How do people treat this as a business?

I am looking for someone to show me how this is run from a business point of view how its done etc. People are making tons of money buy giving other people money to go green and I know it. So if you feel like spilling your guts to me that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

imo they shouldn't, and project payday shouldn't encourage it.
it's not good for the industry and it's not a stable or long-term business. you'd be better off finding other areas to make money online (open an ebay store, learn to make a website that caters to a niche, etc)

I thought so.... thanks for the info I am understanding then it's a way to make quick buck and get some free prizes. Thanks for your reply.

Noobs think this is a business and it's not. They hurt the scene when they do this and this isn't a business by a long shot, common sense would tell anyone this.

It's a hobby. Its something to do for fun with spare time and spare funds. You will never make a consistent good living doing this. People seem to do well for a while, but it doesn't last forever.

Just had a thought...how do you claim this on your taxes or do you?

Of course you do, if you want to be legal.

Any freebie site that sends you more than $600 worth of freebies in a calendar year should ask you to complete and return a W9 form. Then at tax time they will send you and the IRS a 1099-MISC form reporting what you've received in the previous year.

If you go nuts and get many thousands of dollars worth of freebies in one year, it can have [b56e50e7a91]significant[/b56e50e7a91] tax implications for you, depending on your individual tax situation. As I recall, the 1099's I got for last year's freebies reduced my Federal refund by about $900, and my state refund by around $200 or so.

So what about the money I receive from other people rather than sites????

Legally? You are required to report all income no matter the source or amount.

Other than that, we cannot give -- nor should you take -- legal or tax advice on a public forum.

they jsut do offers a lot, like thats all they do
