Rules To Live By In The Freebie World:
(*disclaimer...these are all things that we should know when doing this but with most things there are always exceptions)

DO NOT SIGN UP ON THE SAME SITE MORE THAN ONCE!
IF YOU SIGN UP FOR ANOTHER SITE BUT WITHIN THE SAME NETWORK THEN YOU WILL NEED TO EXTEND YOUR CURRENT ACCOUNT AS AN "EXISTING USER" BY SIGNING UP WITH THE SAME E-MAIL YOU USED ON THE FIST SITE IN THAT NETWORK
Example:
Your first trade you are sent to CASH Free For All Mankind...you sign up as a new user
Your second trade you are sent to GAMES Free For All Mankind...you sign up as an "EXISTING USER"
Now you can not ever complete either one of those sites again as you have allready done them...
but you can complete any of the other Free For All Mankind sites.



CLEAR YOUR COOKIES BEFORE YOU LOG INTO A FREEBIE SITE!
WITH EACH NEW SITE YOU DO YOU WILL NEED TO CLEAR THEM FIRST
Example:
See below these rules to "How an offer credits" to understand why this is important!



SIGN UP FOR FREEBIESITES AND OFFERS IN YOUR OWN NAME AND WITH CORRECT AND ACCURATE INFORMATION!
Example:
Be sure to check that your phone number is correct as well as your address...
they can and will verify them and if you use false info or even have a type-o
it could cause you to be put on hold



DO NOT USE AOL TO ACCESS YOUR FREEBIESITES! AOL USES PROXIES WHICH ARE NOT ALLOWED....OTHER INTERNET PROVIDERS ALSO USE PROXIES AS WELL BUT AOL IS THE MOST COMMON...TO CHECK IF YOU ARE ON A PROXY SERVER...CLICK THE FOLLOWING LINK!
Proxy Test


DO NOT USE A PRE-PAID CARD OR THE VIRTUAL CARD FROM PAYPAL OR THE PAYPAL DEBT CARD...YOU MUST USE A VALID CREDIT/DEBIT CARD WITH YOUR NAME ON IT DO TO OFFERS!...UNLESS THEY ASK FOR A CHECK!
Example:
Offer companies use your card not only to take your funds but also to verify that you are who you say you are...
and they cant distinguish between paypal plug in and paypal debt so if comes from paypal it could go red



DO NOT LOG INTO YOUR FREEBIESITE ACCOUNTS FROM A PUBLIC PLACE...AND ONLY ACCESS FREEBIESITES FROM YOUR OWN COMPUTER!
Example:
A library, internet cafe, school, airport....these things are considered public internet portals. Even living in an apartment building where another trader lives could cause problems if you are signing in from either the same IP address or the same home address...just make sure you only log into your sites from home unless you talk to the site owner in advance and get an ok.



DO NOT CANCEL AN OFFER JUST AFTER SIGNING UP! YOU DON'T WANT TO COMMIT FRAUD SO TRY TO CHOOSE OFFERS THAT REALLY INTEREST YOU AND GIVE THEM A FAIR TRIAL! sTAY ORGANIZED!!
Example:
If you do an offer with intent to cancel then it is fraud...and the way that a company can usually tell
is if you sign up and then cancel without even getting the product or trying the service.
If it is a webiste that you need to sign into to use then you should sign into it and try it,
If it is a credit report service then you need to give them your info and actually use it,
A trial period on anything means that you ACTUALLY TRY the service or product!

*Also be sure to write down the date you sign up, length of the trial (if there is one), and a phone number from the offer just incase you do need to cancel it at some point!*



YOU CAN ONLY DO A SPECIFIC OFFER ONCE! KEEP TRACK OF THE ONES YOU DO! IF YOU SIGN UP FOR AN OFFER ON ONE SITE THEN YOU CAN NOT SIGN UP FOR IT EVER AGAIN ON ANY OTHER SITE!
Example:
You are greening on Cravem Freebies and you do the Yahoo Sucess Search offer....
then you are greening on Wish4Free and you see the Yahoo Success Search offer again...
you CAN NOT do it as you allready have on another site.

*Also Some of the offers brought to us are hosted on these Freebie Sites by the same company called Pacific Webworks and lots of these offers look attractive to do because they tend to be cheap trials. The rule is that you can only ever do a specific offer once BUT you can also only ever do a Pacific Webworks offer once too. It will say within an offers Terms Of Service if it is brought to you by PWW and you should be checking the TOS on the offers anyway!
Here is a list of some of the offers by PWW
(and remember you can only pick one of them to do ever!):

Amazon Amazing Web Stores
Chuck Mullaney Teaches Ebay
eAuction Expert
eAuction Tutor
eBay Toolkit
ebaysuccesses
Google Home Business Kit
Google SEO Supervisor
Forex
Increase My Margin
UMAC Core Marine Phytoplankton
Quick Books Simple Business Kit
Quick Start Business Kit
Yahoo Search Success Center
Yahoo Tool Kit




LEAVE THE LANDING PAGE UP FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES TO LET IT REGISTER.
Example:
See below these rules to "How an offer credits" to understand why this is important!

How an Offer Credits / How to sign up and Complete Offers!

When doing offers you NEED to have 3 specific cookies take root in your files in order to get the credit.


First thing to mention is that you should never ever clear your cookies while you are logged in on a freebiesite!!! When your trader gives you thier link you should go to that site by clicking on the link and sign up. Some sites do a verification phone call so have your phone handy incase. Make sure you fill out everything accurately. Once you are all signed up then go ahead to the offers and browse them...do not actually sign up yet though...just browse. Look through them and decide on which ones interest you then click on them and check out their TERMS OF SERVICE so that you know exactly what that offer will entail. Once you have an idea on which ones you want to do then you should close all of your windows and log out without completing anything. Once you are logged out then you CLEAR YOUR COOKIES...and that is how completing offers begins! Now log back into the site and this time with the intent to do the offers....

The first cookie is placed from the freebie site you are working on.
...you should have the site cookie in your files and notihing else if you just cleared them before logging into the site.

The second cookie is the first page of the offers.
...you should have only clicked on the offer you want to complete and so you now have the freebiesite cookie and the offer sites first cookie (an extra cookie or two may also enter the scene here and that is ok as long as you see the offer cookie and the site cookie as well)

The third cookie is the offer completion cookie.
...the landing page that everyone tells you to leave up for a few minutes. Now sometimes if you stray away from that by clicking on Terms of Service or something else and the order of cookies is interfered with or is messed up the offer might not credit. So that is why i reccomended that you browse through them first and read all the TOS before hand.

So in short if you clear your cookies, then log into the freebiesite, then go to the offers page (first cookie needed), then click on the offer you want to do (second cookie needed), then complete the offer all the way through to the final page without problems (third cookie you need) you should end up having the proper cookies. If this happens then it should credit. Now some computers have safeguards in thier spyware so that all these unecessary cookies dont get stored in your computer but most are ok...but if you are having trouble then you may want to disable them. Pop ups need to be on since the offer is essentially a pop up...so be sure not have the blocker on...and your settings need to be able to accept all cookies!



Still Having Trouble with this...Do you want to Track your cookies and see what exactly is going on?
Click here to Download the Cookie Tracker Cookie Monster.

After you download it then go through my instructions with nothing open except for the cookie monster and your freebie site...close all other applications. Once you are ready to start open the cookie monster and be sure it is empty...if not then clear it....once its clear then go to the freebie site and log in... then check the cookie monster to see if that cookie is there...if it is then you are getting that cookie and so far so good...if it isnt then something is wrong with your settings or you have something blocking it...if it was ok then progress to the next step and once at the offer page check the cookie monster again!

Here is the complete picture tutorial using the Cookie Monster.
