After years of managing a free site, i have personally compiled a short list of what to do to make searching for free stuff an easier and more efficient task. For freebies seekers, this article can definitely make your search a more rewarding experience.
1st thing to do: Set up a secondary email account.
Reason: This is because the email address you have to provide to receive the freebie will usually receive either information regarding the free sample you have applied for or additional information about the product. While this is generally not considered as spam mail, the increased emails may affect your primary email account.
To be honest, searching for freebies online is an incredibly easy task to do and by filling in the correct personal particulars, you can almost always get any free samples you request. However, there are dangers lurking in the web and the next section of this article will be dedicated to help you combat against some of the scams on the web. There are a few signs to take notice of to determine if a free offer is legitimate:
1. Terms & Conditions
There are usually terms and conditions attached to a free sample offer. For instance, the offer might only be extended to certain countries like U.S only. By keeping a lookout for the terms and conditions laid out in the free offer, you can determine whether the offer is legitimate.
2. Reasons
Ask yourself this question before signing up for the freebie, why does the free deal exist? If the product is new, you know that this might be a way used by advertisers to get people to know their products and thus, they will gladly send you a free sample for you as you might very well purchase the product next time. Advertisers tend to offer free samples to reach out to a greater audience.
3. Prerequisites
Sometimes to receive the free stuff, you may have to do certain surveys. These surveys tend to take less than 5 minutes to complete. If you have to do thousands of surveys to receive a free stuff, you know that you are actually doing a job and its a waste of time as the free stuff will not be FREE anymore!
Well, the most important thing to do while sourcing for freebies online is still to keep an open and logical mind. I have received many free samples before like fragrance, food etc from multinational companies like Hugo Boss and some small local companies. So keep an open mind and have a great time looking for freebies online by checking out sites like this!
