Self Promotion Offline Tip #10

You should always keep track of your offers and organizations because you can only do a specific offer once! If you sign up for an offer on one site then you cannot sign up for it ever again on any other site. Doing so would be committing fraud because you would then create multiple accounts for that particular offer which is against the rules.

*Also Some of the offers brought to us are hosted on these Freebie Sites by the same company called Pacific Webworks and lots of these offers look attractive to do because they tend to be cheap trials. The rule is that you can only ever do a specific offer once BUT you can also only ever do a Pacific Webworks offer once too. It will say within an offers Terms Of Service if it is brought to you by PWW and you should be checking the TOS on the offers anyway!
Here is a list of some of the offers by PWW (and remember you can only pick one of them to do ever!):

Self Promotion Offline Tip #9

It is important that you do not cancel an offer just after signing up because it may be considered as committing fraud so please try to choose offers that really interest you and give them a fair trial. If you are not satisfied completely then you may go ahead and cancel your trial offer. Remember, if you do an offer with intent to cancel then it is fraud and a company can usually tell if you cancel too quickly without trying their service or even receiving their product. A trial period on anything means that you actually have to try the service or product.

#9. Contact your local area Welcome Wagon or Welcome to the Neighborhood Group! Ask them about you leaving mini catalogs, fliers, business cards, discount coupons, freebie mini gifts, etc with them.

They are always looking for additional items to place in their Welcome Bags!

Self Promotion Offline Tip #7

In case you haven't read my past posts, due to fraud, you must use a valid credit card or debit card with your name on it in order to do offers. The only exceptions is if they allow you to write a check or use Paypal. Yes, once again fraud has ruined things for everyone. So yes, you can no longer use prepaid credit cards or virtual cards from Paypal anymore. In the past, some users used prepaid for safety while others used it to commit fraud. The reason for valid credit cards only now is because advertisers want to be able to withdraw your funds and also to verify that you are who you say you are. Yes, they can tell if your credit card is a prepaid card or not but they cannot tell the difference between a Paypal plug in and Paypal debit so if you're Paypal then it could go red.

#7. Join your local area chamber of commerce! They are always holding local business events that you can participate in.

Self Promotion Offline Tip #5

It is very important for you to tell the truth when you sign up for any freebie site and complete offers in your name and with your correct information. People do not realize but freebie sites and advertisers will verify your information to see if your information is true and correct in order for them to prevent fraud so if you do decide to input false information or even a typo then it could cause you to have your account placed on hold and will prevent you from receiving your free gift. You probably didn't mean any harm but networks will not receive your joke as lightly and you will pay for the consequence of your actions. Networks like SantasGiftsAllYear have implemented a new module on their sites to prevent fraud against users which does require you to input your phone number to receive an activation code. Reasons for high security all lies on fraud, so do us all a favor and don't do it!

#5. Daycare Centers! They are excellent to contact and leave business cards and/or fliers at!

I print out a flyer of just a few items from our Tupperware Childrens line and I attach my business card & a discount coupon. I get alot of orders by doing this!

So whatever company you represent, find some items that cater to children or to moms and make up a flier!

Prepaid Credit Cards Are Not Allowed

In its earlier days, before all of the fraud occurrences, users were allowed to use prepaid credit cards to complete offers which was good for those that did not trust advertisers or incentive sites. Although incentive sites have no access to the information that you give to advertisers while completing their offers. Some users were using prepaid credit cards for safety while others were using prepaid credit cards to commit fraud and scam others. Due to the high number of fraud among prepaid credit card users, advertisers decided to not credit users that use prepaid credit cards to complete their offers so if you want to obtain your credit then you are now stuck with using a real credit card only. Although some advertisers may allow you to use Paypal but other than that, you have no other option anymore. This is a good reason why you should not commit fraud on freebie sites because you will ruin things for everyone including yourself because falsifying information may cause you not to receive your free gift!

Cash Site vs Referral Site

There is another difference between what is called a cash site and a referral site that most people would not know about. Yes, obviously one has something to do with cash whereas the other has to do something with referrals. One thing that you may not be aware of has to do with the list of offers you can choose from. Some companies will not allow incentive sites to place their offers on a cash site so in a sense, cash sites have limited offers. The reason for this is because advertisers are protecting themselves against potential fraud among users. Sites offering cash rather than gifts are more likely to be hit with fraud because it takes less time to send cash than an item which allows companies less time to catch fraud. When it comes to catching fraud, time is of the essence. Fraud may not always be caught at first because it depends on when the fraud triggers alarms. Fraud is a major killer of most incentive sites which really ruins things for everybody including you, the one committing fraud. It is illegal and you may be prosecuted.

Alpha Omega Oh Mama!

It has come to my attention that a long time incentive site will be closing its doors officially on December 15th,2008. It has been around for years but unfortunately it has been forced to shut down. The owner, Benjette has not released as to why she is shutting the site down but for most sites, it is mainly due to scammers and users committing fraud and of course personal reasons. Fraud really ruins the freebie market because fraud may not always be caught at first so some scammers are able to cash out before it happens and when the affiliates notice the fraud that went on the affiliates would ultimately revoke the credit that was given and thus refuse to pay the site owners which ends up as a double whammy loss to the site owners. You may think that you're only really screwing the site owners over but really you're screwing everyone over including yourself because you will be marked and banned as a scammer and some networks will go and prosecute you for committing a crime. Anyways, back to Benjette, her site AnyGift4Free has settled as a grade B site and have given out a number of freebies. I have completed a few AnyGift4Free sites myself so I am sad to see it go. Thank you Benjette and AnyGift4Free for everything you have done!

In spite of it all, another incentive site has announced its revamp in motion. Peter of Free4Me has announced that Free4Me will receive a whole new face lift and will be moving to a whole new system. I wonder what this new system has in stored for us all! It has been announced that all pending referral credits have to hurry up and obtain their credit because only credits will transfer over to the new systems. You will keep your greens and your referrals so don't worry! As long as they receive credit that is. So hurry up and get those referrals to green!

Absolutely Free Offers

Most offers that are worth doing do require that you be 18 or older and have access to a credit card. However, there are offers out there that do not require the use of a credit card also known as non CC offers. The only downside is that you would most likely have to do a few non CC for it to be equivalent of one CC offer. For instance, there can be an offer that would credit you 1 full credit for completing that one offer whereas you might run into non CC offers that would only credit you 1/4 credit. So in order to obtain one full credit and moving one step closer to obtaining your free gift, you would have to complete a total of 4 non CC offers for that one full credit. Non CC offers usually asks you to sign up for a sweepstakes, complete a survey, or sign up for a site. They're fast and easy and won't cost you a penny. The choice is yours but remember you have to input real information otherwise you would be committing fraud and you accounts will be put on hold.
