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 have been following the freebie business in the lasts weeks, you probably noticed some major changes in some of most important sites like the Project Payday.  This site was one the major traffic builder for one of the most important freebie forum on the web The Free Lunch Room also known as FLR. 

The Project Payday have decided the stop advertising FLR to advertise another freebie trading forum called Anything 4 free usualy called A4F .

The decisionof Project Payday  to change the forum they are suggesting is part of a bigger changement in their philosophy since the are also offering to join a NEW freebie forum own by Zollie M. Ferrell, Jr. (aka Zman) wich is call Net Income Solution or NIS . 

That change was known by The Free Lunch Room administrator since last summer and they have been preparing for it.  Even if it will be a big challenge to continue being the No.1 freebie forum on the web, the have presented today, March 18yh 2009,  some major and interesting changes to their forum.  Changement like partnerships with other forums to multiply the sources of traffic,  active threads, FLR congress, payment for FLR referrals and a new design.

See all the changes information annouced by the FLR admin below:

 1) Active Thread – whenever a thread has more than two people posting within a minute of each other, a topic becomes “Active”. When a thread is “Active” you don’t need to refresh your page and new posts stream in live as you are on that page. It’s hard to articulate the effect so I’ll let you guys discover it for yourselves. I’m sure you’ll witness the technology on this thread. If you want to go back to a previous page, you are still able to without the page constantly updating with the new posts. It’ll save all of the new posts for you in the bottom right corner with a link to take you to the most recent posts. If you’re viewing a subforum, all threads that are considered “Active” will have a little quotation icon next to the title of the thread. This functionality will be forum-wide except trading threads won’t have the icons next to them but will still function the same.

2) FLR Congress – I encourage many of you veterans that are passionate about FLR to run for a congressional spot. Being a part of the FLR Congress won’t affect your daily workload at all. You’ll be discussing and voting on major FLR decisions and I would guess that to be a once a month or deal. Most of the time you’ll just be listening to the people you represent and bringing those issues to me. FreeLunchRoom isn’t just my forum, I want it to be everyone’s forum and I think having everyone’s input will help make that feeling a reality not just for me but for you guys as well.

3) FLR Referrals – You’ll soon be able to refer people to FLR and get paid for it. There will be a minimum requirement of 10 posts and 1 TR for the user to count. But wait there is more. You’ll be able to see all of the members that you bring in and you’ll have the right to first contact with those referrals. So not only will you be able to make some easy change with bringing in referrals, you’ll also boost your TR while you’re doing it as well. Payouts will occur once a week for the previous weeks earnings. I anticipate this to change to daily payouts towards the end of April once we are able to gauge it and test it with the new traffic.

4) New Design – You’ll notice that many of the shortcuts have been moved into the drop down menu called “Forum Tools”. From there you’ll be able to access pretty much everything. You’ll also notice five color blocks in the header. We wanted to give you all the ability to customize FLR a bit so you can change the header and footer color schemes. I included the orange look for all of you members that were around when FLR was just white and orange! I’ve also got the old school green for those of you that liked the green. And of course I had to include hot pink for you ladies out there. There will be several minor layout changes with new subforums being introduced as well.

All these changes are pretty exicting and I encourage to discover it for yourself  here: The Free Lunch Room.com

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:
