Finding Internet Freebies
Let’s face it; Internet service
on its own isn’t cheap. It is however the perfect tool to use for being
cheap and getting good deals. When used properly, the Internet can give
you access to countless freebies. Here's what you need to know to get
started with finding them:
There are basically three approaches to finding free samples on the
Internet: checking free sample sites, doing web searches and taking part
in discussion boards. We will look at all of these methods.
Free Sample Sites
Free sample sites are a great place to start. These sites list lots of
free samples that are available all over the web, and provide links to
the freebie sites.
The benefit of using these sites is that someone else is doing a lot of
the work for you. This means that you won’t have to spend a ton of
research time to find the samples you are hoping to find.
Basically, one of the best free sample sites on the web is called Start
Sampling.com. This website actually requires a membership, but it is so
worth it. Once you subscribe to it, you have access to tons of high
quality samples that you are looking for.
In the most recent months some of their sample offers have included a
free full-sized sample of name brand toothpaste, not to mention a
variety of free year-long magazine subscriptions. That may sound too
good to be true but it isn’t.
Some more good sample sites include: mommysavers.com and
freebies.about.com. Both of these sites feature daily updates, and are
among the first to list new offers. Linking to them will keep you ahead
of others and making sure that you find the best samples.
Walmart also offers a lot of freebie offers. Just go to walmart.com and
click on the "In Stores Now" tab to see what is going up for free next.
When you go here you can find deals on samples from such companies as
John Frieda, Neutrogena, Hallmark, Garnier and Poise.
Web Searches
Web searches can lead to even more free samples that you might not be
able to find on free sample websites. If you wasn’t to locate these,
there are several basic key words to search under. Yes, keywords are the
trick to finding the right stuff.
These keywords include free
sample, free samples, free trial, trial offer, free product and free
product offer are all excellent search words. If you really want to get
the very best search results, be sure to try all of the above-mentioned
key words. That will certainly produce all of the right sites. A sample
that might come up under “free sample,” may not come up under “free
samples”, which is why you have to switch keywords to get to them all.
As you gain more search experience, you may find that there are many
other key words that work for the particular product samples you are
looking for.
Word of Mouth
You should never underestimate the power of this method. This is how
most businesses manage to get most of their clientele. You can also
search online for word of mouth by checking discussion boards. If you
are willing to spend just a little time exploring the web, and you're
sure to turn up some great freebies.
These methods
having come up, let me just tell you that you can also check out Ask
Jeeves and find some great reviews on freebie websites. All you have to
do is type in “reviews for free stuff online” and a host of forums will
come up that will give you advice and warnings about web sites that
offer free stuff.
