Tips On How To Get Greens For Free?

[tomhylands]

Hi im new to the freebies and im wandering whats the best method of getting greens
Thanks Tom.

Welcome to the world of freebies! I find the most easiest and simplist way of getting greens is to pay people through something like paypal which is instant.

You normally pay someone about £10 - £15 to do it, but in this instance, lets say you pay them £10; £3 for signing up and the remaining £7 for going green. Easy enough and you will rarely get conned as for going green they get most of the cash..

However, most people trade for greens, but I dont really think this is good as you tie yourself down into other offers and also it stops you from advertising yourself for that particular site if you see what I mean..

Hope this helps mate..

No its not mate...it is the most efficient of ways in terms of the yellow:greens ratio but costwise, I don't agree with the principle of it. If I was to pay money for my freebies, I might as well save a bit more and buy the thing instead of waiting for all this approval and STV nonsense.

I will use it for 1-2 greens maybe to complete a site, but I wouldn't base my whole strategy on it...

This seems like a pointless thread to me.

Helping out a newbie is a crime now is it?

All the regular methods are documented in the how to get greens section. Anything more than that people wont tell you, as everyone likes to hold on to their own " special method". Don't take it so personally.

[rockykabir]

Exactly...the "How to get Greens" section is there for a reason. It is all a bit pointless to discuss without looking at them first (they are quite straightforward).

My point being is that I disagree with people's notion that the only way to get greens is through trading. It is one way for sure but I feel this mentality will put newbies off the whole free scene.

The secret to all this, is persistence with your multiple methods. Work at it and you will get results!

Use the forum - thats what its there for!

[holybatman]

Ahhhhh, multiple methods. Shweet.

[holybatman]

As a more helpful note... the old ways seem to have changed. Amazon is useless, Ebay is too dangerous. Manual methods are eratic.

Page links and banner hosting seems to be the way to go...

I haven't done eBay in ages....thinking of beginning again soon to help with the greens. It is the most effective way imho...

Hmm... eBays a no-go for me as I used to do something similar and got suspended for 30 days, and now when I try and list a listing about a free iPod they end my listing without anyone even seeing it! Thats how tightly marked I am!

[spikedpeak]

best tip for any newbie - read a lot of other threads first and then start posting! there are some tightly wound folks stalking around this forum who will give you a hard time for doing something "wrong" - I stumbled in my first few days... forum etiquette is a funny thing
