Finding a sponsor is the best way to get started. The best way to start freebie trading and making fast money is to go on a freebie trading site and find a sponsor. Your sponsor will direct you to easy green sites, and will often pay you more money than a regular trader might. Sponsors are very helpful and will usually even give you their phone number and IM username so that they can walk you through the process step by step to get you going. They are generous and very kind to somebody who is first starting out.
Be Patient. Even offers that say they credit instantly may take a few hours, or even a couple of days. After a few days if the offer has still not credited you, you can submit a help ticket on the site you did the offer on. Be sure to save all confirmation e-mails sent to you from offer sites so that you have proof that you did complete the offer.
Keep Track. Keep track of all offers you complete because you can never complete the same offer twice. Keep track of how much it cost if anything, how long the trial offer is good for if there was a trial (just in case you need to cancel for some reason), what the web address was, and any other important details. Also keep track of the sites you have signed up on and gone green on, as well as the prize you chose, so that you can refer people back to the same sites later.
Always use real information. It is important to enter your real information. Be cautious when choosing sponsor offers to complete, and check online to see if they are fraudulent first. Most are legitimate but it is up to you to keep your information and identity safe by choosing legitimate sponsors. Always use your real phone number, e-mail, name, and address. Sponsors will check to verify these details, and if it turns out they are not correct, sponsors will inform the freebie sites and get you banned. If you're worried about SPAM in your e-mail, create a separate e-mail on yahoo and devote that e-mail just to sponsor offers and freebie sites.
Use your home computer. Sponsors can tell if you've signed up for the same offer before by reading your IP address. It is important to always use your home computer when freebie trading... even when just signing into a forum or freebie site to look around. If you sign in at school or at work or a free wifi spot, or even on your cellphone, you risk them banning you because they think you are somebody else who is using the same network to freebie trade.
Never SCAM. Never, ever scam somebody. Whether you are a level 1, or a level 2 trader, never ever promise to complete an offer, and then go back on your word. Always do what you agree to do.Keep yourself from getting scammed. Before you enter into a trade with a level 2 trader, make sure they are PayPal verified. You can also look at their feedback ratings. Feedback ratings are comments other people who have traded with the person have left after trades have been complete. They will tell you if the trader is honest or not.
There are strict rules in the freebie trading industry, for your protection as well as the protection of all parties involved. Follow them, and watch your money grow. Be sure to read over the rules for each individual freebie trading forum you join to prevent your IP address from getting banned from that site.
Read offers carefully. Don't just read the promotion offer headlines. Be sure to read the terms of service. Some people sign up for offers thinking they can cancel in a few days, when in reality the terms of service for certain offers state that you must pay a monthly charge for a minimum number of months before you are allowed to cancel. Do not plan on signing up for an offer when you are planing to cancel. Always sign up for offers you want to do so that you can honestly try them out. If it's not going to work out in the end, then it is OK to cancel if the offer turned out to be something else than what you thought.
Read credit qualifications carefully. Before you start a trade, be sure to look at how many credits you need to go green as well as how many credits each sponsor offer is worth. You will save yourself a lot of headache by checking things out before you engage or accept a trade agreement.
Moving up to Level 2
Level one traders generally make between $10 and $100 in their first few days before running out of offers that they can do. This is when they move to level 2 trading. Depending on how much work a level 2 trader puts in, they can make between $10 a day and hundreds of dollars a day. It adds up fast. Some level 2 freebie traders have done well enough to quit their full time jobs and stay at home.
