebies.co.uk Review

I gotta tell ya… when I first heard about FreebieJeebies, I just had to put on my shades and raise “The People’s Eyebrow”! Every time I ran into users promoting freebiejeebies, I’d roll my eyes and start bashing the network; saying, “o(>_<)oFreebieJeebies? Pfft… That name sounds like a start up scam! That site is not even 5 years old! You’re wasting your time… Here, sign up with MY freebie site instead >:-)!“ Now lets fast forward…

As some of you now grow hair on your m

an parts, I’ve had plenty of time to get acquainted with UK’s most infamous freebie website – and boy was I WRONG beyond belief!

For some reason, so many more people signed up as my referral on FreebieJeebies and ignored every other freebie site I advertised. Question is why? What makes people more interested in FreebieJeebies than any other freebie site I advertised?

I can’t really speak for all the happy people I referred to FreebieJeebies, how

ever, I can bet that the features offered on the site have a lot to do with it. I personally was ecstatic to find out the following;

NO PRIZE LIMITATIONS

Now, this is why I’m SO IN LOVE WITH FREEBIEJEEBIES! FJ allows you to earn as Many Prizes as you want! Once you’ve received your free prize, simply reset your account and start again.

GET THIS; YOU WON’T HAVE to COMPLETE another OFFER AGAIN! Once you reset your account after getting your free prize, your Offer Credit will automatically be forwarded on towards your next gift!!! Now how cool is that! This feature alone was enough for me to sign up and participate – and that’s before I read the next few!

ROLL OVER REFERRALS

Imagine you only needed 12 referrals for a free gift, but for some reason, 30 people signed up and registered under your link. So you claim your free prize, which only required 12 referrals, and now you have 18 active referrals left over. So you decide to reset your account so you can participate again. Next thing you know, all of your existing refer

rals are GONE and now you have to start from zero. How PISSED would you be?

Me personally, I’d morph into a Big Green Rampaging Fat Guy and Smash the computer. Now, if you’re familiar with “Roll Over Minutes” on cellphone plans, then you’ll love this: When you reset your FJ account to so you can participate for your next prize, all unused Referrals will

be forwarded towards your next gift! You don’t have to START from ZERO!

Everyone, give a round of applause to FreebieJeebies for granting you this feature (Waiting til the crowd stops clapping ) – 5 hours later o(>_<)o – (the applause finally dies down).

9 SITES OPEN WORLD WIDE

9 SITES OPENED WORLD WIDE!!! This works SO WELL when you’re trying to get referrals! How? Well, most freebie sites don’t really offer free prizes world wide. So most freebie referral chasers are limited to the population in their region or nation. That can go as little as a few hundred thousand. So because FreebieJeebies is opened world wide, you now have access to hundreds of millions more prospects that can sign up as your referral to help you receive loads of prizes!

MASSIVE PRIZE SELECTION

FreebieJeebies offers LOADS of Prizes; ranging from Macbook Pros, iMacs, Iphone 4s, Ipad Tablets, New Xbox 360, PS3, Nintendo Wii, DS, Xbox Live, etc. (There’s TOO MUCH TO LIST). FreebieJeebies even offers, HDtvs, Mountain Bikes, and fitness equipment! There’s litter ally something for EVERYONE here!

NO TIME LIMIT

I find it pretty LAME that some Freebie sites will immediately label your account as “Abandoned” or “Closed” just because you haven’t produced any kind of activity for over a month!I mean, why? Why close my account because I haven’t logged in for a few days when people are still visiting the site under my link. That’s so no fair!

“I’m sure you can tell by now that I’m not a huge fan of certain freebie sites, simply because I don’t agree with their policies.”

Now, I say all that to say, whether it takes you 2 days or 100 years,

there’s no time limit to how long you can participate with FreebieJeebies sites.

ALRIGHT, 5 is enough. There’s so many more awesome features you’ll find on FreebieJeebies. I’m just getting a bit too lazy to list them all o(^_^)o!

I’m pretty sure by now you’ve already figured out what makes FreebieJeebies so attractive. Maybe you’re itching to Register Now and get your Free Gift Today. If so, I don’t blame you… go right ahead!

FJ is Flexible, Consistent, Constantly Updated and h

as an AWESOME SUPPORT TEAM. Even by reading the terms of service and policies, it’s easy to see that FJ works to ensure that everyone’s happy. If you’re goal is to earn Packages after Packages of Game Consoles, Apple Gadgets, HDTVs, or even Smart Phones; all without having to complete Of

fers over and over and over again, FreebieJeebies is THE ONE!

Interesting Factor about FreebieJeebies: Because the network off

ers freebies to people WORLD WIDE, there’s SO MUCH ROOM for everyone to win prizes. You don’t have to worry about competition – you literally have access to a market of nearly 1 billion potential referrals. When you only need about 20 or less!

Here on Apple.Freebiejeebies, You’ll find Free Macbook Pros, iMacs, Iphone 4s, Ipad Tablets, Ipods, Itunes Vouchers, Apple Tvs, and tons more Apple Gadgets to choose from.

Consoles.FreebieJeebies – Here you can find PS3, Xbox 360 game bundles, NEW XBOX 360 w/ Wifi, 12 Months Gold Xbox Live membership, Nintendo consoles, and more…

Gadgets.FreebieJeebies – Here you’ll find Digital

Cameras, Video Cameras, Smart Phones, Laptops, Desk Tops, GPS Navigators, MP3 Players, Game Consoles, and more.. So it’s pretty much a collection of everything.

DOES ANYTHING SUCK ABOUT FREEBIEJEEBIES?

I don’t have anything negative to say about FreebieJeebies, in all honesty. The site is overall, perfect in terms of flexibility, massive prize selection, simple rules, etc. This is one freebie network that people are easily attracted to. However, there is one little thing about freebiejeebies that may be a turn-off for those of you already struggling to earn free prizes – High Referral Requirement!

If you wanted a 27-inch: 3.06GHz iMac on FreebieJeebies, you’d find that you’d have to get about 10 – 20 more active referrals than you would need for an 21.5 inch 3.06GHz iMac on Gift Monkey.

FINAL THOUGHTS

I’m no FJ authority! It’s really up to you to decide if this site is for you. Remember, not all freebie sites are for everybody!

Freebie Site Lingo – Words, Terms, and Definitions you need to know

I remember my first time registering an account for Anything4Free and freebiesociety just because i was curious to see what goes on in these forums. After getting through all the registration pages and forms, my account was finally active. Once I logged in, I was prompted to introduce my self, and so i did. All i said was…

“Hey how’s it goin? I’m new to the freebie industry and i’m l

ooking for some fast start tips and advice. I’m also open to freebie trading if you need someone to complete an offer!”

I immediately got a response from loads of users. And I have to tell you, I understood NOTHING AT ALL! All read from all the responses was, “Green… Green, IFW, MCR, Green, Go Green!” I’m like, “What? do they think I’m the Hulk (0_o)? I’m out of here…” I was overwhelmed with all the stuff I didn’t understand in the industry and so i literally believed that receiving free prizes was practically impossible! So to make the long story short, I’m gonna save you the trouble and hassle.

Now, this is simply a preparation for you in case you come across any acronyms, abbreviations, terms, and or words you’ve never heard before. Either that, or you just don’t know what the heck they mean.

So, if you seriously planning to take the freebie industry on by storm and collect free prizes – after prizes, knowing these terms, words, abbreviations, and acronyms will save you days of confusion and frustration!

So, get to learning these freebie lingos, my friend!

IFW – Incentive Freebie Websites

As a premier form of Internet Marketing and Lead Generation, Incentive Freebie Websites (IFWs) are websites which offer free prizes as an incentive for members to bring new customers to their sponsors.

In example:

If you wanted a free Macbook Pro or an Xbox 360 Slim, you’d have to complete one or more offers and then refer a certain number of friends to do the same thing. On some IFWs, you don’t have to complete offers. You simply engage in activities, whether it be searching, playing games, shopping, participate in contests, logging in, etc… for credits in which you can eventually redeem for prizes.

IFWs consist of GPT networks, DIYs, and general referral based free prize incentives. So lets talk about how some work and what they are…

GPT – “Get Paid To” Freebie Networks.

To it’s OWNERS, GPT freebie networks generate multiple streams of income from several mediums.

- Retail – Affiliate Sales – Ad space – Product Sales – Sponsorship

Because GPT freebie networks can generate so many different streams of income, they generally have a much larger range of prizes and activities to choose from. Prizes generally range from laptops and house hold electronics, to game consoles, clothing apparel, jewelry, and so… much more. GPT sites often credit you with points which can be redeemed for free prizes. some GPTs pay you in cash for every offer you complete and you can also receive a percentage of points and or cash from the activity produced by your referrals.

What makes GPT sites so popular in the freebie industry is the fact that it offers flexibility, meaning, you can receive credits or cash in SO MANY different ways. You’re not just limited to referring friends. ex;

- Swagbucks, will give you points for answering surveys, referring friends, completing offers, answering polls, shopping online at your favorite retailers, and participating in daily contests. You even earn points just for Searching the web (something you do as a hobby)… – and it doesn’t stop there!

- On LOCKERZ, you can earn points just for logging in, watching your favorite videos, playing your favorite songs, inviting friends, and even shop for the hottest gadgets, apparel, and more…

So all in all, GPT freebie sites offer the most flexibility around and depending on the site, you don’t have to complete an offer or spend cash.

DIY – “Do It Yourself” freebie reward networks.

You’re not required to refer anyone on DIY’s (Do It Yourself) freebie sites. You simply participate in surveys, offers, etc in return for credits. DIY networks are generally a bit tedious. Though you can earn cash rewards and or free prizes from DIYs, the work ethic is a bit time consuming; especially since you’re aren’t able to leverage off referrals. DIYs, generally aren’t very popular in freebie trading compared to Referral Basted sites and GPT freebie networks!

PRIZE – Freebies, Rewards, Gifts, etc.

Whether it be Laptops, Smart-Phones, Gaming Consoles, HDtvs, or even Paypal Cash Rewards, it doesn’t matter! Any gadget or product that is HOT on the MARKET can be given away FREE as an incentive for prospects (YOU) to try products and or services offered by the freebie site’s sponsors (Advertisements).

Once you complete your initial requirements, or earn enough points and or credits, you can claim your free prize!

Referral Link:

A referral link is a personal url that is immediately assigned to you the very second you register a new account on a freebie site. Referral links contain your specific ID in the form of numbers, letters, or even your user-name. These links will allow your freebie site to credit YOU when your referrals sign up and or complete an offer under your specific link. Referral links are like assigned I.P. addresses or college passes – except, your job and mission, generally, is to share your link!

Green:

In freebie trading, going green means you and/or your referrals have completed their offer requirements. It’s just that simple!

Forever Green:

Sites like, FreebieJeebies, and Git-R-Free only require you to complete your offer requirements ONE TIME, and ONE TIME ONLY. Once you’ve received credit, you NEVER have to complete any more offers on that site again. You can just keep earning as many prizes as you want. Now that’s potentially unlimited cash and prizes if you systematically develop ways to collect or attract referrals for little to no work.

Red 0r “Gone Red” – Frozen or On Hold Accounts:

Going red means you’ve potentially violated the rules or Terms of Service on your freebie site. So in other words, don’t cheat! Your freebie network is able to track all of your activity on your referral links. They can easily track where your referrals or coming from and even identify your I.P. address. I don’t care if you THINK you know how to get around the system, I would NOT RECOMMEND IT!

So if you’re making you tube videos claiming to have found a hack, if you’re trying to WALK your prospects THROUGH completing an offer, if you’re making false claims, if you’re trying to create multiple accounts, if you’ve been reported for SPAM, if you’re encouraging prospects to complete an offer and then cancel trial immediately after, if you’ve completed an offer and then cancel your trial obligation, if you… AAHHhhh THat’s Enough… you get the idea. Do anything against terms of service and or unethical, your account will be put on hold (Red Alert) and at risk of being shut down!

CC – Credit Card or Debit Card:

Though some freebie networks don’t always require offers or trials to be completed, most of the time, you’ll need to be ready to spend at least $5 to complete an offer. Credit or debit cards are excepted.

MCR – Manual Credit Request.

Sometimes, for technical reasons, you won’t receive credit after completing your offer. So, if that happens to you, you can contact support on your freebie site and submit a Manual Credit Request.
