beginners guide to the freebies!

dman · 04-04-09, 04:33 AM

hi, am i looking into starting my career with the freebies

does anyone have any advice on which networks would be the best to start on?

i have read kudos and fj are the best

also can anybody give me any hints that they wish they were told before starting out?

i'm still reading as many threads as i can and i'm not signing up to a network until i have exhausted every avenue and every question in order to make this as successful as possible

many thanks

personally I would go with freebiejeebies, Kudos are prob just as good but I havent had much dealings with them.
FJ I have been using for about 12mths and have prob had close to 5k worht of goods if not more, support tickets are answerd very quickly and Alex and Richard are very efficent and flexible with orders and problems.

Tbh I dont think anyone could have a bad word to say against them.

i know patience is the name of the game here...

and i thank you for replying to all my threads, its much appreciated

are there any other tips you would give to beginners?

by what you've written (receiving over £5k worth of gear) u are clearly experienced and know wot ur doing

many thanks

I gotta agree with Harv, FJ are the best and def the most quickest at sending out the freebies and support ticket response speed is sometimes 'spooky'

I too have had around 5K in just over 2 years - A website is a must (even tho I neglect mine

)
You won't regret joining fj

Good luck mate

thank you very much for ur input

all this information is perfect

do u suggest i learn to walk before i can run or whilst i am enthusaistic is it better to go for the big boys toys?

claire80 · 04-04-09, 10:13 AM

both kudos and fj are good imo , i tend to use fj more but have just recently tried kudos and cant fault them

i would recommend picking a site that has a range of gifts ie gadgets or gifts rather than a specific site ie ps3 /hdtv as you have more products to market to people ie you can advertise an ipod or a ps3 or a 360 etc and there fore have a wider audience

if you havent signed up already i would suggest when you have chosen which site you are going to use to join via a conga (read info section ) or as a trade where someone will pay you to join that way you and someone else can benefit

I would def start off small - in the way of a Ds Lite (5 refs) or Wii console (8 refs). When you have got ur first freebies then the freebie scene 'owns you'

You will be addicted and will also get a great buzz when it turns up at your front door

Gifts or Gadgets sites are perfect as Claire said

I use Kudos and cant fault them at all, I am suprised no1 has mentioned the super effiecient Giveaway network, lol.

The best way 2 get greens is thru trades. about 80% of mine are trades.

dman · 04-04-09, 06:28 PM

if im not mistaken (just need this confirmed), does 'trades' for greens not then restrict you from trying to do that offer for yourself in future once u have swapped greens with someone else

so in theory u have to pick strategically which ones to trade etc?

for example if u were thinking of doing the ps3 offer yourself one day u would refrain giving someone a green for their ps3 just to get yourself a green on a smaller product like a shuffle

Hmm, I think you're getting confused (or I am lol!). Trading 'green for green' means that you sign up to an offer for them (like Lovefilm, Coral etc) on a site of their choice, and in return they complete an offer for you on whichever site you have asked them to.

If say you complete the Coral offer for them on the site they choose, this means you won't be able to do the Coral offer again on another site - so if there are a limited number of offers you can do then basically you need to make sure that the site you complete an offer on for the person is a site you might want to use yourself. All referral sites need you to complete your own offer as well as getting referrals, so by trading with someone, you will get your offer completion on a site and you will then only need to get referrals.

You can also trade 'green for cash' which means you can pay someone to complete an offer for you in the trading section.

thanks again, so when i complete an offer myself does that count as one green towards ur target too? or is that just what you are required to do to then start building up referrals

No, your own offer completion doesn't count towards the referrals you need. But you need to complete your own offer to receive a gift.

Ahh. Thanks guys. I was a bit unsure about trading and using up the opportunity to do an offer but this makes sense to me now. Cheers!

gilljoy · 22-05-09, 10:04 AM

yea getting greens is abit tricky, i've only gotten 1 yellow so far and i cant see that turning green.

as everyone says websites are probably the best way to go, only i jus need to make one n im kinda crap at it, but shall try anyways

Jevans91 · 03-06-09, 05:00 PM

I think I'm going to start on Fj, it seems to have the best reputation right about now and I've seen the guys that run it a few times on here so I know they're ProActive!
Thanks for the advice ^^

rhysjones_1 · 03-06-09, 05:35 PM

RI are also a great network!
IMO unless you have a method theres no point starting small
my first gift had been the majority of what I've got so far

the joker · 03-06-09, 09:16 PM

Unfortunately i can't join Fj i'm not a resident of UK or US
