Affiliate marketing programs…are they just scams?

affiliate-marketingThey’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.

Why should I do Freebie Trading?

make_money_onlineWhy should I do freebie trading?… Mmm, that is a good question.  

Well, let me tell you about what got me into this amazing  and lucrative activity.  I actually got into freebie trading by accident,  I was trying out another online business (like I told you before I did try different programs) and someone introduced me into  Project Payday 

 At the beggining I was VERY skeptical and I didn’t sign up right away…  I actually felt like it was some kind of scam.  But being a open minded person by nature I got back into this site and I requested the FREE  infos.  Step by step I got into this business, very slowly at first… like a blind person trying to find his way in a new unknown area.  But as soon as I put time and confidence in this industry, reading about what it is and watching the tutorial videos available in the member section I realized that I was missing a lot of money or prizes available to me only because I didn’t know about it. 

 Once you’ve  joined Project Payday  you will be invited to  a great community at  The Free Lunch Room Forum  where you will be able to discuss with other people about the freebie industry,  finding tips and tricks from other users as well as starting to trade and earn money.

 Now, why in the world should you care about trading freebies?  Well for some person it might be because they wish to earn an extra income to help paying the bills at the end of the month, for others it can be because they wish to find a way to work at home (like a stay at home mother for instance), it can also be only to receive money and prizes for cheaper than what they cost in store.  It can even be to make some gifts for people that you care about.

 Let’s look  at what is very easily achievable when you start trading freebies and how much you will  need to spend in order to receive your prize or money.

 Step 1:  Joining a Freebie Site from a referal link of mine like:  Cash.zipnadazilch.com or CashRewards.Git-R-Free.com

Cost: Free

 Step 2:  Completing offers to complete the site requirements  (go green)

Cost:  Can be FREE or very cheap (up to 5$) but you will be PAID 20$ BY ME to do so. Your net profit is: 15$ not very much but still it’s yours… ;0)

 Step 3:  Refer other people (friends, family members, anyone living in the USA or Canada) to complete referals on your freebie site to receive your gift from the IFW site. Let’s say you’ve selected a 40$ paypal cash prize, you will have to find only 1 referal that complete the site requirements (go green) to receive it.  It is normally understood that people are paying to find referals (usually 50% of the prize value).

 So, your COST to find a referal will be: 20$

 Now let’s do the maths…

 Method 1: You first spend 5$ to complete offers, I paid you 20$ in your payal account you now have a profit of 15$ dollars. 

 Method 2: You spend 20$ to find a referal and receive 40$ from the freebie site, you make another net profit of 20$.

 Total profit: 35$

 If that is not NICE I don’t know what it is…

This post really summarize’s the concept of freebie trading, it’s only to show you how you could be making money trading freebies.  There is some simple but  important rules to follow. See how at: www.freebietrader.ca .
