How Can You Make Money Online With Freebies?
Mood:  a-ok
I'm betting that anyone reading this falls into one of 2 catagories:
1) Those that have heard and read about Freebie Trading
or
2) Those that know nothing of it at all.

This is going to be geared towards the 2nd group. However, I do encourage anyone in the 1st group to continue reading if you are still trying to decide whether you should try Freebie Trading or not. The following information may help you make that decision.

Freebie Trading is a legit way to earn some extra money online. It's not hard to do..I think of it as a fun hobby that pays..but it does take time at first due to research and a small learning curve. You will not get rich doing Freebie Trading, you won't make $1000's a day, and you can't "fire your boss". It won't give you a residual income with no effort. You will have to put time into it, whether it be part time or full time, to have a monthly flow of money coming your way.

Instead of hype, I'll give you realistic expectations of what you can do with Freebie Trading as a way to make money online (as opposed to those MLM and ponzi schemes out there). Working part time in this business can earn you anywhere from $200 to $1000 a month. If you choose to go at it full time and market yourself well, you could make what some of the elite Freebie Traders make - over $3000 a month.  In my book, that's a pretty good extra income to help in these troubled economic times. And on top of that, as I mentioned before, it's so much FUN!  

What is Freebie Trading? It's all based on those trial offers you see all over the internet - usually in you email or spam folder.  I am sure you know what I mean. Well, there are actually sites called  Incentivized Freebie Websites (IFWs) that host many of those advertisements in one spot. They offer free prizes like Xbox's, iPods, Wii's, and even paypal cash. The way IFWs work is that you sign up for the site and complete a certain amount of offers. When you fulfill the requirements of the site your account is said to be "Green." There are people who will actually pay you to do that as their referral to the IFW. That's the first method of making money: getting paid for your "green."

Then, you can keep making money (or earning prizes) by having people do that for you as YOUR referral. Each time you get a referral to go green for you at the IFW, you can cash out for money. Or you can get several referrals to go green for you and cash them all out for that cool Wii or Xbox. This is the 2nd method of making money: Getting paid by the IFW for your green referrals.

There's even a third way to make money: You can sell that Wii or Xbox prize on eBay

Why do IFW's do this? What's in it for them? It's simple really. They are paid by the advertisers to send "leads" for the products and services they are advertsing. That's the concept of the whole thing. Companies like Gamefly, Netflix, and Proactive want customers and one way to get them is to offer trials of their products/services. They hope by trying it, you will stay on as a paying customer after the trial. And let me tell you, there are some awesome offers to sign up for out there! Think about it - you can get paid to do Christmas shopping and birthday shopping! If you are interested in trying something out and maybe finding a great deal, why not get paid to do it, eh?

There is even this cool site that will give you mentors/guides to help you step by step from the beginning. Making extra money from home  is easy with Simply Golden Freebies (aka SGF) because you can pick a "friend" to mentor and guide you - they aren't assigned; you get to read profiles and pick who you think is the best "fit" for you. They are called SGF Friends.

I hope this has helped clarify the why's and how's of Freebie Trading for you. Remember, you won't get rich doing this. But if you want to earn a REALISTIC extra income online and from your home, then why not give it a try? You really can start off with only about $5 or less to cover some shipping charges on the trial(s) you sign up for. You can turn that into $50 to $100 in one day! You have nothing to lose except maybe some of those extra bills that are piling up.
