Self Promotion Offline Tip #19

One thing that I do love about freebie sites is that they do simply pay for my gifts to others which is really helpful for birthdays and Christmas. I can get myself a Nintendo Wii bundle without having to pay over $5! Wouldn't you want to do the same? You can do it too. Think about it, a Wii bundle on most sites requires about 10 referrals because bundles are about $500 and since you only have to complete one offer which can be as less as $1 and the rest is up to your referrals to complete. A Wii bundle for $1 sounds sweet doesn't it? But it's true! If you don't like obtaining referrals then you can always do a DIY site and complete 10 full credit offers yourself which can cost you as low as $10 which is still pretty sweet. Freebies are totally sweet!

#19. Contact Companies in your area to see if you can come in and set up a table in the employee lounge or cafeteria for a employee shopping break! These days alot of companies will allow you to do this if you ask them!

Tax Season

Freebies may be free but that doesn't mean you can skim Uncle Sam because Uncle Sam still wants to be paid regardless. If you receive over $600 from any given network in one calendar year, you are required to fill out a W-9 form which can be found from the IRS website. Networks will not send you anymore gifts if you have passed the $600 threshold and have not submitted your W-9 form. So keep track of your earnings and submit the appropriate forms.

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!

Santa's Staying In the US For Now

Apparently it was just an unfortunate false alarm due to the FAQ page on the SantasGiftsAllYear's DIY page stating that the DIY site was open to all countries which has not been removed from the page. As I have previously stated in an earlier post, the worldwide site was closed and now has been reborn as the DIY site but does not accept international users as of yet. The DIY site still possesses the 10% referral earnings so that's a plus. I am guessing it won't be long until the site will be back to being a worldwide site. So for now, everyone outside of the US just has to wait for Santa to come knocking.

Custom Gifts

As you may know, there are a ton of incentive sites out there and each catering to a certain genre of gifts and not all sites and networks are repeatable. With sites and networks where you can only do each of their sites once, what happens when you want to do a certain site but do not like the gift that is being offered? One word, custom. Most sites have the option of allowing you to choose your own custom gift if you do not like the gift options. For instance, let's say you signed up for YourPS34Free from Trainn but do not want any of the PS3 options but you want your free gift. You should open a support ticket requesting a custom gift of the same value. So let's say your earned PS3 gift was about $500 so you could option for an iPhone instead. So don't think that if you sign up for a certain prized site that you are stuck with limited options.

Referral Bonuses

There are a few incentive sites where obtaining referrals will benefit you in more than one way. The typical sites will only put you one step closer to obtaining your free gift. However, there are a few networks out there that will give you another added incentive in obtaining referrals. Not only will you be one step closer to your free gift but also you will earn 10% off from your referrals! So imagine this, you're cashing out $100 and in order to obtain your $100 you need 2 referrals and they also want $100. When they cash out on their $100, you will not only get your $100 as well but also an extra $20 on top and so on and so on. It's extra money in your pocket without all of the extra work. It sounds great to me but of course the choice is up to you.

The Countdown Begins

There are great deals that are happening left and right and for most of us money is pretty tight nowadays. Don't we all need a little more cash in our pockets? We certainly do but have no fear because Santa baby is here! Santa is giving away free greens which certainly means free cash for you because you would not need to do any offers yourself thus saving you time and money. Santa can send you your money via Paypal and you can continue shopping away and buying gifts for your loved ones.

Santa baby!

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.

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.

Santa wants you!
