Freebie sites ship thousands of products each year, but how do they continue to afford this and how can you really get your very own freebies? This section details how the legitimate freebie site makes a profit.
The freebie processTo get your free gifts most freebie sites require you to
• Create an account at the freebie site
• Complete an advertisers offer (sometimes free)
• Refer a required number of friends (Referrals)
What is a referral?
A referral is someone who you send to the freebie site, who then completes an offer. Once you have created an account at the freebie site you will be given a personal link. Give this link to family and friends and if they sign up via your link they will count as a referral for you.
How can they afford to pay for the free gifts?
Freebie sites are paid by the advertisers to send them new customers. When you complete your offer, the freebie site receives around £20-£30. The advertisers are happy because you are trying out their products. For every referral that completes an offer, the advertisers pay the site. Once you have the required referrals, the freebie site will send you your free gift and still make a tidy profit.
2: You complete an advertiser’s offer. 3: Your referrals also sign up to the freebie site and complete an advertiser’s offer. The advertiser then pays the freebie site for all the customers they have received (you and your referrals).
4. The freebie site then sends you your free gift free of charge, and still makes a small profit from your order. Your referrals can then refer friends so they can also get free gifts.
How do the freebie sites make a larger profit?
When people receive their free gifts, the site only makes a small profit. There are other ways the sites make a larger profit:
• Someone signs up, completes an offer but cannot get all their referrals (a certain number of referrals are needed to obtain a free gift).
• Someone signs up, completes an offer but forgets about the site.
• Someone signs up and breaks the rules.
Look at the diagram:
Customer 1 got their free gift from the site, they did everything correctly and followed the rules. Customer 2 completed their offer but did not get the required number of referrals. So they did not get their chosen freebie.
Customer 3 tried to scam the site, and got banned, they will not get a freebie.The moral of the story: Be customer 1, don’t try and scam the freebie site, you will be caught. Do everything correctly and keep to the rules, you will get your freebies. For more details on not
breaking the rules, see our step by step guide.
