Issue 88 : Taking Advantage of Free Stuff Online!
I actually decided to write this post because I came across a blog about a woman who posts random Freebies that she finds on the net and also calculates how much money she is saving at the same time. I thought it was a really interesting idea.
Not too long ago I wrote an article about “Saving Money To Make Money“. This is the concept of having more money to spend by spending less money on things you don’t really need. When you become a Millionaire Super Affiliate you can spend all the money you want on whatever your heart desires, but until you reach that point there is not point being luxurious.
Here are a few examples of Free Stuff you can find on the internet and a lot of them only require you do to something easy like join a website!
- Free Samples (Special K Cereal , Healthy Samples)
There are a lot of sites that are offering free samples of their products in hopes that you will buy more of it later on. These are usually goods that can be consumed like food and beauty products! Just search on Google and you will be likely to find tons of Free Samples. - Free Trips (Bahamas Cruise , 3 Nights in Cancun)
“You must be kidding right?” There are a lot of Vacation Getaway Giveaways and it may sound too good to be true.. but I have seen it with my own eyes. The logic behind it is that there are tons of airlines that are willing to give away free trips to lucky winners! What they do is give you a great deal and you have a great time.. the reason they do this is because they want you to WANT to come back at full price. It is just like setting the bait and reeling in the fish. - Win Cool Prizes ($1000 Gas Card , Win a Cadillac Escalade)
There are even more websites that offer great prizes that you can win by simply filling out a form or joining a website! A brand new Cadillac Escalade can’t hurt
As you can see there is quite a lot of stuff that is available for free on the internet and what I posted is just the tip of the iceberg. If anyone wants more links to free stuff I got tons, plus I know a bunch of websites that have more!
Remember that the less money you are spending on things that you don’t need (or things you can get for free), the more money you are making so that you can either save up, invest in great opportunities, or expand your current online business! Keep up the great work.

There are a lot of free stuff around but mostly, they require you to work hard to get them or to entice you to spend more money in future.

And you have just touched the tip of the iceberg. There is a whole industry out there based just on freebies. I could spend all day finding freebies and never have time for anything else.

I completely agree with you on this one. I’ve been winning all sorts of things recently from blog contests - including a camcorder recently which was nice! There are tons of freebies available out there if you look around. There are even some blogs that specialize in just mentioning the free stuff on other sites. I’ve loaded them into my RSS reader and every morning I get an update of all the latest free stuff I can try my luck for

There are tons of things out there for free, however most of them look like scams.

If you look really hard, you can find basically most things on the net for free. Good post.

Jeflin - I know exactly what you mean… when I say that these things are free… they are… the catch is either that you have to refer friends to the site before you can get your free prize… or that only a couple people can win out of thousands. There are a lot of sites giving away ipods/iphones and once you refer 10-20 friends then you can claim your prize..
Dan - You are completely right… there are people making a living by giving away free stuff on the internet… it is bigger than a lot may think
No more Compromise - Yup. I love to get free stuff… I recently got back from a free vacation… maybe i got lucky
Blog Savvy - There are a lot of things that may look like scams… but in this post I am talking about Free Stuff… these pages may require you to refer friends, or that you are chosen randomly out of a lot of people.. but they don’t ask you to pay anything.
Patrick - Very True…

I think I might just be the queen of free stuff. We bought a $200 comforter set, and within a few weeks, it had tears and pulls in it. The sheets shrunk when we washed them to the point that they no longer fit the bed. We couldn’t return it to the store since it had been used, but I called the manufacturer and got every penny back!
We bought a new mattress set just before the comforter set, and with the mattress being as tall as it is, I literally had to climb into the bed. I called the store because I found out that they are supposed to offer a low profile box spring, but didn’t, and I wanted one. I found out the upcharge is normally $75 for the low profile, with $30 shipping, but they gave it (and shipping) for free because of their mistake!
