What Is So Special About Freebie Trading?

Different methods of making money online come and go, but the Freebie Industry is an absolute anomaly. Freebie Trading is a very simple process, and has been around for a long time.

Freebie Trading hasn’t caught the eyes of the Internet Marketing gurus, and has somewhat been an “underground” method used by many stay-at-home moms, students, and those just trying to make some extra money online.  I supplement my current income by Freebie Trading part-time. It’s an easy way to make money, and it’s fun.

Freebie Trading isn’t one of those flashy “Make Money Online” schemes; it does require you to put in some effort and time if you want to be successful. But you’re not alone; there are several online communities, with over 175,000 members, that help each other by sharing information, advice and different techniques so we can all be successful.

How is Freebie Trading Different

The Freebie Industry brings a twist to affiliate marketing: it adds an incentive component to the way affiliate marketing is done. That’s one of the reasons it’s very viable, has a lot of potential for growth, and will continue to grow in the coming years.

There are several factors that will contribute to the continued growth and success of the Freebie Trading Industry:

  • Affiliate networks must continue to evaluate the advertisers they approve for their programs, and remove those that prove to be risky.
  • Freebie site owners must hold users accountable, and enforce the rules that were created to prevent fraud and abuse.
  • Freebie site users should complete trial offers that they are interested in. Of course, you don’t have to keep  the offers you try.

Get Paid To Try Stuff

Freebie Trading gives you additional incentives to try products and services that may be of interest to you, risk-free. I‘ve signed up for several offers, made money from them, and have kept many. Some of my favorites are:

  • FreeCreditReport.com
  • Book club offers (my wife and daughter love reading)
  • 12in1 Vitamins (I take these daily)
  • Reunion.com (I love this offer; I’ve reconnected with high school and college friends)
  • DreamHost (the server that this blog is hosted on)

I recently used one of the offers to send my wife Valentines flowers. Those are just some of the many offers you can try and profit from.  Some sites has over 400 offers, so you will find many that match your interest.

I do believe that if all the stakeholders in the Freebie Trading business, Affiliate Networks, Freebie Sites, and Users—continue to do their part, the incentive offer industry will continue to grow.

  • Great post Chris,

    It is very true that this industry will continue to grow in the upcoming years. I hardly see why affiliate marketing would stop. If crediting could be better it would definitly help to make this activity grow.

    Yep, getting credit faster for offer you complete is another thing that will help the industry continue to grow.
