 | How to convince people it's not a scam!?I've tried many different lines, but some people are so stubborn to accept the possibility that it might actually be real when you're explaining it to them a referral site. Does anyone have any good techniques? |

but anyway, to your question.. i find the best way is to either offer to pay for them to complete their offer or if you haven't got any freebies yet, just get some cool gadget you have and pretend to them that you got it free they are the two that i tend to use :P Last edited by oXoDCoXo; 15-04-09 at 04:01 PM.. | |

| Well, Ive just signed up to freebiejeebies yesterday, but I have a few techiniques. 1.) Create a website explaining how it works 2.) gather 5 youtube proof videos of an unboxing of a gift 3.) If you already have a freebie, take a picture of it and send it via email to people you know. 4.) Show the the BBC proof video on youtube and show them this text... "It seems like a scam and looks like a scam, one of the hottest accessories being given away for nothing. where's the catch you ask, well there isn't one if you're a savvy customer...and it's not just iPods you can also get free flat-screen TV’s and computers..." "...the purpose is to get eyeballs looking at adverts, companies are willing to bribe customers just to try out their products...It's a sign of how desperate marketers have become to get new customers, that you don't actually need to buy anything on this site, all you need to do to get your free ipod is simply to sign up to a free trial and there are some pretty reputable companies here..." "So can the economics of this possibly work the customer gets a free iPod worth $300. In return the website has 6 people signed up to free trials, that's $50 each. The website then charges each advertiser a bounty between $30 to $70 for delivering each customer, so the website covers it's costs." "It's getting harder and harder, in other words, for a company to reach a customer, which is why they are prepared to pay them." 5.) Show them this video. Its about a magazine called T3. Inside there is a report on freebiejeebies. Link >> YouTube - Proof Video: T3 PROVES you get a free PS3, iPhone, xBox, Wii Hope this helps |

| I don't get how making a website works. You make a website, but how do you get people to find it? Googles ads thing makes you pay, like... |

It's a very lucrative method for those who know what they are doing and I know a fair few exceemers who have been sharpening/developing their SEO and marketing skills with their sites. | |

| I just feel that trying to convince somebody that it's not a scam by lying to them is just wrong, morally |

| Offering them money doesn't work, because they wonder why you would do that, leading them to believe they're going to be scammed if their not interested in free stuff there really isn't much you can do imo |

| i maintain that the best way for people to accept this is to explain exactly how it works. explain that technically these items are not 'free' - you are essentially hired by these companies to bring potential business to them, making you a kind of free-lance employee. online businesses often pay for potential business because there are no shop windows potential customers can walk past and these freebie sites just hook them up with you and take their cut. once they understand the nature of online business they will understand. by telling your friends about the network and/or building a website and promoting it all you are really doing is advertising their product for them - and of course nobody, whether a direct employee or an 'outsource' employee such as you and me, would do this for them without compensation/payment.

| 1: Make a website explaining everything about freebie sites. (How it works, what you have to do.) 2: Direct them to proof videos on Youtube or something. 3: Show pictures of items you have recieved. 4: Think of things that convinced you. Good luck! |
