The Freebie Guide - How to Get Free Stuff

Does it Really Work?

2007-09-18T18:02:00.000-07:00

Believe it or not, there are sites that will give you these items and much more for free, but they do not advertise like the scam sites do. You could click on an ad take your chances trying get an item from these ads, but most likely you would end up spending a huge amount of money! The goal of this website is to tell you which of these sites are worth your time, how it works, and which site offers what.

If you're anything like me your going to be really skeptical at first (the idea of stuff for free isn't easy to get your head around) but I going to be honest with you - Essentially, these sites work like this: You sign up, you're presented with a list of advertisements (for example to get a free trial of AOL or Netflix, or to try a product sample of dog treats), and you have to sign up for one of the advertised offers. You try the product/service (with no obligation to buy), and the advertiser pays the freebie site a good chunk of money, usually around $40, for the referral of a new (potential) customer. This is how these sites can afford to send you expensive items for free, because they make a lot of money from the advertisers. You can read more about how the sites work by reading my How Do The Afford It post.

Now, if you think you may be interested, first be sure that you don't get ripped off. To find a legit offer, scroll down further or view my Legit Sites post. All of the sites I have listed are legit - but as I said earlier you don't just get sent a free Xbox 360, you have to complete an offer (some are free e.g. Join eBay) and then refer a few friends and then yes, you will get your free gifts.

Here's a video from 7 News on how how it all works:

How Do They Do It?

2007-09-12T18:16:00.000-07:00

So what do I get?
Well you can choose basically any gadget you like, they vary from Xbox 360's, PS3's, iPhones, iPods or just hard cash! You can be from any country if you join the sites I have listed Below.

How to They Make Money?
How can companies afford to send you free stuff? Well the 'Freebies Industry' is actually a huge business sites like GetRewardz are huge companies and have sent over 1 million dollars of Freebies away.
But don't you worry they make money to

How Do They Do It?
How do they make money? Well here's how it works:
1. Lets say you choose a PS3 from one of the Freebie Sites, lets just say GetRewardz
2. You signup and to be eligable for your PS3 you only have to complete 1 offer and refer 7 of your mates. Easy enough
3. Lets say the offer you choose is signup to a free account on Bidz.com
4. So you do, and when you do Bidz.com pays GetRewardz $50 as they have just got a new customer which could potentially make them money
5. So you've completed you free offer as all that is left is refer 7 people and you've got your free PS3
6. So you ask 7 of your mates to signup to GetRewardz under your name. Each of them complete an offer and again GetRewardz make $50 from each of them
7. So in total GetRewardz made $50 x 8 (You & 7 Mates) = $400
8. They Purchase PS3's direct from the manufacturer for about $275, $125 profit
9. You receive your PS3, your happy, they're happy - its win-win!
So essentially you not getting the gift for free - your giving up your own valuable time, and if you do paid offers it will cost you a few bucks

And thats essentially how these sites work. You get free stuff, they make profts - everyones happy!!!

Ok you know what you have to do and how these sites work now all that's left is actually doing it.

Their are heaps of sites that brag free stuff out their but keep in mind some many are scams, I have tested and researched into theses sites and found that the top 6 are (click on them for their full review):

Of the hundreds of Freebie sites their are these are the best 6, all of them are completely reliable (some have sent over $1 million of free gifts!) and once you've done you offer and referral you'll will receive your gift normally within 7 days (overnight if its cash via PayPal!)

Each of the sites require you to complete an offer and refer a few friends, depending on you chosen gifts will depend on the number of referrals required
e.g. $40 cash is 3 referrals whereas $400 is 5 referrals (on somethin4nothin)
The offers vary some are much easier than others and some cost you a few dollars and others are free. Its entirely up to you which offers to do but I always go for the free ones or ones that only cost you $1 - $10 (its totally worth it for $500!)

Description: V-Bux is a freebie site offering freebies like iPodTouch's, 3rd Gen Nano's, Cash via PayPal and even custom orders. To get your freebie all you have to do is signup, get 1 credit and refer a few of your mates. There are heaps of offer to choose from I did the blockbuster online one.

Rating: 10/10

Overall: V-Bux is the best freebie site around. You can be from any country and getting your free stuff is easy. This is a MUST Signup!

Xpango Review

2007-09-06T21:02:00.000-07:00

Description: Xpango is another great freebie site very similar to GetRewardz. Basically you choose your free gift (ranging from iPods, Xbox360's, PS3's, Cell Phones etc) and then you must complete around 5 - 6 offers (most of which are free) and they will send you free stuff!

At first I was very skeptical about this site at the idea of getting a free gift. I signed up thinking I've got nothing to lose and chose an iPod Nano as my gift. I completed a few of the offers and referred 3 of my mates. 7 days later I received my free Nano, I can't believe it! (I will post a pic soon)
You have to do a few more offers than RewardzNetwork but their are also way more free offers so it doesn't really matter.

Xpango has the best interface of all the freebie sites and brags shipping worldwide and very promptly. When you signup you choose you gift and told the number of credits require to get it. The Nano I chose was 10 Credits. You get between 1 - 5 credits for each offer and 1 credit for every referral. This is great as you can do as many offers as you like don't have to refer your mates if you don't want to

Signup Link: http://xpango.com/fe/htm/login/register.asp
- If you use 90762001 as a referral it would be most appreciated!

Rating: 10/10

Overall: This is another Must Signup. You can usually get you free gift in an afternoon (or even less if you do high paying offers), and within a week you'll receive you free stuff. It's a really great way to get all the latest gears.
There's no such thing as a free lunch, right? Maybe so but there's such thing as free iPods, Mp3 Players, Wii's, PS3's, 360's, iPhones , Cell Phone's on Xpango! So signup NOW!!!

Toys4Free Review

2007-09-05T23:14:00.000-07:00

Description: Toys4Free is another great freebies site. However it only allows users fro the US to complete offers (other countries are allowed, they just have to refer more people). I really like this site as although its relatively new the customer service is great. If you have any problems about anything you can contact them and they will sort it out.

To get your freebie you have to complete 1 offer and refer 7 friends which isn't hard at all. There are quite a few offers to choose from, there are heaps of completely free trials - like a free trial of blockbuster, AOL etc. Other offers do cost a few dollars but are totally worth it.

You can choose from a number of gifts (Users outside the States can only choose cash via PayPal) and gifts are sent very promptly. PayPal is usually done within 48 hours!

Payment Proof: Can be viewed HERE otherwise do a google search about it to see other peoples opinions

Signup Link: http://toys4free.com/

Rating: 10/10

Overall: Despite being relatively new to the net Toys4Free is a good reliable site with excellent customer service and very fast payments. So if you wanna make some quick cash (or a cool gadget - iPhones, iPods, 360's, Ps3's etc) sign up to Toys4Free by clicking HERE!

OfferCentric Review

2007-09-05T21:42:00.000-07:00

Description: OfferCentric is the company behind FreeiPodTouchOffer, one of the largest freebie sites on the web. This sites essentially the same as the others above only the prizes are and iPod Touch (the new iPod) 8GB or 16Gb or Money via Paypal - $275 or $500. Again I have received money from this site (see Payment Proof) and it is just as good as GetRewardz , the only downside to it is all the offers cost money (only $1 for most). I did an offer called Driving4Dollars with required just a $1 payment. Like the other sites it requires you to do just 1 offer and then refer 7 people for your iPod Touch or $275 cash!

Signup Link: http://www.freeipodtouchoffer.com/

Rating: 9.5/10

Overall: This site like the others is totally awesome it only costed me $1 and I got my 'free iPod touch' (well not quite free). I received it within a week and my offer credited instantly. Needing only 7 referrals is not that hard, just ask a few of your mates because its so worth it! So signup now!

BonusGreen Review

2007-09-04T21:57:00.000-07:00

Description: BonusGreen is yet another freebie site that is 100% legit. The gifts it offers are only money via PayPal and is available to all countries. It is great because there is a minimum of only 1 referral and you can cashout whenever you want after completing 1 offer and getting a referral. Depending on how many people you refer will vary the amount you'll get paid. 1 referral and 1 offer will get you around $70! 7 referrals and 1 offer will get you around $500! Most of the offers cost a few dollars but not all. I signed up to some web hosting for $10 and got 5 referrals and got paid $250 a day later!

Signup Link: http://bonusgreen.com/

Rating: 9/10

Overall: This site is really good as it requires minimal effort. Its very easy to get say 3 referrals and doing an offer for $2, and you'll get paid $175 just for doing it! I did my offer and got the referrals in about 1 hour, and since they pay via PayPal you normally get paid withing 48 hours! If you wanna make some quick cash BonusGreen is the way to go so signup HERE!

Somethin4Nothin Review

2007-09-03T22:07:00.000-07:00

Description: Something4Nothin is a relatively new freebie site. It's been around since February 2007 and has already given away around $20,000 worth of gifts. Again cash is the best gift available here as it is the fastest and most reliable. If has the most offer available out of all the sites above and many work for all countries (30+ offers). It also pays the most for each referral - it pays you $80 each referrals (e.g. 3 referrals = $240). It has a minimum of 2 referrals and pays $160 to do so. The downside is you have to complete more than 1 offer - you need 2 credits and to get your cash and each offers pays between 0.3 - 1 credits. The free offers pay around 0.3 - 0.4 credits. I ended up doing 4 offers to get my 2 credits - 3 were free (joining eBay and 2 free trials) and the other costed $6.95 (some skin product free trial). If you wanted to save some time some offers pay the full 2 credits but will cost you around $20 (and because I'm cheap I just did the free ones)

Signup Link: http://cash.somethin4nothin.com/

Rating: 8/10

Overall: Despite being relatively new to the net somethin4nothing is a great fast growing, great customer service well paying freebie program that is definitely worth it. Even though you have to complete several offers its worth it as you get way higher referral payouts ($80 each!). So if you wanna make some quick cash sign up to something for nothing now by clicking HERE!

Tips & Tricks

2007-09-02T19:27:00.000-07:00

There's a few thing you should know to ensure your referrals and that the offers are credited:

Top Offers - Easy & Instant
I always find it easiest to just do offers that credit instantly and give the full credit. You don't have to but it will mean you'll get paid faster. I also like to choose the more well known advertisers (even if it's gonna cost $1 more, what's that compared to what you'll receive!). Stamps.com is always good as it credits pretty much instantly and is entirely free. Other good offers are: Sign up to eBay, AOL free trial, NetFlix free trial, Bidz.com (you have to buy something but will only cost you a few bucks, BlockBuster Online (costs $10), Driving4Dollarz (costs $1 but credits fast). You can choose from any offer you like but the ones I just listed are reliable, cheap/free, and normally gets you a full credit

Don't Try To Beat the System
Firstly, don't make more than one account or use more than one account on each computer, this will get you banned!

Clear Your Cookies
Secondly when completing offers be sure to delete you cookies first - tools - clear private data - cookies. This will ensure the offers are credited as it makes it easier to be redirected. Very, very occasionally there may be an error and you won't get credited for an offer you completed, but as long as you can prove to them you did they will credit you - So take screen shots if your worried about this happening (it happens very rarely)

IE or Firefox
To ensure your offers a credited it is recommended that you use either Firefox or Internet Explorer as they are reliable with affiliates and cookies

New Email
I always like making a new email for each site I join, this makes it easier to keep track of things and avoid spam

Follow these simple steps to ensure you'll receive your freebies more promptly!
