GETTING STARTED AS A NEWBIE


Welcome to the world of FLR and the world of freebie sites. The following hints and tips will help you start out to becoming an FLR Godfather and make A LOT of money.

*If you have not already, I would like to suggest signing up for Project Payday. Project payday offers an in depth look at this exciting money opportunity.

So you’ve signed up for project payday, you think you got a handle on what is going on. Good…now lets get started. After making your profile unique to your personality, start looking around the FLR to see what is where and who is who. MAKE SURE YOU READ AND FOLLOW ALL FLR RULES.

If you take nothing from this make sure you remember this: READ, READ, READ! And be PATIENT

THINGS TO DO BEFORE YOU TO GET STARTED
1.) Get an e-mail account to use just for trading. It makes life easier if you keep your personal life separate from your “trading life”.
2.) It’s a good idea to get some spreadsheets to keep track of your offers…Get Your Organizational Spreadsheet here! Make sure you keep track of all your offers!!
3.) Use firefox as a browser. It credits (more on this later) much better then explorer. You can get it here Firefox web browser | Faster, more secure, & customizable. Once you get it set up, check out this link to make it ideal for the FLR: FIREFOX Browser - How To Set It Up for Doing Offers - A PICTORIAL
4.) Sign up for an account at PAYPAL and get verified. Most traders and freebie sites will only pay you if you have a verified paypal account. You can find out more about this at the PAYPAL site

So in a nutshell it works like this. I have a site that for every “ref” I get to go green I get paid $60.00. I will pay you $30.00 to go green and I’ll profit $30.00. Going green means that you sign up for the freebie site, and complete the appropriate amount of offers. Once you do that, we BOTH get paid!!!


GOING GREEN
This is a great link to check out. I strongly urge you to spend time reading it and PM me with any questions. Another random piece of advice…DO NOT SIGN UP FOR ANY SITES UNTIL A TRADE IS SET UP AN AGREED UPON BY BOTH YOU, AND MAKE SURE YOU USE THERE REF LINK.

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF GOING GREEN
In this business sometimes an offer will not credit when it’s supposed to or not credit at all. DON’T WORRY though. Remember patience? Most sites offer MCR’s (manual credit requests) so more then likely, if you follow this guide, you will get credit…just be patient. Follow the steps below and you will greatly improve your chances of going green quickly.

KEY STEPS TO GETTING CREDIT

1. Go to site and sign up
2. Look at offers and gather important information (offer name/ cost / days of trial/ company info and phone numbers to cancel/etc.) DO NOT COMPLETE OFFERS AT THIS TIME!!!
3 clear cookies and log out of site
4. Log back in to site and complete first offer
5. Once on the thank you page of offer STOP!!! DO NOT close this window for at least 10-20 minutes
you should get an email from the offer and soon after credit on the site. Do not continue to next
offer until after giving the first offer time to credit.
6 if you need to complete another offer, go back to step 2 and start over.

REMEMBER THIS

NEVER DO THE SAME OFFER TWICE EVER
NEVER CANCEL ANY OFFER RIGHT AWAY...GIVE THEM A CHANCE FIRST!!!
KEEP ALL CONFIRMATION EMAILS (CHECK BULK) FROM OFFERS
READ THE TOS OF ALL OFFERS (TERMS)

KEEP ALL INFO DATES, $ PHONE# FOR YOUR RECORDS.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope it helps you get started.

Thanks for sharing. It is an informative post. You have thought this out and covered all the bases.
The best advice is about being patient and reading all the great information out there.
And if you ever cannot find an answer to your questions, just ask. You will get many people who will be there to answer your calls.

Good post I wish I had read more before I started. Thanks!

Hi, you've put together some good beginner info! Could I point out a couple of things? You offered several links to places with more information, but only one of the links are actually there. I would also say in your steps to crediting that they need to go to the site through the referral link the other trader gave them, then sign up. And for your step 3 of crediting I would say log out of the site, then clear cookies and cache.

Again, you have some great info here to help new traders, I would just encourage you to tweak a couple of things! :)

Good info for newcomers to know...I am fortunate to have known these things when I started..I took the time to read the tutorials that are available and encourage all newcomers to do the same.

I wish I knew that getting paid for a 2 credit site just isnt worth it usually...just my two cents
