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.
