International Freebie Sites – Blogging Part 3

The number one question I get when I speak to bloggers about freebie trading seems to be: “I don’t live in the U.S. or Canada. Can I still do Freebies? The answer to that question is . . . maybe.
Most Freebie Sites cater to the U.S. and Canada. However, there are some sites that cater to the U.K. and Australia. Unfortunately, if you are from another country, you are not able to do Freebies at this point. Here are sites that allow U.K. and AU users:
Git-R-Free

• CashRewards: Cashrewards Git-r-free – 1 Credit (I pay $20)
• Cleaning Supplies: CleanRup Git-r-free – 1 Credit (I pay $20)
• Video Games: VideoGames Git-r-free – 1 Credit (I pay $20)
• Apple Products: Apple Products Git-r-free – 1 Credit (I pay $20)
• Kitchen Supplies: GooderThanGrits Git-r-free – 1 Credit (1 offer) (I pay $20)
• Lawn Mowers: CutTheGrass Git-r-free – 2 Credits (I pay $40)
• Gas Grills, Hot tubs, Pools: MyBackYard Git-r-free – 2 Credits (I pay $40)
• Computers: Computers Git-r-free – 3 Credits (I pay $60)
• Scooters, ATVs, Go Karts: GetAround Git-r-free – 4 Credits (I pay $80)
• Diamond rings: MakeRHappy Git-r-free – 5 Credits (I pay $100)

It is important to not that the ones that I pay more on require more offers. I would recommend starting with 1 credit sites (easier to do).

Freebie Sites that cater to a wide variety of Niches – Blogging Part 2

So you read yesterday’s article on Why Every Blogger Should Consider Freebie Trading. That is something I really believe. You see, it can be a difficult thing to start making money online. However, when you can show someone in their first day that it is possible to make money, it gives them the motivation to move on. If You’re a blogger, then seeing that initial spike in income can be a great motivating tool to give you that extra push you need to keep going.
I also told you yesterday that I would be showing you sites that cater to a wide variety of Niches. I have to keep my promise, so here goes
How It Works
I’m assuming that by now, you have at least glanced at my Freebies 101 course. However, I will still give you some idea here of how the system works. It’s pretty simple:

1. You register at a freebie site and complete the required amount of offers (go green).
2. I pay you for your green
3. You refer others to complete offers.
4. When they go green, you get paid and you pay them.

Lets talk about how this can work for you. Lets say your blog topic is working out and being fit. This seems to be a big topic in the blogosphere recently. You encourage people to work out on your blog and explain them the benefits of having a bowflex home gym. However, it would take a lot to convince them to go out and buy a home gym. Instead, you take the Freebie Approach.

1. You Register at Getskinny Git-r-free using my referral link and complete 2 credits worth of offers. You can actually do this by completing 1 hosting offer (as an example)
2. I pay you $40 just for going green.
3. You promote Getskinny Git-r-free on your blog and tell people they can get a Bowflex home gym by completing 2 credit worth of offers and referring 9 people to do the same.
4. When they go green, you can CHOOSE to pay them 50%, OR any other amount you choose. When they go green, you get paid $80 from the site. That’s $80 per person. Now isn’t that a SWEET deal?

Now let me tell you about the wide variety of things you can get at freebie sites by giving examples of things you can get:

• Cleaning Supplies: CleanRup Git-r-free – 1 Credit
• Video Games: VideoGames Git-r-free – 1 Credit
• Apple Products: Apple Products Git-r-free – 1 Credit
• Kitchen Supplies: GooderThanGrits Git-r-free – 1 Credit (1 offer)
  
• Lawn Mowers: CutTheGrass Git-r-free – 2 Credits
  
• Gas Grills, Hot tubs, Pools: MyBackYard Git-r-free – 2 Credits
• Computers: Computers Git-r-free – 3 Credits
• Scooters, ATVs, Go Karts: GetAround Git-r-free – 4 Credits
  
• Diamond rings: MakeRHappy Git-r-free – 5 Credits

What about me? My Niche isn’t mentioned
No, I didn’t leave you out. There are too many niches to mention. If you have a niche that isn’t listed here, leave a comment and I will try to find a freebie site for you (just subscribe to this post and you will know when I get it). HOWEVER, even if there isn’t any, there is always a “Custom Order” option. On ANY site, you can submit a Custom Order for ANY product you wish. You can do this by just sending them the name of the product you want via a support ticket. They will reply and let you know how many referrals a person would need to get in order to receive that particular product. It’s a beautiful thing.
So there you have it, everyone can do freebies in a way that it’s beneficial to them. Questions? Comments? I want to hear them

Why EVERY blogger should consider Freebie Trading – Blogging Part 1

One of the big problems many bloggers face is the issue of how to monetize their blogs. Yes, blogging can be a great hobby, but there are many people out there, myself included, who are doing this to make some kind of income.
When I started blogging a few months ago, it was for a few reasons. Yes, I wanted to help people out with valuable information so that they could start making money online and have a trusted source that they could go to. That’s been one of the most rewarding aspects for me. When I wake up and see that there have been a few more comments added to my blog, I get excited and anxiously go to the comments to try to respond to each comment individually.
However, since I started this blog, my intention has always been to set it up in a way that I can make a decent income from blogging. This has worked so far and I really enjoy that aspect of Blogging also.
A popular way of monetizing blogs is by promoting affiliate products. This is a very attractive method because they don’t have to worry about creating the products, and there are systems in place so that the blog owner doesn’t have to worry about having an infrastructure in place to handle the orders or handling inventory, since this is usually taken care of by the creator of the product. For example, I promote hosting with Lunarpages and provide people with free mentoring websites if they sign up using my link. I don’t take care of technical support of the hosting account, I just get paid for referring them people. It’s a beautiful thing.
The problem that many bloggers have is that even though they promote affiliate products on their blog, they make only a few sales every so often. The challenge that they face is convincing their audience/readers that the product is something they should purchase.
Many bloggers are able to do this well and even make a six figure income and more just from promoting affiliate products. Howeverm, you will find that many of these bloggers have mailing lists with tens of thousands of people subscribed. Although this is the goal of many bloggers, there are still many that just barely make it with enough cash to maybe cover their hosting payment.
How Freebie Trading can help
Freebie Trading is a great industry that is a relatively new one, when it comes to making money online. There are entire communities that are centered around this topic. For those of you that do not know what freebie trading is all about, I recommend going through my free Freebies 101 course.
The great thing about freebie trading is that you have an extra tool to convince your readers to jump in. The simple fact that you will be paying that. I know what you are thinking – “where do I get the money?”. It’s pretty simple, if you make $40 on 1 referral, you pay that referral $20. If you make $100, you pay them $50. It’s a win-win situation. Not only that, you can show them how they can turn around and start making a decent income using the freebie trading model.
In addition to being a freebie trader from your blog, you can also join communities that cater to freebie traders, providing you a place to get referrals separate from your blog.
Ok Leslie, but I don’t blog about making money
I knew that’s what some of you would say, and that’s the beautiful thing about the Freebie Industry. It’s not all about money. Many freebie sites offer Free Products that range the gammot from Cash, to ipods, vacuum cleaners to scooters, Workout equipment to diamond rings. Anything you can think about, you can find on Freebie sites. Best of all, you can show people how they can get those products simply by completing a few trial offers and referring others.
In other words, instead of trying to sell someone an expensive product, you can basically show them how they can work towards getting one for next to nothing, in addition to paying them a portion of what you make each time you refer someone. I mean, I was able to get a Free ipod touch and 40 inch Flatscreen TV.
Can you see how that can be a little more convincing than trying to sell someone something? So if you haven’t gotten into Freebie Trading as yet, I would recommend doing so now.
