Read this page carefully all the way through before starting.

This page deals with the information you'll need to have before starting. I know it's long, but please read it carefully all the way through and ask me about anything that is unclear before proceeding. It is actually a pretty simple process but it really pays to be well informed and to know exactly what you are doing before you begin. And I repeat again, make sure you have read EVERYTHING  before asking me questions. It's only fair, that way I dont have to answer questions that are answered already on this site.

Requirements

The requirements for doing this are very minimal. You will need:

1) A PayPal account ( If you don't have one you can get one for FREE @ Www.PayPal.Com)

2) A valid credit or debit card ( Preferrably NOT a gift-card or pre-paid card)

3) A home phone number

4) To be a resident of the US or Canada

That's it. It helps if your PayPal account is verified. Having a verified PayPal account means that you have linked your bank account to your PayPal account. For instructions on how to do this, log into your PayPal account, and click where it says "Status: unverified".

Terms:

My terms are quite simple, here is an example of what the terms might look like on our first trade:

-I will receive from you: Green From You on Www.40.Forcebucks.Com

-You will receive from me: $20 in PayPal cash

***If you are PayPal verified and confirm the trade in the trade manager on FLR you will be paid immediately on green, otherwise I will pay you on approval. You agree to refund me if your account on the freebie site gets put on hold for any reason after I pay you***

Green = You have signed up and met the offer requirements of the site.

Approval = The order for my prize associated with your account is approved by the site.

These are very standard terms that every trader requires.

How to avoid getting placed on hold:

Getting your account on a freebie site placed on hold, known as "GOING RED", is something you very much want to avoid. If you go red, I will not be credited with your referral unless the hold is lifted, and will very likely demand a refund if you have already been paid. You will be placed on hold if you violate the freebie site's Terms of Service. It's a good idea to read the terms of any site you sign up on, though most of them have the same or very similar terms. Listed below are the main things to do to avoid having your account placed on hold:

*Never sign up for the same site more than once. Only one account per household is allowed on any given freebie network. If any two accounts are created or accessed from the same IP address, both accounts immediately get put on hold.

*Never sign up for the same offer more than once.

*ALWAYS use your real information such as name, address and phone number.

*AOL and other proxies are NOT allowed. Please Copy/paste  the following link into a new browser to check if you're using a proxy or http://www.lagado.com/proxy-test

*Always provide the same email address when doing offers that you signed up on the freebie site with. It's a good idea to create an email account specifically for your freebie site accounts and doing offers with as you will get advertisements (spam) sent to that email address.

*Never sign up for an offer, then cancel it right away. This is considered offer fraud. Always give an offer a fair chance, and if you are going to cancel it, wait until at least several days before the trail period expires.

*Never work from a publicly accessible internet connection such as a library, cafe, or work place. Any two accounts accessed from the same computer, network, or IP address will be placed on hold (usually permanently). Always work from home or other internet connection that is inaccessible to others.

Things to know about doing offers

Nearly all of the offers you will have to choose from will require your card number, even if they are free trials. If you don't cancel within the allotted trial period you will be charged the regular subscription price for that offer. I have signed up for many of these offers myself and have had no trouble canceling within the trial period. The freebie sites I work with are all very reputable and refuse to run offers from companies that will charge your card fraudulently or make it difficult to cancel. I can tell you from personal experience and from working with  referrals under me that these offers are legitimate and everything is 100% above board.

However, you must read the Terms of Service and any other terms listed on the web site for each offer that you do carefully. Any charges you are responsible for, and specific cancellation instructions will be listed there clearly, so pay close attention and make a note of them. You also must keep close track of the offers you do so that you can cancel within the appropriate amount of time if you decide you don't want to keep the product or service.

I recommend getting a calendar, and writing down the offer on the date you will cancel should the offer not appeal to you during the trial period. If this is something that is difficult for you, consider carefully whether you want to engage in this because failure to cancel offers can end up being very expensive. To help keep track of things, you may want to look into one of the many spreadsheets that traders have developed. You may download them by visiting the following thread on the FLR:

Pay attention to the offer's cost, credit value, and stated crediting time. You should be aware that even offers that claim to credit instantly often take several hours or even days to credit, and can even take longer. It's also true that occasionally, despite doing everything correctly an offer will not credit. No one likes it when this happens, but it's something that must be tolerated now and then by everyone who does offers for any length of time. It doesn't really detract that much from the overall profitability of the system though, and the best thing to do after having waited the appropriate amount of time, is to send in a Manual Credit Request (MCR) if the site allows it for any offer that you did not get credit for, usually then it credits for you. SO KEEP ALL CONFIRMATION EMAILS AND PRINT ALL CONFIRMATION PAGES ( yes even PRINT the confirmation page, I will speak from personal experience when I say, I did an offer, got NO email but lucky printed that page out, and I was proof and I got credit.)  Sometimes it is best to just do an extra offer when you have to, but only after giving the first offer ample time to credit first.

Another thing to consider as that offers for products often have a shipping charge associated that is not listed in the offer ad. So if you see an offer that says 'free', but it involves a physical product that must be shipped to your house, you can figure that there is a shipping and handling charge associated. Offers for services however generally only cost what the offer ad claims (such as 'free' or '$1 trial'). In any case, any shipping or other charges will be clearly stated when you go to the sponsor company's web site to complete the offer, or in the offer's Terms of Service.

The last thing to be aware of when doing offers is that occasionally, even free offers will make an 'authorization charge' in the amount of the regular subscription price. This charge shows up temporarily as pending on your card, but drops away before it is finalized, usually within a few days at most. These authorization charges are not common, the vast majority of offers do not employ them, but some do, so it's something to be aware of.

Doing offers is only necessary in the beginning stage of this business:

Remember when I said on the first page that you have to earn your money? Now you know what I was talking about! While some people think doing offers is 'fun', they become tedious and the process gets old very quickly. However, completing offers is not where the real money in this business is. Sure you can make some quick cash doing offers in the beginning, but it's not a sustainable income because you can only do each offer once, and so you will run out eventually. I was ready to quit doing offers after I went green on 8 sites (about 25 offers) though I had made about $150 in profit.

The beauty of this business though is that you don't have to keep doing offers in order to make money, and in fact much better money can be made after you quit doing them. This is done by simply getting your own referrals to complete the offers on the sites you have already completed. You see, once you have met the offer requirements on a site, you can then send referrals there yourself and collect the cash prize from the site over and over again. That's how I am able to afford to pay you $20 for completing the offer requirements, because I'll get paid $40 for you being my referral.

So you can see that it's a lot simpler to just pay a referral $20 and make $40 back than it is to mess with doing offers. This will become more and more apparent as you do more offers, though it often seems easy enough when you first start. What you want to realize is that the money you make doing offers is nice, but not really the main point. The main value of doing offers is that you gain accounts on some sites that you can then use to send referrals to, and also you gain experience not only so you can guide your referrals effectively, but also so you aren't asking them to do something you yourself have not done personally.

Even after you 'jump the fence' and start paying for referrals yourself, you still have to earn your money, but it is a lot easier. All you have to do is find ways to advertise (I will show you how to do that too), and also spend time communicating with your referrals. This business is not a passive income by any means, and it's always the case that you will get more out of it when you put more time and effort into it. Most people that do this are  very happy with having achieved a $1500/month income from doing this part time.
