The FreebieTrader’s Blog

They’re existing since decades but these days, with the help of the internet, affiliate marketing programs are almost everywhere. From the smallest company who whish the find new clients to the largest corporation that wishes to strengthen her trademark, a lot of business are willing to pay to spread the word about their product and services.

Since it cost nothing to join these programs and because there is no need for any office and schedule, a growing number of individuals are taking an active part in this home based kind of online business. Some people will spread the news by starting a blog about the subject while others will target more on social medias like; Facebook, Yuwie, Twitter, Linkedin, MySpace and much more…

Will these individuals get paid? Most of the time, yes! In fact the portion of the amount that the affiliate company is paying is usually part of they’re advertisment budget, so if they find new customers they are in fact using these funds wisely. In reality thought what tend to happen is that most of the people who are trying to make some money with these programs don’t have enough knowledge or skills about making money online and don’t know how to market these programs. They end up making very little money, or no money at all because they are not able to reach the minimum payout required to receive they’re check. They end up giving up on the affiliate programs they’re promoting and leave the money on the plate… in which cases the affiliate company wins. But can we call this a scam for real?

Other type of internet businesses are also using affiliate marketing strategies to encourage people to spread the word about their activities. It’s in fact the case of a forum about making an income online with freebies. This website is Calistyle101 this forum is the first of is kind to offer affiliate earnings to it’s members in the freebie industry.

The freebie industry, also called IFW (Incentive Freebie Website) have been one of the greatest way to earn money online in the last years. All related to the affiliate marketing industry, there is no need to advertise the businesses who are partaking into these programs in order to make money. The only thing you need to achieve is to complete some easy requirements and find other people to do the same, then you will receive a commission paid by the freebie network. If you wish to find more about the process you can read more about it at: Calistyle101

Today I want to share with you a great experience I’ve learned and this is all about creation.  I realized that who ever we are we all have the abilities to create, therefore to change our reality for the better as well as the reality of the people we care about.  See what I’m talking about in the video here:

What freebie trading has to do with this statement?

Well, it is a tool available to anyone that wishes to add a stream of income to make the reality of his lovely ones better.  Of course it takes a certain amount of dedication, patience as well as abilities to learn and apply an easy step by step process. 

Even if Freebie trading isn’t the only way to earn an income online,  it is certainly a REAL and LEGITIME business that can earn you a great additional stream  of income.

Welcome to the wonderful world of FREEBIES and FREEBIE trading!

I compiled a list of things I have found most helpful in this business as well as ‘must do‘ things in the freebie trading world. 

Things to do PRIOR to starting…

1. Create a new email account: Use this new email account solely for this business. Yahoo and Google (gmail) both offer free email accounts. Once you start signing up on freebie websites, you may start getting more email than usual. If you have an account specifically for this purpose, personal email won’t get lost in the shuffle.

2. Single out one credit card: To complete most offers you will need a credit card. I have one credit card that I use exclusively for this business. It makes it easier to keep track of charges. You CAN use a debit card as long as it has a visa/mc logo. You CANNOT use any sort of prepaid credit or debit card. You CANNOT use a gift card. You also CANNOT use paypal plugin.

3. Paypal Verified: If you don’t already have one, sign up for a paypal account and get verified. Not all trade partners will require you to be verified but some do!

4. Use FIREFOX: Firefox seems to be the best browser to use to insure receiving credit for offers.

5. READ READ READ: Read as much as you can about the freebie business,  the FLR forum is a great ressource. There is lots and lots of very helpful information.

YOU ARE NOW READY TO TRADE!!!  

It is time to find a trade partner. You can find a trade partner in a few ways on the Free Lunch Room forum; 

Creating a new thread in the LOOKING TO COMPLETE OFFERS section and choose someone who responds to your thread.

Search the PAYING FOR REFERRALS section and find someone you are comfortable with.
Read all over the forum and click on the signature of someone you respect to view his/her trade thread.

Once you and your trade partner have agreed on a trade follow the next steps…
