Introduction to Freebies

Freebies or incentivized affiliate marketing came to be about 2003. This type of marketing was a great idea to give away the iPod. Since the first iPod giveaways the industry has grown tremendously. How can i really get this for free? Trust me this is the question everyone asks and i even asked myself when i found freebies in 2008. Freebies really is a easy process to learn, that's why you can look on YoutTube and see people from all over the world opening up free gifts they have received from various freebie networks. Freebies in general is a way for major companies to advertise and actually get people to try their products or services.You know large companies and corporations pay greatly for advertising well they pay for generated leads in our business. This business is basically a way of affiliate marketing. What might you ask is affiliate marketing? Well an affiliate is a company that works with the those major companies and a company who host these offers .In the freebie business we call a company that host these offers IFW sites. IFW: Incentivized Freebie Websites. Now how does free stuff get involved? For every offer completed these major companies will pay the affiliate company for that lead, the affiliate company pays the IFW's site owner for the offers completed hosted through their sites and the IFW's give away great free stuff like the iPhone4, iPad, iPod Touch, Macbook, Xbox360 Slim, PS3, PSP Go, Nintendo Wii, 3DS, Flip Video, HDTV's, laptops, netbooks and even Amazon Vouchers or iTunes cards. Most people don't even realize that this type of system exist that's why I'm trying to share freebies with the world! Now on to the offers, yes some of those are free and some are low cost because its a free trial and you only pay for shipping and handling. Just some of the major companies that have offers available are NetFlix, LifeLock, CreditReport.com, GameFly, Magic Jack, LoveFilm, HSBC and Intuit just to name a few. Would you be willing to try some of these great offers in return be able to get free stuff from the IFW's yourself? I hope your answer to that question is YES! If not you are missing out on this great opportunity to get anything you want for free. There are many different IFW networks but I only provide the biggest and the best in the world. IFW sites can be setup in 2 ways. First is a 1 offer site. On a 1 offer site you only need to complete one of the sponsored product or services offers for your account to go green (meaning your offer credited to your account). Second is 1 credit sites. Credit based sites give each offer available a credit weight or percentage for that specific offer and in order for your account to go green you will need to complete 100% of the offer requirements. On some credit based sites there are offers that are 100% credit so you could only do 1 offer on that site but you more than likely need to complete 2-3 offers to add up to 100%. Now how to get started in freebies you can start right here! First you will want to pick your desired free item from. Next you will click that item and then sign up to the IFW site. Once you have signed up you will be taken to the offers page. Now you will need to complete your offer or offers. Once you have completed your offer or offers and they credit to your account you will be green. Once you are green you can now send people under your referral link to complete offers for you. Each gift will have a required number of referrals you need to send under your referral link in order to receive your that gift. Once you have enough green referrals for that prize you can place an order and get your gift shipped right to your door for free.

Zip Nada Zilch / All Freebie World

This is the best freebie network I have ever seen. This is a US based freebie network. Best thing is there is a sister network to Zip Nada Zilch called All Freebie World they both have the same owner. You can always count on these networks because they offer guaranteed crediting on all their sites. Customer service is second to no one. PayPal payments ship daily. Prizes and giftcards are shipped promptly but how fast I'm not sure. With Zip Nada Zilch and All Freebie World all I've ever gotten is a lot of PayPal payments. You can't do anything but make money with these great networks.
