a slight change..

i was thinking , the people who benefit in the end the most are the freebie company or the offer company, so lets say someone decided to set up a site like freebiejeebies , how would they get hold of the offers so that people can do the offers and they get money

the offers are freely available to people but what you will normally find is that you will get a better rate for each sign up with the freebie site than you would if someone just did an offer for you.

e.g. if someone does a lovefilm offer through FJ, it's worth £17-£20 to you but if someone did the offer directly for you, you will get less.

oh right, why is that though?

Firstly, the rate FJ get is higher because the rate goes up the more people you get to do an offer, and FJ will obviously have thousands.

Secondly, the rates offered take into account a number of other factors such as people signing up, completing an offer, but never getting any referrals - FJ still get money from them but never have to pay out.

The actual business model behind it is more complicated than it seems.
