How clearing your cookies will help you GREEN!
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!
