Freebie Proof - Introduction
Hello freebie enthusiasts,
The purpose of this site is to show you that freebie sites are real and you can literally get anything you can imagine for free. There are going to be 3 main parts to this blog.
The frequently asked questions section, where I will post several common questions about freebie sites. If you have any other questions ask them as a "comment" and I will answer them as best I can and possibly add it to the FAQ.
The multimedia section is going to be a showcase of news articles about freebie sites, news clips about freebie sites, and images from actual people have received their very own freebies.
The last and final section will be my personal story about my freebie experiences, which I will hopefully constantly add to. Enjoy!

Freebie Proof - Part 1 - FAQ
Is this a scam?
Short answer, NO! There's a lot of money to be made in freebie sites. When you sign up and complete an offer for a freebie site, the freebie site get paid a bounty by the advertiser. Also, the advertiser potentially makes a lot of money off of users that continue with the service they signed up for. Last but not least, you and I get freebies!
What's the catch?
Good question. You obviously realize that you aren't going to sit on your couch and then next week a bunch of expensive gifts are NOT going to just show up at your door for no reason other than you wanted one. The catch is that you must complete an offer for an advertising company and then refer X number of friends to complete offers as well. That way the freebie site gets paid from the advertiser, the advertiser gets potential customers, and most important of all you get a freebie!
How do the freebie sites make money?
Warning: (OK not really a "warning" but...). The concept of a freebie site is very complex, hence the reason there are so few. Below is my best effort to date at describing it but it still is inefficient. My hope is that you understand the general concept.
The way this works is there are essentially 3 parts to this. The Advertiser (the company with the offers), The Freebie Site (the company that sends your freebies), and You. Imagine you are company with a lot of money and you have run out of advertising ideas. What most companies do is create an "Affiliate Program". An affiliate program is when a big company pays either other companies or other people to find customers for the company.
So the big corporation comes to a freebie site, let's say Transcendent Innovations (by far the most reputable freebie network to date). The big corporation comes to TraInn says they will pay $50 for every new customer TraInn refers to try the big corporation's product or service. Why $50? Because when you sign-up for their offer your might have to pay $10 for their product or service. Now the big corporation is only paying $40 out of pocket for your business. Then consider how much money is spent on adverting and marketing for new customers (a lot more than $40 each). Also consider that you might actually choose to continue their with their product or service for $10 a month so they end up making all that money back. In the end it is all worth it to the big corporation.
Then the freebie site (TRAINN) adds the big corporations' product or service as an "offer" on all of their network (currently 12 different freebie sites). Then TRAINN offers a gift to you, for example a $400 iPhone, for 9 signups (you +8 referrals). Calculate the 9 sign-ups times $50 for the referrals equals $450 for TRAINN. They pay out a $400 iPhone and in this scenario make only $50. Which is actually hardly worth the effort to be honest. So lets take this example to the next step as to how this situation will most likely play out...
* Referral 1- gets 0 of their own referrals and abandons their account (probably one of your friends you had sign up)
* Referral 2- gets 0 of their own referrals and abandons their account (probably one of your friends you had sign up)
* Referral 3- gets 0 of their own referrals and abandons their account (probably one of your friends you had sign up)
* Referral 4- gets 1 referral but then quits and thinks it's too hard (probably ran out of friends and didn't want to try and get strangers to sign-up)
* Referral 5- gets 2 referrals but then quits and thinks it's too hard (they probably ran out of friends and didn't want to try and get strangers to sign-up)
* Referral 6-gets 3 referrals but then quits and thinks it's too hard (they probably ran out of friends and didn't want to try and get strangers to sign-up)
* Referral 7-gets 4+ referrals before going the route of the referral 4, 5 and 6.
* Referral 8- MAYBE gets all 8 referrals and gets their free iPhone
...which brings the grand total to 28 referrals from your account alone. Now multiply that by the rate from the big corporations of $50 which equals $1400 and all they have to do is pay out 2 iPhones ($800), and ends up with a profit of $600 off of your account alone. Now multiply this times several thousand accounts and take it further down the chain and you get the picture.
The freebie site makes a lot of money, the big corporations make a lot of money, and you get an expensive gift for FREE! It's a win-win-win!

Freebie Proof - Part 3 - Personal Anecdote
Well here's a general summary of my freebie experience.
I started on September 17th, 2007 on 360Elite4Free.Com. It was about the time Halo 3 was coming out and I wanted an XBOX 360 badly. So I was cruising eBay looking for XBOX 360s, sorting cheapest first and there was a ton of these dumb auctions for "FREE XBOX 360s". At the time I was strapped for cash so I thought 'What do I have to lose?'. One thing led to another and I signed up as a referral for a guy from my home state of Oregon (Orygun).
Anyway, I quickly realized that all my friends were way to skeptical of my online discoveries and there was no way they were going to be my referrals. So I discovered Anything4Free.Com where I traded referrals (you do a referral on mine I do one on yours) for about 5-6 referrals. Then I started paying people to do my referrals which was much more reliable and faster.
About 45 days later I got a nice big package on my doorstep containing a wonderful, brand new, XBOX 360 Elite with an extra black wireless controller and HALO 3! I can't put into words how awesome it was to flaunt it's beauty in front of all my skeptical friends that wouldn't help me out. Ironically enough I ended up getting the extra controller so they could play with me, cause I'm a nice guy like that.
To date here is what I have received including images below:
360Elite4Free.Com ($660)
* XBOX 360 Elite System
* Extra wireless XBOX 360 controller
* Halo 3
YourFree360Games.Com ($240)
* x2 Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock BUNDLE ($180)
* FIFA 08 ($60)
RealestGamers.Com ($110)
* Call of Duty 4 ($60)
* Extra wireless XBOX 360 controller ($50)
Various PayPal Payments ($850)
* FreeFlatScreens.Com - $250
* 3604Free.Com - $350
* YourFreeNintendoWii.Com - $250
GRAND TOTAL: $1960 of product and PayPal!
