I ask you, why would any company pay millions to advertise via advert on your favorite telly program? How many people actually watch and take notice of adverts on the telly anymore? We all know companies spend millions on advertising so it makes sinse that they would pay a price for a guarantee that their services and or products have been seen by you, a potential customer. These companies are willing to pay a preimium to the freebie networking sites (such as freebiejeebies.co.uk). Freebiejeebies will then spend some of that money on incentives such as: wiis, PS3s, iphones etc to keep you coming back and recommending people do the same. It's that age old marketing tool that we all know as word of mouth. I like to think of it as a freebie love triangle, you want something for free, the networking site wants to make a profit, and the advertiser wants you to try their product in hopes that you might stay on as a paying customer. Take a look at The Triangle of Freebie Love for an illustration of how it all works.

No. Look out for the free offers available, such as the LoveFilm 2 week free trial. If you are from the US or Canada there are lots more free offers on your side of the pond.

You get a unique refferal ID as soon as you have logged into you account with your chosen freebie network. You can start reffering people right away, even if your offer is still pending. The time it takes your offer to go through varies with the offer you have done. It takes from as little as 10min to a couple of days. The amount of time it takes for you to recieve your free gift is entirely up to you. The more expensive your gift is the more people you will need to refer to sign up using your referral ID. You can get an ipod shuffle for as little as 2 referrals or an HD TV for 50. Don't worry if you don't know that many people that would be interested in signing up. There are entire communities dedicated to helping you get your refferal such as the forums at Exceem.co.uk. There you can trade referals or get lots of good free advice on how to complete your referals.

The list is absoloutly endless. If you don't see anything you want, don't worry. There's a custom order option where you can ask for anything your heart desires. The typical freebie site offers around £17 worth of goodies for every referral.

You don't need to worry if this is the case there are many communities dedicated to helping you get your referrals (know as greens) such as www.exceem.co.uk. At exceem there are literally thousands of people sharing methods for getting referrals and even has a trade section where you can trade referrals with other members. There are also sites out there such as www.getref.com which is a whole community of people trading referrals.
