Tips and Useful Recommendations

Finding free stuff

Surfing the web for free stuff may result in your enconter with different categories of free stuff offers. Some tips and recommendations may help you identify those categories:

Absolutely Free Stuff

There indeed is an absolutely free stuff that you can find online. These are the offers from well-recongnized companies and departments stores, such as Procter and Gamble, Maybeline, or Wallmart, CostCo and many others.

You may also category of almost free stuff ind that are often just a click away. Are those freebies worth it? Here are some things to look for when requesting free stuff, freebies and free samples online.

Free Stuff with Partcipation or with other costs

You may find tons of free stuff that is offered with a provision "Participation Required". You will be asked to complete some offers, such as subscribe to some service - let's say a movie rental or similar things, and in exchange you will be offered some free stuff. Is it free? You decide to try it or not. Sometimes, the free product that you're interested in may have a cost associated with it. Sometimes, this cost is related to a shipping fee to get your free stuff to you. Other times, you may have to complete sponsor offers in order to receive your free item. The best thing to do is to pull out your calculator and do some number crunching. If your costs are less than the costs needed to obtain the freebie by purchasing it outright, then you just scored yourself a nice one! An example would be paying $5.95 for 500 free business cards.


Signing Up For Free Stuff
Just about any freebie you find online will ask for your email address, zip code, and/or home mailing address. This is OK, as it is required to get your free stuff to you in a timely fashion. Here are some tips when using personal information:

Check your junk folder in your email for important emails after signing up for freebies.
I would suggest that if a free offer site requires your credit card information, you just stay away from it, as even a card with a low limit may be used by somebody you don't even know.

Signing Up For Free Trials
There are absolutely tons of free trials out there. If you're genuinely interested in trying out the product, go ahead and sign up. If you like the product or service after your free trial period is over, you've just become a loyal customer. If you aren't interested in the product or service once your trial period is over, you must cancel your membership or return the product prior to your trial ending. Otherwise, your card will be charged. Be sure to mark your calendar three or so days before the trial period ends to make sure you cancel if you're not happy.

There you have it, some basic information about obtaining free stuff, free samples and freebies on the internet. There is tons of free stuff to find online. Make sure you follow these tips and you should find lots of success in your quest for free stuff!

Now about practical things

If you type "free stuff" in the search engine and hit the "go" button, you will get myriads of links where free stuff is offered. In most cases you will be directed to the sites that offer you "miraculous" offers, such as $100, or even $500 gift cards, or yearly supply of any products in exchange for your e-mail or for your participation in a very "short" survey. In reality, you will be asked if you would like to participate in different offers, such as subscription to services, e.g. movie rentals, or journal subscription, or else. The "short" survey may as well turn into an endless list of different offers, most of which are (of course) fee-based or in the best case offer a free trial period.

You will also be getting links to sites which are obsolete, expired, or do not really offer what you are looking for. The way to go about it is to choose what exactly you want and try to prioritize your search. Here are some practical suggestions for simplifying your search and getting "what you want":

If you want to find some stuff, such as free furniture or other household items, you may wish to type "free furniture" and get the links to sites, such as www.almostfreefurniture.com/ or
the famous "craigslist"(for example newyork.craigslist.org/zip/). What is offered there is of course used stuff or if you are lucky you could get a relatively new items directly from owners, or at least owner's alerts, when they are throwing the stuff on the street.

The other type of free stuff is product samples. Try to type "free product samples" and most likely you will get the links to the sites where companies offer to mail samples of their products to your address. This will also include some department stores, such as Wallmart.
