how do you people do it? for high TR traders...questions.

hi
yes, im a noobie wink but i have taken a look at the stickies and i have some questions still. If mods think this is the wrong place to post this, please move it to another section.

How do you you people sign up for the offers (lets say you're doing cash for referral), and actually make money off of this? I see people pay like $20-$40 for someone to do a referral. but the offers (from what i can see) will cost the person anywhere from $80-$100 (usd) in the long run since they make you sign up with that company as a member..that means you will be losing money. So i just don't understand..i mean do you people with like 50TR have 50 suscriptions (members of) all these companies? that would cost a fortune to complete the TERMS and CONDITIONS (buy this, buy that).
Or am I TOTALLY missing the point here? are there cheap offers out that (less than $30 long term)???

Im personally looking to start out with referrals to referrals (haven't decided what site to join yet though) and wanted someone to clear things up before i decide to join a site and complete an offer (green).

Thanks in advance! )

Some sites have free offers that do require a CC or any money. Others make you sign up for trial periods, in which case, if it is not what you are looking for or it does not suit you, you can cancel.

Cancelling is an option but we stress that do offers that interest you and give these trials a chance because the more people who sign up for an offer and cancel as soon as they get credit, the less chance that offer is going to stick around and be available to us. There are quiete a few useful trials out there that I've kept in the past. To name a few, Blockbuster is a good one. You get 3 movie rentals at a time for $9.95 the first month and you get 2-3 in store coupons so you are actually getting a bunch of free rentals that I would be spending money on anyways. Genalvia coffee is a good one and you will find that one on most DIY sites (Go to the DIY section to find out about these) and it's a coffee maker and some free coffee packets for like $12. I gave that to my mom and dad for one of his Father's Day gifts because it was really a high end machine and excellent coffee. D

Most offers don't require commitments beyond the trial, but as was said, you should be signing up for those that interest you and give them a chance.

I've had BlockBuster for over a year now, when I signed up for my first freebie iPod. I'm also still a Gevalia and BocaJava subscriber, plus I've paid for a few autoships of various beauty products the wife likes. I also still have a Skill Jam membership with money in the account from a Trainn signup.

So give the offers a chance and find some things you'll like and stick with. That's the only way these advertisers will continue to market this way.

I think hes refering to OOD's (Offers Of Doom) these offers are usually Hosting or casino offers. These types of offers show up mostly on OC (offercentric) sites. Generally an OOD offer can be done for $40-$50. So in that case you would likely brake even. However you would also get a few months of web hosting or get to play around at a online casino where you could potentially make hundreds. The best advice I could give you is to never agree to do an offer that costs more than your being paid. Unless you are genually intrested in doing the offers.


But alot of sites don't have OOD offers alot of the big networks (Trainn, Freepay..etc). Have full credit offers thank can be done as little as $1 or sometimes free. While your first starting out I would suggest you start with a Trainn site they don't have any OOD offers and are the easiest to complete. To find out if a certain sites has easy or hard (OOD) offers ask the person who you are trading with for a list of offers before you agree to a trade.

+karma if that has helpped you wink

also, you want to look at the big picture as well. your total net cost to get x item which costs x dollars retail. there are offers you can make money on as well. credit card offers are great b/c some give giftcards and u can get money back on purchases.
also note that it would be fraudulent to have more than one account for offer x b/c u are only supposed to do most of the offers once

first off, thank you[/color0f13fcf5bb] to all those who took time to try and answer my questions. i really appreciate it! (plus karma time).
i currently don't have a credit card (didn't feel the need for one when i got my own bank account.. but sometimes i feel i made the wrong choice).
Are half the offers (at least) payable by paypal or bill to my address??

EDIT I took a look at the DIY sites and they require you to be in the USA.. i live in canada ,so i don't qualify.. [u0f13fcf5bb]unless anyone know of any sites that allows Canadian members.[/u0f13fcf5bb]

[b0f13fcf5bb]p.s.[/b0f13fcf5bb] when i say offers that cost 80-$100 in the long run im reffering to those CDs or book offers that requires you to buy ___ books/cds in the next 2 years (or so).. And i think you can't cancel those ones after you start since its part of the ToS.

Trainn stands for Transcendent Innovations trainn.org I'm pretty sure that trainn sites are open to canada.

I can't think of any offers that are payable by paypal or BTA. So yes if your going to do freebie sites you deffinitly need a credit or debit card. I would recommend a pre-paid card such as Simon (www.simon.com) or epassporte (www.epassporte.com) You could also try going to your local grocery store. Most of the time (around here at least not sure about canada) they sell gift cards to various stores but they also sell pre-paid debit cards.

Walgreens and CVS like Candy Stores for Freebie Masters.

If your debit card has a VISA/MC logo and works like a credit card, then almost all will take it. A few rare offers will claim in their T&C not to allow them, but they usually still work.

HOWEVER I recommend against using them, because every so often you get an advertiser who is less than scrupulous and just loves to go charge-happy. If that happens with a real CC, then you just dispute the charge and you're not out any money. But with a debit card, your money is gone and your bank isn't always helpful in disputing and getting it back.

If you have a verified PayPal account, see if you quality to upgrade it to the Money Market Fund account. Then request the PayPal MasterCard debit card (the real, plastic card, not the virtual #), fund the account with as much as you need to complete offers, and go to town. It doesn't cost anything, you earn an excellent interest rate return, and you get cashback every time you use the card. I have one, although I never use it for freebie offers (I use my CC's).
