How to Make Money by Filling in Offers

It is likely you’ve come across a pop-up ad before which promises to give you a new iPhone or any other gift in return for filling in some offers (mostly free) of advertisers working with them.

The Ad owners are in fact able to give you that gift since for each offer you fill in, they will make money. This market is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and a lot of advertisers are willing to pay a lot of money for people to join their services for a trial period, order an example product, fill in their details and more...

The difference between this area and regular affiliate marketing is that here the advertisers are allowing us to give an incentive to people for them to fill in their offers, which gives profits to both sides.

For example, let's assume that for anyone who goes to a free trial for a specific service using my link, I receive 20 dollars from the service owner. I have the possibility to offer my friend 10 dollars for signing up for free to this service using my link and in this situation we both make money: I made 10 dollars (20 from the advertiser minus 10 I paid to the friend who joined), and my friend also earned 10 dollars from me for signing up to the free trial ! :)

So, now we understand what Incentive Freebie Websites are,  first step we will fill in offers and make money from people who are willing to pay to us for filling offers in through their link - those people are called Traders.

Now, after we’ve filled in the offers we can move to the other side of the bidder and pay other people for filling offers in through our link, which is what will allow us to make money without filling in any other offers.

First Step: Going Green

Going green's meaning is to fill in an offer or a number of offers on a certain site through a link of one of the traders.

In the moment you are green than anyone who referred you to the site will earn his commission (of which he will pay you a share) and you will be entitled to refer other people to the website and get your commission the moment they go green.

The requirements for going green are different from one site to another. For a lot of sites it's enough to fill in one offer in order to go green, but for some of them you’ll need to fill in 2-3, and in some you’ll have the choice of whether you’d like to fill in one big offer or a number of smaller ones.

The payment we will receive for each site we are green at starts at 15 dollars per offer and can reach a sum of 100 dollars on sites where you need to fill in a few offers, so in each scale we are talking about a really nice reward and nice revenues for the amount of work we are doing.

The bottom line is, in the first stage our goal is to go green on as many sites as we can, while each time we do that we will make money directly to our PayPal account from our referrer.

After one or two times you will reach a status where you will only have to invest few minutes to fill in offers, go green and receive your commission.

Our referrer is the 'Trader' and the best places to find these traders are forums which are specialized in this area. There you can could hundreds of traders and people who are looking to fill in offers for payment.

In the member’s site there is a list of the best forums in the area. You can start with Anything4free.com, as in that forum you will find hundreds of offers from traders who will pay you for filling in offers and going green using their link.

The best place to start is the Beginner's Trading Post forum which is in the Freebie Forums on the site.

Enter the traders’ posts and check their offers and the reward they are offering. Near each trader you can see how many deals he has already made successfully. It is recommended that you work mainly with those who have done a lot of deals so you could rest assured your dealer will pay you after you fill in their offers.

After you’ve found a trader with an offer you are interested in, click on that user's Trade Offers number from their user info on the side of their post and in their profile. Find a Trade Offer from their Offers page that interests you and click More Info.

From the proceeding page, read the details, and if they work for you, click "Initiate Trade" after filling in the form. Then, once the offer approves your initiation, you'll be trading.

After you confirm the trade you will receive a private message with the trader's link (it could take a few hours since the trader will be sending you the message himself), Now you have to enter the link and fill in the required offers for going green. After, you will be confirmed and the trader will receive a confirmation that you have performed what you had to do successfully; he will then transfer the payment to your assigned PayPal account when you chose the trade.

For the first few times I would suggest you also send a forum private message to the user, get some tips from him and ask him for recommended offers. 

Types of offers and very important tips to note:  

It's very important to know that most of these offers require you to accept a free trial, after which your credit card will be charged for the full price of the service unless you cancel the service before the next charge.

The big money which is in this area is not for nothing. Some of the offers’ takers will eventually like the service they are getting and therefore won't cancel it. Also, a large part of the takers will simply forget the service and thus will pay at least one payment for the next month – the moment that happens you are going into a loss status since the payment for the service will most of the time be larger than what you received for filling in the offer in the first place.

The bottom line is you don't want to be on the side of people who forget to cancel their subscription, so in this business you have to be organized and thorough.

What you can do is to input any offer you have filled in in an Excel table, with the charge date, the phone number to cancel the subscription, a link to the company's site and any other information you might need to know about the offer. This way you can follow all the services you have subscribed to and cancel them before the first charge.

Another very important thing is not to cancel a service you just signed up to since it is forbidden and may cause your account to get blocked. Whoever referred you won't get their commission and therefore won't pay you, and you won't be able to refer other people. Always cancel the service one or two days before the charge date.

There are a few types of offers you will fill in and these are the major ones: 

1. Information offers, with no need for a credit card: There are a few offers that won't require your credit card but will ask you to answer a questionnaire with personal details about you and ways to contact you (phone, address, email). These companies pay for your information most of the time, with which they can offer you different advertisements in the future which are relevant to you.

2. Free Trial: Most of the offers are in this category, where you sign up to a free trial period for some service and if you don’t cancel the service before the end of the trial period a monthly fee will be charged from your credit card. With this type of offer it's very important to read the regulations carefully, understand when the free trial ends and write yourself a memo to cancel the service one or two days before the charge date.

3.Paid Trial: With this kind of offer you sign up to a monthly service and pay the first payment when you sign up, or pay a really low payment for a few days of trying the service, after which a full payment will be charged. Most of the time the payment will be relatively low from what you will receive for filling in the offers so it's worthwhile paying it, but it's also important to cancel it before the next payment is due.

Pay attention that the condition to go green in these offers is to pay the low primary fee. Personally I like these offers since they usually pay a higher fee relative to the 2 previous kinds of offers, and also even after the reduction of the first payment the revenue for these offers is still higher.

4. Deposit offer: Another kind I really like, although we will need to get some money out of our pockets here too. In these offers you have to sign up to a specific website, mostly from the gaming, shopping, internet or gambling genre, and make a one-time deposit of a specific sum of money. The advantage in these offers is that from one hand they are giving us a nice revenue and on the other hand they usually won't charge you again in the next month, therefore you don't need to follow and cancel the service.

How do I choose which services I should sign up to? 

Most of the time when you contact a certain trade the trader will refer you to a website with a lot of different offers of which you will have to fill in a specific amount (1-5 mostly, depending on the reward and the website) of offers of your choice. What you can do is to first check to see if there are any offers for services you need and fill them in first. At the second stage you look for free offers or offers with the lowest primary fee possible.

Before you fill in the offers you summarize the costs you will have to pay for all the services together and make sure it's lower than what you will get from the trader once you fill them in and go green.

Anyway, for beginners I always recommend to start with trades that require filling in one offer alone. Almost all traders have offers like that and that's the best way to start in my opinion.

It's very tempting to start with offers which give you $60-$100 in the beginning but most of the time they are websites which demand you to register to a few offers and with work that takes a fair amount of time. Therefore, my recommendation is to start with the 15-20 dollars offers.

Become a Trader

After we had filled a number of offers it's time to make some of the bigger and easier money.

As we said our goal was to get green in as many Incentive Freebie Websites as possible, and that's so we could refer other partners to them and make money from offers other people are filling.

Any time you will sign up to one of the websites you will receive your Referral Link, whoever gets to the website using your link will count as you referred user and reward you with commission after he will go green.

What you have to do is take all the websites you are green on, check how much you earn for any person you refer and turns green, and based on that info determine how much money you are willing to pay for anyone who fills in the offers using your link (going green through you) which means in this stage you are becoming a trader.

With this method you have a few possibilities to earn money: most of the sites will allow you to earn money for each person you refer and who turns green - in this case your revenue will be the difference between what you paid to that person and what you receive from the site for each green.

Pay attention as there are websites which allow you to withdraw your revenues only after you’ve recruited 4-5 people; the advantage of these sites is that most of the time they will pay you more money than the sites which allow you to withdraw your money with just 1 recruited person only.

Some sites will reward you with gifts and then to earn them you will have to sell the gift and convert it with money. For example, a specific site offered you a $500 flat screen TV for 4 green referrals - you can pay each of your referrals 75 dollars for filling in the offers (total $300 expenditures), and then sell your TV for $500 and enjoy a revenue of $200.

Personally I like to keep it simpler than dealing with products, although generally with this method your income can be higher.

Where can I Find Referrals?

The best place to look for people to fill in offers using your links is of course the big forums, since there will always be more people looking to earn by filling in offers than traders, and you can almost always find potential referrals there.

Generally after a few deals you’ve made as an offer’s filler, the forum will allow you to be a trader and offer your offers. In the anything4free forum you can be a trader after you have successfully finished 4 trades.

You need to start a new thread in the forum with a link to your sites, like posts you visited in the previous method, and define your offers in the Trade Manager menu.

In order to add an offer enter the Trade Manager, choose "Add Trade Offer" and fill in the form following the instructions.

Pay attention that in the beginning it will be relatively hard to find referrals since your rating is still low and you will have to be very competitive and offer a reward which is higher than the average in order to attract referrals.

Another great place for beginners where you can get tens of referrals pretty easily is the site Craigslist. On this site you can post a free advertisement which offers – particularly interesting to those who are looking for jobs - payment to try new products and perform simple tasks. If you formulate the message in an attractive way you will be surprised at how many inquiries you will receive.

Another option is to personally contact people you know or people using social media who are interested in the possibility of making money from home.

In essence you are also helping them since in these offers both sides are happy and making money, and there are a lot of people who will be very happy to earn a few more bucks a day by filling in free or low-cost offers. It's very important you instruct those people carefully and pass them the material you’ve learned here so that these trades will go smoothly.

You can refer people who are looking for business opportunities and additional ways of making money and teach them this whole model. That way they will have a higher incentive to fill in as many of your offers and go green on as many sites as possible so that they can offer these sites to other people too.

If you’ve got the time and knowledge you can start your own Incentive Freebie website and offer all his offers there with the reward he is willing to pay. This site can be easily shared using social media and different money making and internet marketing forums.
