Are Free Stuff For Real? Y E S!

I never ever heard of incentive sites until 4 years ago during the incentive site boom which I guess had to do with the housing boom. A friend of mine sent me a link and told me to sign up as my friend's last referral so she can finally receive her free iPod. I had my doubts but as a friend, I did it anyways. A week later and to my surprise she received her free iPod and a free T-shirt to show off and that was when I knew incentive sites were legit. So I did a little Google and found sites that were created to help people complete their freebie sites by either swapping sites or paying others to be their referrals. It sounds crazy but that's the only real effective way to complete incentive sites because the only other ways would be if you have a site that receives a ton of hits and post your link or if you beg and beg your friends and family to sign up which is not likely going to happen anyways because people are doubtful. It's free but you do have to put work into it but most people don't so they quit and call it a scam.

There are 4 steps to completing an incentive site:

1. Sign up and complete an offer
2. Refer others to do the same
3. Once completed, pick your free gift
4. Receive your free gift

In my first year of swapping incentive sites using one of the sites that I use to swap trades, I have made over $7,000 in freebies and cash. It sounds great but be warned, there are risks so my suggestion to you would be to only do sites that are considered Grade A and trade with other traders that have a long history of being legit traders and have a high trade record. The mistake that most newbie traders do is that they become so excited that someone wants to trade with them that they would accept trades from everyone including other newbies which are most likely scammers with new accounts to scam with. So please proceed with caution.

Here's a list of sites that proves incentive sites are legit and will help you complete your own incentive site so check out their forums:

Santa to the rescue!

It was suddenly announced on Friday, November 21st that the freebie network FCA Net Inc owned by Charles Edgar would be shutting down on the same night. All users who wanting to cash out or redeem their gifts are requested to put in their requests by 11:59:59 PM. Talk about short notice. FCA's sudden closure is definately a big shock and it is very likely that over half of its users did not make the deadline so they are not going to be very happy about that. It is sad to see the network go after being achieving a grade B site status over the course of 3 1/2 years but it only proves that incentive sites are too much of a burden to be run by only one person and personal matters do not help the situation either. Goodbye FCA...and hello Santa! Out from the ashes of the financial crisis comes a whole new network ready to step up and play with the big boys. SantasGiftsAllYear.com boasts a workforce of 12 and offers a variety of gifts to choose from or even hard cold cash. Santa's here to stay all year long and he has something for everybody regardless whether you've been good or bad.

Cyber Monday Trumps Black Friday

If you're missing out on Black Friday sales because you didn't want to camp out or camped out too late then don't you worry your pretty little head too much because Cyber Monday is only a couple of days away. It sure beats wasting your days away waiting in line in the blistering cold because best of all there's no lines! You can find more savings on Cyber Monday than from Black Friday sales and you don't have to worry about being trampled to death by a mob of anxious shoppers. Bless that Walmart employee's little heart.

Do you cyber?

Thankful Freebie Network Empires

Thanksgiving is the time of year that we should be thankful for whatever reasons so I'm going to give a list of freebie networks that are should be thankful for still existing among the huge number of incentive sites nowasdays. Many networks came and many fell apart and a few continue to stand tall and worthy enough to continue to participate in.

Still on top A list sites and legit worthy:

Free4me continues on top
Trainn continues to please
123StuffForFree standing up with the big boys
V-Bux holding strong

Fall from grace sites that went from A list to not legit scam worthy:

Free4Every1 sudden fall from grace and continues to not pay out

Other grade sites that fell down a notch:

OrderCash4Free still hanging in there
OffCentric still hanging out with the scammers
GiftFiesta straight up scammers
Freepay still holds to grade D but still hold happy

That is all I have to share with you today because there are too many networks to list now so I will only name the big players. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

A Wet Black Friday

Thanksgiving will not only be wet on the west coast here but also Black Friday as well. As technology becomes cheaper in price and more available, Black Friday is like a blissful heaven for tech fanatics everywhere but the festivities aren't just for the tech lovers, it's also for shoppers of any kind because certain places will be giving out free stuff to the first crowds of people in line! Different stores offers different promotions and different Black Friday deals so check out Black Friday sites to find the one that's for you. Although with the rain, it would totally suck to be camping out in the cold rain but on the bright side, it would deter others from camping out and stealing the deals that you want. I can deal with laying on the pavement but I cannot deal with a wet pavement. The choice is yours although with the economy nowadays you will continue to find Black Friday deals even after Black Friday.

Risk catching pneumonia or spending the holidays without an illness?
