Getting Started in the World of Freesites

If you're new to freesites, this guide was made to help you get on you're way to getting stuff for free! We know you’re all eager to get started bringing the prizes and cash, but the most important thing to do when you’re just starting out is to be patient.

It cannot be emphasized enough to READ before you do anything. In time (not long at all) you’ll get the hang of it and you’ll be earning to your heart’s delight. Going through this guide will give you the start you need.

There are 3 types of freesites:

Do-It-Yourself (DIY)
Referral based
Point based.

First we’ll start with referral based freesites since this is probably the most common type of site. There are two ways to sign up, one is to sign up unreferred and the other was is to sign up referred. Signing up unreferred means that you registered for the site through the main page of the freesite.

For example, if the freesite name was www.3604free.com and you registered directly from there, which would be registering unreferred. On the other hand, if you signed up referred you would be using what is called a referral link. A referral link looks like http://www.3604free.com/index.php?ref=200000 . The number at the end (200000) is a unique number that every registered member gets so that when they refer people to the site, they are credited with referring that person.

The way referral based sites work is that you complete an offer and then you have to refer a certain number of people to sign up using your referral link and complete an offer.

An example would be is if you signed up for www.3604free.com and wanted to complete the requirements for the Xbox 360 system, you would have to complete an offer and refer 8 people to do the same.

The next type is DIY sites. These sites require very few, or no referrals in order to get a prize or earn money. Instead, you complete more offers yourself (hence why they’re called do-it-yourself) in order to reach the prize or cash payout. I-deal is an example of a company that is a DIY site.

There is another type of DIY sites which are called ‘Get Paid To’ (GPT). With these sites there are no referral requirements to get a prize. You just get paid by offer, for the offers you do.

For example, you sign up for Blockbuster on a GPT site and when you complete it you get $30 put in your account. (if that’s the payout for that offer). From there, the site will have a minimum amount you need to have in your account in order cashout that money in the form of PayPal or check. It usually is between $25 and $30.

The last type of freesites are points based sites. They are similar to DIY sites where you complete offers on your own and don't need referrals. The prizes or cashouts are worth a certain number of points you have to accumulate by completing offers.

Each offer is worth a certain amount of points which you are credited when you complete them. This is different from referral based sites in that offers in referral sites require you only to complete one offer, but get a few referrals, and here, you complete the necessary offers yourself to get your prize. If you are having trouble getting referrals, DIY or point based sites would be more for you.
