The internet is a huge marketplace for free stuff. People search online for free information about everything in their life. Internet savvy individuals look at the internet for information, products and services. The internet does not have geographical boundaries. You can reach customers whenever and wherever they are. Thus, if you want a limitless customer source, you have to build online traffic using freebies.
Now, you may ask, how will you profit using freebies other than build your online traffic? Let this article answer the questions that linger in your mind.
The first freebie site saw the light approximately 4 years ago. Since then, millions of users have signed up for them and business owners have multiplied their offerings a thousand fold. The industry continues to show tremendous growth as browsers can’t get enough of these sites and the people that run them are capitalizing big time.
The basis of this business model is a simple one: “incentivized”, or “forced leads”. Let’s try and make those industry terms clear for the layman. It all begins with online advertisers of the CPA variety. Advertisers in all shapes and sizes offer a CPA or Cost Per Acquisition payout to affiliates that promote their offers. When a user signs up for one of these offers, the affiliate makes a commission.
Here is where the “incentivized” part comes in. The affiliate, in this case a freebie site owner, shares this commission with the user that generated it. This sharing takes many forms including gifts ranging form the original free iPod to free Xbox 360s and just about anything in between. Cashback rewards have also become increasingly popular and some users have made over $10,000 in easy money just by completing various affiliate offers on freebie sites.
Beyond the opportunity to make free money or earn a gift, these sites have something else working in their favor that make them spread like wild fire: viral marketing. Word of mouth for these literally spreads like a virus, from one person to their social network and so on. The reason for this is that freebie sites offer rewards to users who refer new users.
