Freebies for Everyone

Aoureliou Televko asked:
Many firms are giving away a freebie so they can attract people to their web site. They are giving away free sweepstakes, free baby stuff, free samples, etc. What is happening to all this free stuff? It’s loosing it’s perceived value. Every time you surf the internet or check your e-mail you see at least 10 to 50 freebies offers.Don’t get me wrong freebies do increase traffic, but not like they did when the internet was new. The key is to increase the perceived value of your freebies so they will be more attractive to your audience. How do you do this? Well, here are eight ways:
1. You would tell them what the freebie is worth with
a dollar amount. For example, “try our
tooth whitening solution! A $19 value!”
2. You could add other freebies to your freebie that
will increase the value. For example, “Subscribe to
my freebies site and get free access to our “subscribers
only” private web site!”
3. You could tell them the freebie is only available for
a limited time. For example, “If you win, you will also
receive a $5,000 gas card. Your opinions matter! Limited
time offer.
4. You could tell them the freebie is only available to
a limited number of people. For example, ” Our free
software will only be available for the next 150 people
that download it.”
5. You should give more details about the freebie.
List the benefits, features, what problems the freebie
will solve, etc.
6. You may describe your freebie to sound more
attractive. For example, instead of “free report” you
could say “free never released top secret document”
7. You could list testimonials for your freebie. Most
businesses don’t give testimonials for their freebies.
This would defiantly increase your freebies value.
8. You might tell people how many people have
already receive your freebie. For example, “15,000
people have already subscribed to my free e-book!
Can they all be wrong?
These are only a few ways you can add value to your freebies. You could be creative and think up some other ways to increase the perceived value of your freebies. Also test each idea to see which one draws the most traffic to your web site.

Save Your Money By Looking For Free Stuff and Freebies Online

Ryan asked:
The advent of getting free stuffs online didn’t begin with the internet. It started a long time ago. I can say freebies started when people started learning more about economics. Manufacturers and marketers study a lot about economics because they always want to improve the sale of the product. They have studied in economics that people love to get bargains. They know that it is easier to get a customer that has bought a product from them and was satisfied, than make a sale to a new customer.
Marketers and manufacturers always study on how to get new customers. They tend to put coupons in magazine, offer rebates, or hire someone to be there in-store advertiser to give out free samples. This works because they are still being implemented up to now. But with the internet, this would reach a broader group of potential customers. Anybody looking to get coupons or free stuff can search online for them. There are websites that are just dedicated to be providing these (free stuff, samples and coupons). These webmasters, website owners, would affiliate themselves with these companies, so that when they release a new product, they can help to spread the news of the release.
These products are for everyone i.e. at times there are products for men, women, boys, girls and babies. No body is exempted. At times, the products can be used by both males and females such as the free sample of foods.
I would encourage anyone to always look for freebies or free stuff. Not because they should try other new products, but because it can help them to save. People should not spend their money to buy something when they can get it free online.

Ross Gordon asked:
There is tons of great free stuff all over the internet. But there are also many freebies to be wary of. But how do you know if you are getting a legit freebie or not? Here are some things to look for when getting freebies online.
Cost associated with free stuff
Is there a cost involved? If you are getting something for free online then it should be free. If you have to pay than be weary. The only exception to this rule is that sometimes free stuff online will have a small shipping fee associated with it. In my opinion it is only worth it to pay a shipping fee if it is significantly less then the value of the freebie.
I would never pay a $5.00 shipping fee for a free sample of shampoo or anything like that. But I would consider paying a shipping fee on a freebie like free 250 customized business cards, b/c if shipping is a few bucks it is still well worth it.
Signing up with personal information for free stuff
Almost all online freebies will require you to give your email and a shipping address. You should not worry about this as your address is needed to ship the freebie to you. And I recommend creating a special email address for freebies so you don’t flood your normal email with junk mail. But be sure you dont give out any other personal info like credit card numbers etc.
Free trials
Many companies offer some really good free trials that are worth getting. But when signing up for free trials you have to make sure to cancel before the billing period starts, otherwise you may be charged. Make sure you make a note in your calendar for a few days before the trial period ends to make sure you cancel your trial offer. And you may end up liking the product or service in which case you might want to buy or subscribe to it. Just make sure that the free trial you sign up for is from a legitimate company. Do a Google search first.
Referral program freebies
There are many referral based marketing programs in which you can win free game systems, mp3 players, and other cool electronics. But in order to win them you have to complete a number of offers or refer a number of people. Some of these programs have good reputations, like Transcendent Innovations, who does free xbox 360, free Ipods, Free PS3s and much more. But there are also a lot of frauds out there.
Always do some research on the company before you sign up for anything. Also, be aware that these companies have strict Terms and Conditions and will not hesitate to deactivate you for even the slightest violation (even if you did not know it was a violation). I know from experience.
Free paying surveys
There are a lot of great free paying surveys out there where you can get real cash or gifts. There are even companies that you can sign up to and regularly do surveys for money. Again, do research before you sign up to any of these companies. And never sign up to a company that requires you to pay to be a member. There are companies that do this for free.
Free vacation packages
A lot of companies offer free vacation packages or other freebies that just seem too good to be true. That’s because they are. Stay away from any freebie that seems too good. There is almost always a catch involved. For example, last week I was offered a free 2 night vacation with paid airfare. I asked the lady who called me a number of times if there was any catch or if I had to make any payments down the road. She said no and assured me it was a free vacation package.
All I had to do was come to them and pick up my free tickets and listen to an hour pitch from some company. But I was still a bit skeptical so I Googled the company’s name who called me with the offer. Sure enough I found what I needed. Turns out the offer is a free vacation, but they don’t give you it for two consecutive nights, and they book you at a crummy discount hotel of their choice. Plus they try to sell you all this stuff you don’t want or need. Bottom line: stay away from anything that looks shady!
Now that you have some information on what to look for when getting freebies, you can hit the net and start searching for free stuff. Good luck!
