Every time we open our email, we encounter websites that offer money or free stuff just by visiting their website. All they ask from you is to fill up some requirements and refer other people to do the same. This type of marketing strategy is called an IFW, short for incentivized freebie website.

IFWs have the luxury of giving away free items since advertisers pay them directly for every lead that completes an offer on that site. It is generally cheaper for the advertiser to promote their products and generate leads by posting in IFWs as compared to traditional forms of media.

One can profit three ways from these websites.

Method 1: The most common method is by “going green”. Some prizes need 10 or more referrals, instead of asking their family and friends, people are willing to pay strangers to complete the requirements since it is quicker and easier this way. One can earn around $20 to $100 for each site. The more complex the site offers are, the more money you can earn from it.

Method 2: Get directly paid by IFWs. Compared to the first method, you take the role this time of paying other people to complete the requirements and pass them off to the IFW as your referrals. The common practice is paying half the price of what you are getting from the website to your referral. You can earn a good profit just by referring constantly since most IFWs tolerate an unlimited number of referrals.

Method 3: The last method is complicated and is therefore rarely used. Once the prizes from IFWs like electronics and other appliances are received, they sell the items on EBay. Few people bother with this approach and just follow the other two methods.

One can find forums in everything related to freebie trading on the Internet. Forums provide vital information to anyone who is interested in becoming a freebie trader. People with little technical knowledge or minimal capital will find freebie trading is a good way of generating online income.
