Virtual Walk-Through
This page will show you what it actually looks like to complete the process of signing up and going green on a freebie site. The offer shown below is given as an example only, and is not a suggestion that you pick that offer. You should look carefully at all offers available and pick the offers that appeal to you the most. It's a good idea to take into consideration the offer's terms, cost, crediting time, and product value when making a decision about which offers to complete.
It's very important to use my referral link when signing up, or I won't be able to pay you! You'll find my referral link for this site at the bottom of the Complete Instructions page in the menu on the left.
How to sign up on a typical freebie site:
I recommend paypal.zipnadazilch.com as a first site as it's one of the best I have seen. I will pay you $20 for simply signing up and completing the offer requirements.
This image is similar to what you will see when you click on my referral link:
The first thing you do is choose your free gift. This is the amount that this website will pay you for signing referrals under you, $40 each. It's not important at this point as you can change it any time, and as many times as you want. I recommend selecting $40 because this takes only 1 referral to cash out:
The main thing to pay attention to here is that it says "You are being referred by user ....". If it says "You are signing up unreferred", something went wrong, and you need to click my referral link again. You must sign up immediately after clicking, no 'clicking around' first. If you click around first, go back and click the referral link again before you sign up.
Note: you don't need any referrals to get paid $20 by me, you just need to sign up and complete the offer requirements for that. Later on, I will show you how to get referrals so you can collect the prize from the site too.
After you submit your email address for registration, you'll be taken to a pgae where you finish creating your account with some more information:
The main thing to be careful of here is to make sure that all your information is true and correct on this page before you submit it, so be sure to double check all the fields you fill out for accuracy. Please do not use false information in any of the fields as this will disqualify your account. If you do not feel comfortable providing real information, please do not participate.
Once you have successfully created your account, it is permanently linked to mine. This means I will be able to see your progress as you gain offer credits, and also that you do not need to use my referral link in the future, but may log into your account by going to the site directly.
Completing an offer
After submitting the previous page, you'll be taken to the offers page where you will be presented with a list of advertisements from various sponsor companies that look like this:
Holding the mouse over an offer brings up the pop-up description and requirements for that offer. Of course there are many more to choose from than what you see here, around 100 actually on this site.
The important things to look for are the offer's cost, how many credits it is worth, and the crediting time. Most offers are worth 1/2 credit, you'll need to do 2 of those to meet the requirements. For offers that say 1 credit, you'll only have to do that one in order to meet the requirements.
You should go through them and find something that is of interest to you. I'm showing an example offer below, but you should in no way consider that as a suggestion for this offer and it is entirely up to you which offer you choose. You may want to take into consideration the offer's terms, crediting time, cost, and value to make your decision.
You can always get back to this offer page by logging in to your account and clicking on the tab at the top that says "Offers".
You should make sure to read the Complete Instructions before attempting to do offers to make sure you understand what must be done to receive credit for the offers you do.
An example offer
As an example, lets say you chose the Blockbuster 2 week free trial offer. (Again, this is not a suggestion that you pick this offer!)
To get started, you just click on the offer's ad. This will pop up a new window or tab and redirect you to the sponsor company's signup page (Blockbuster in this case). You'll see a page like this:
To complete the offer, simply fill in the fields with valid information. It is important that the information you enter match the information you signed up on the freebie site with. First though, you should always read the offer's Terms of Service (TOS), or Terms and Conditions (T&C). You can usually find it at or near the very bottom of the signup page. Scroll down and you'll see:
Now you never want to just click on the offer's terms to read them, as using your browser's back button during the process can interefere with crediting as is explained in the Complete Instructions. Instead, right click on the Terms and Conditions link, and select "Open in new window" (or new tab). Carefully read the terms to make sure they are all agreeable to you, save a copy of it to your hard drive for future reference (via copy and paste), then close the window (or tab) and you will be right back on the offer page. As long as you didn't see any red flags in the terms, and you still want to complete this offer, go ahead and fill out the requested information, place a check next to "I accept", and submit your order.
You will then be taken to the 'confirmation' or 'thank you' page. It's important to stay on this page for at least 5 minutes after it finishes loading to ensure proper crediting. During this time, copy down and save any relevant information on the thank you page such as login credentials, order confirmation numbers, or activation instructions. Then after waiting 5 minutes, it's safe to close the window, and you should be back on the offers page..
Note: sometimes there are intermediate pages between when you submit your order and the confirmation page. You are under no obligation to accept any 'special offers' advertised to you on these pages, and may select the option to bypass them without it interefering with your credit for the original offer.
How to know you have been credited for the offer
After completing an offer, there is usually a waiting period for credit to be sent back to the freebie site for the offer you did. Even offers that say they credit instantly can take hours or even days to credit. This is normal, so don't be shocked or disappointed if your credit doesn't show up right away. To see if your offer has been credited to your account yet, check your status page on the freebie site. To do this, click on the green tab at the top that says "Status".
This is the page that shows you the status of everything associated with your account, such as offer credits, orders, selected prize, and referral signups under you. What you're looking for at this point is your offer credits, that is located in this box:
If you need to do another offer in order to meet the requirements (because the offer you did was only 1/2 credit), before completing a second offer, you should close out all browser windows, open a new browser window, clear cookies, log in to your account again (you don't need to use my referral link anymore, but can go to the site directly), click on the green "Offers" tab at the top, then do your other offer. This is to make sure you are credited properly for the offer you are about to do. Remember, see the Complete Instructions for details about how to clear your cookies and set your browser up properly for offer crediting before doing any offers. Once you have done enough offers to equal one full credit (2 at most on this site), you'll see the green bar declaring:
This means you have met the offer requirements or 'went green', and that it is time for me to pay you the $20 I owe you. It also means that you are now eligible to send referrals to this site yourself so that you can receive the prize you have selected.
Please read the Complete Instructions before getting started, and when you are ready to begin, you will find my referral link for paypal.zipnadazilch.com near the bottom of that page.
