All right, after reading about the business of freebie trading, you are finally ready to complete offers?  To go green and make some money… GREAT! HOWEVER, there are some things that you NEED to know in order for you to get credit and turn green. Because If you do not get credit, you do not get paid. 

Why? 

One thing that you need to know is that the entire crediting process is all about COOKIES. Cookies are simple text files that get stored on your computer, and serves as a means of communication between sites. In order for the freebie site to know that you completed the offer, the offer site needs to transfer a cookie to your computer, which is then read by the Freebie Site and you get credited – a process that happens automatically.  Because affiliate company don’t know that you’ve completed an offer they won’t pay the Freebie site Network, then if the network is not paid, the referal won’t turn green… if the referal (you) doesn’t get is green he won’t be paid because the referer (me) won’t be paid by the Freebie Site.  (get the idea?)  GOOD!

In order for your computer NOT to act like a cookie monster and eat your cookies so that you don’t get credited, lets talk about what you need to do to set your browser up for crediting success. 

TIPS ABOUT COMPLETING OFFERS

1.  It’s a Good idea to use Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. Other browsers bring unnecessary issues.  (Firefox in the most suggest browser to use)
2. Set your browser to accept all cookies. 
3.  Disable any Popup Blockers and Anti-Virus programs.
4. Before completing your first offer, you must CLEAR COOKIES and re-login to the freebie site. Then complete the offer.
5.  After completing the offer, leave browser window on the confirmation page for 10 minutes. That will allow the browser record the confirmation page information…
6. If you aren’t credited instantly or within the specified time, do not panic. It takes a while sometime. Also, there is a risk that some offers will not credit there is no warranty. In some cases, you can submit a Manual Credit Request (MCR). However, most sites are moving away from this because of the amount of fraud that arises.
* NOTE: YOU DO NOT NEED TO CLEAR COOKIES BETWEEN OFFERS AS LONG AS YOU ARE WORKING ON THE SAME FREEBIE SITE. IF YOU START ANOTHER SITE, YOU NEED TO CLEAR COOKIES. SO ONCE AGAIN, LET ME EMPHASIZE, DO NOT CLEAR COOKIES BETWEEN OFFERS!

 That’s Pretty much it. As long as you have done the steps listed above, you should be fine. If you (for some reason) decide to use Internet Explorer, I have some instructions below on clearing cookies in Internet Explorer.

Clearning you Cookies with Internet Explorer
IF you choose to use any other browser these are the instruction to clear your cookies in Microsoft Explorer

Internet Explorer 6

·     Select “Tools” > “Internet Options” > “General”.

·     Under the heading “Temporary Internet files,” click on “Delete Cookies…”

·     Click “OK” for the “Delete all cookies in the Temporary Internet Files folder?” prompt.

·     Click “OK” to exit.

Also, I recommend that you start with free offers or offers that are inexpensive ($1 trials or so). If you do this, you will spend less than $5 to start, and everything else will be from your profits. I also recommend that you look for offers that usually credit instantly, or in a relatively short period of time.

 Happy Greening!

When deciding to jump into freebie trading the most common mistake is to start completing offers without being organized.  It is very easy to forget about trial offers we’ve completed and then being charged the full subscribtion monthly fee because we forgot to cancel before the trial ends. 

It is also fairly easy to spend to much in comparison to what we are being paid to go green.  Well, this is why I’ve putted togheter a simple and easy to use tool that I like to call “The perfect FreeTrader’s organisation sheet”. 

It will allow you to input all the required infos about the freebiesites you are working on, the amount you’re being paid, how much you pay for completing offers, some statistics on your trades on so on…  and it’s your’s for FREE!  YUP… simply leave a comment to request it and I’ll be glad to transfert it to you! 

So be good and work smart!

Like in any legitime industry  rules are  important to preserve the security of the traders (you and me). In order to minimize the risks of being scammed or frauded by malicious people the Networks who offers these freebies have sets a few simple but obligated rules to be absolutly observed by the people who wants to start freebie trading.  Since these Networks (IFW sites) are making their money by getting the greatest amount of people to complete the offers available from their affiliates companies, they want to make sure their sites are as secured as possible.  So if you are interested in starting freebie trading here are the rules you will any to observe:

1. You must be at least 18 years old
2. You MUST have a PayPal Account (becoming verifed is better). If you don’t have one, you can sign up for one by clicking here: PAYPAL
3. You MUST have a valid home phone
4. You can NEVER do the same offer twice
5. You MUST use real contact information
6. You can NOT use a prepaid card, or a Paypal Debit Card.
7. Only 1 account allowed per household. DO NOT let anyone else register from your home, or you will be put on hold and won’t be allowed to get your free gift.
8. AOL and other proxies are NOT allowed. You can find out if your internet service uses a proxy by clicking here. If it says that you are using a proxy, you may NOT use the services.

These rules are installed in order to protect the traders, the freebies sites and the affiliates companies represented by the IFW sites.  They seams very strict but they are important for the securtiy and the well being of the freebie industry. Happy Trading!
