Rules to follow for Freebie Trading

Yes, there are rules for Freebie Trading. Keep in mind that the companies that will be paying you, the IFW networks need to ensure they will get paid by the advertisers that you complete offers for. As such, when you complete a registration and offer at an IFW they will perform certain validations to ensure that they are not being frauded upon.

1 - You should only complete offers that you are truly interested in. Many offers have trial periods, you should ensure that you try the offer/product/service/other for the trial period. For example if a trial is for 14 days, you should try the product for at least 13 days before cancelling. If you cancel too soon this could cause you to go "red" and cause the IFW to not get paid by the advertiser.

2 - You will need a credit card to complete offers. There are some free offers but even those usually require a credit card for after the trial period is over. As long as you cancel before the trial period, no charge should appear on your credit card.

3 - Supply real information! (including home phone number)

4 - Do not sign up for an offer more then once.

5 - Do not use a Proxy. Proxy check is available here.

6 - Ensure to have the appropriate browser setup.

7 - Only one account per household. Signing up for an IFW with more then one account at same household is considered fraud.

8 - You must be at least 18 years old.

That is all in terms of rules, pretty simple rules for the earning potential of Freebie Trading.

Method 1 - How to Successfully complete an offer

If you have not read my first post, please read it now - What is Freebie Trading.

It is very important to know how to successfully complete a referral. Please read through these instructions carefully, if you have any questions, please contact me. Note - even if you follow these instructions, you could still have an offer that does not credit properly. Do not worry I can help you fill out Manual Credit requests as required.

How to Successfully complete a referral.

  1. Ensure that you have setup your web browser (cookies enabled, pop-up blockers disabled)
  2. Close down all browser windows
  3. Start up your browser
  4. Delete all cookies (Firefox: Tools - Clear Private Data - Ensure Cookies are checked)
  5. Click on or paste the referral link into your web browser window
  6. Register with the site
  7. Pick the offers you are interested in. Read the terms and conditions for the offers. Choose multiple options to reach credit requirements as sometimes offers do not work. Write these down.
  8. Do NOT sign up for any offers at this time. Just choose which offers you want to do.
  9. Log out of the site, close browser
  10. Open your web browser, delete cookies again & all data
  11. Log Back into the site and go directly to the first offer.
  12. Complete the offer
  13. Let the offer confirmation page sit there for a while after you complete the offer. This gives the site enough time to process the offer properly.
  14. While you are waiting, write things down.
  15. DO NOT touch your browser windows. Just let the page sit there for a few minutes
  16. Take and save a screen shot (alt-print screen; paste into Paint; Save file) or print the confirmation page from the offer you completed.
  17. Go back to your window or tab for the IFW site (e.g. GRF, ZNZ, v-bux); Click on Status - see if offer credited; click back on Complete Offers wait till page loads fully; Click on Status again - see if offer credited.
  18. If offer has not credited, leave the computer for a while. Come back and go back into IFW site for status to see if credit is ok.
  19. I recommend that you WAIT for the offer to credit before doing the next offer. Do not delete your cookies on the offer until it has credited.
  20. When the offer has credited, you can repeat starting at step 10 "Open your web browser..."

On Step 19 - I have learned my lesson with regards to this. I used to do an offer; wait a little while ; delete cookies and do the next offer because I was eager to complete my offer requirements. Little did I know that by doing this I was deleting my proof / the cookies. This is why I recommend that you leave all your cookies alone until you receive credit for the IFW site. By using the technique above, I successfully completed several offers in a row with no crediting issues. (I will post about MCRs - Manual Credit Requests in the future)

Required Setup for Freebie Trading

When you are starting out with Freebie Trading, you be doing what is called Method 1. Method 1 is when you get paid to be a referral and complete offers. There are some things to know before you get started with Freebie Trading and Method 1.

Requirements for Freebie Trading:
  1. Must be at least 18 years old
  2. Must have a computer and Internet connection
  3. Must not use an Internet proxy (see below for how to check this)
  4. Must have a valid credit card - this is used to complete offers
  5. Must have a paypal account

Tips before starting Method 1:

1 - Your web browser needs to be setup so that it accepts all cookies and it allows pop-ups (no pop-up blocker). Cookies are how the IFW tracks that you completed an offer.

I recommend Firefox as a web browser for Freebie Trading:
  • Tools > Options > Content > Uncheck "Block Pop Up Windows"
  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Check "Accept cookies from sites"
2 - You need to have a verified Paypal account (this is how you will get paid). See instructions There are no costs to setup a verified Paypal account.

3 - Verify that you are not using a Proxy. You can use this Proxy test to determine that.

4 - Get an organization spreadsheet.Contact me for a spreadsheet

Free Lunch Room

You may have noticed the image to the left of the page promoting Free Lunch Room.

What is Free Lunch Room?
Free Lunch Room is a Freebie Forum. It is the place where you can find people that will pay you to complete offers and also the place where you can find referrals to complete offers for you. In short it is a forum and a community of people that are wanting to make money with Incentized Freebie Website (IFW) networks.

Free Lunch Room is like eBay for freebie trading. It even has a rating system for every trade you complete with positive, neutral or negative feedback - very much like the eBay rating system.

Free Lunch Room is how you connect to people that will pay you to sign up to a site. And is how you find people that will sign up for sites for you.

What is Freebie Trading?

I was introduced to freebie trading about 2 weeks ago. It is quite an interesting process and is an easy way to make money online. Don't get me wrong, you will need to work at it but you can make money on the first day .

So what is it?
  • There are sites called IFWs that pay you money to complete offers and find them a referral. (e.g. try a product/web site/etc) Payment can be $20, $40 or higher
Wait you say, you don't have a referral - No problem. I will show you how to get some.

Here is the interesting part:
  • People that are looking for referrals, will pay you money to join an IFW and complete an offer. I will pay you for a referral.
Here is a real life example which I completed on my first day
  • I agreed to be a referral for someone, they would pay me $25 to complete the offer
  • I signed up via the referral link that they sent me
  • I completed an offer for $4.95 (Trial for a product)
  • The referrer paid me $25, so my profit for this transaction was $20
Do you see how easy it is? Contact me I can help you get started to do this.
