It’s amazing how many times you get asked the same questions from surfers who are introduced to free stuff for the first time. And so often the questions are the same repeated over and over. But that’s fine, as people become accustomed to receiving free stuff, it becomes apparent that it is all completely legit. Today, I’ve listed a few often asked questions and answers along with some tips to get started with your free stuff hunting.
1) Nothing in life is free. How can this product be free?
Businesses large and small spend billions of dollars every year on advertising. Instead of blowing a 6 month promotional budget on TV, newspaper, or mail inserts, these corporations spend a smaller proportion of their budget on giving away samples so you can try their products right in your own home.
2) Why does it take so long for my free stuff to arrive?
Most businesses want you to receive their samples because research shows it is the most cost effective way to advertise. However since they are fulfilling large volumes of requests, it can typically take 4-12 weeks to receive your samples. Whilst there is a high success rate of samples arriving, the initial waiting period can be discouraging for some. It is key to remain patient. Once you actually start freebie hunting on a consistent and regular basis, after the initial wait you will receive free samples regularly.
3) I see other sites offering free stuff like games consoles, designer jeans, and iPods. Are those offers legit?
The old saying “it’s too good to be true” is a sensible rule of thumb to go by. Most of these freebies will request you to sign up for sponsor offers or buy something to get your freebie. Unlike FreeStuff4Free.com, many sites are out for a quick dollar and list many unrealistic awards to get your attention through Google advertising. The best thing to do is use common sense and review the terms of the offer before participating.
4) Will I get an increase in junk email by signing up?
Most respectable companies will not sell or rent your information. A quick way to check is to inderstand the terms and conditions or privacy statement. However, these companies may want to use your email to keep in touch with you and inform you of new products they launch. And unfortunately in all walks of life, there are always a few bad seeds that ruin it for the rest of us. The best thing to prevent unwanted junk email in your personal address is to create a free email account at a provider like Gmail which already has strong anti-spam measures within the service and use that email address to sign up for free stuff.
Happy freebie hunting.
