Here’s what I see on my TRAINN status page.  In the upper left hand corner, you see the prize I’m working towards. ($480 Cash).  In the upper center, how many referrals I have (9 referrals)  In the upper left, how many I currently have (10 referrals).

Below that, is the list of referrals I’ve sent to the site.  The ones with green check marks in them have completed the offer requirements, and count towards my total.  The ones with no check mark haven’t.

It’s an either/or thing.  Either a person has done a Level A offer/50 points worth of Level B offers, or they haven’t.  I don’t get extra credit if they do more than 50 points–they still only count as one referral of the 10 that I need.

Here’s a different site, a more normal one (TRAINN is a very abnormal site, and I don’t like them much at all)

That one is from Freebiez-R-Us. The ones in green have completed their offer requirements (1 credit). The ones in black haven’t–it also shows the progress they’ve made. The one in red is your old account–that’s usually someone who did something bad and got banned from the site, but in your case, it was an honest mistake and they haven’t kicked you off. Up near the top (too far up to fit in the screenshot) is similar to the TRAINN site–it shows the prize I’m working towards, and how many referrals I have to get it. The concept is similar to the TRAINN site–either a person has completed the offer requirements (1-credit) or they haven’t. If they have, they count towards my prize, but I don’t get any extra if they do 1.1, 1.5, or 5 credits–you need 1 to green the site, and anything extra is just more money for the site owner.

I’ll be on for the rest of the evening if you have any follow up questions.

To be honest, I’m not really sure that it counts as “guaranteed credits”, since the terms are as weak as they come.  Here they are:

We will grant credit for one offer (up to a maximum of 1 credit) per user per network of sites.
Example— if you fill out an offer for a ½ = (.50) credit and you are not awarded 1/2 = (50) credit we will credit you that amount for that offer based on the following rules below. NOW if you fill out another offer for any other credit amount and do not get awarded that credit amount, we cannot help you. (because you already used your ONE (1) offer).

1. The original confirmation email and full headers must be submitted with the MCR (Manual Credit Request).
2. You must wait ten (10) days before submitting a MCR.
3. Guaranteed Credits will be credited to the offer within 24 hours after the MCR is submitted.
4. This applies ONLY to MCRs submitted within the correct time frame for the offer.

1. Any BlockBuster, Stamps, eFax, Video Professor and BooksFree offers are not applicable to this promotion.
2. Offers where MCRs are not allowed will not be permitted in the Guaranteed Offer promotion

CREDIT CARD OFFERS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THIS PROMOTION.
OFFERS THAT DO NOT ALLOW MCR’s ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THIS PROMOTION.

Obviously, these aren’t the most favorable terms ever.  Waiting 10 days for an offer to credit before you file for an MCR is nobody’s idea of a fun time.  I’d guess that he expects that a fair number of people will have given up by that time, so he won’t have to honor them.  That’s the main reason I save them until now.  If you’re sufficiently committed to the program to go this far, you’ll still be around in 10 days to file your MCR and get your credit.  And he really is quick to come through with them when that happens.  Support is also very fast (often within minutes) and helpful on the site, and credit weightings are well above average.

Even a weak guaranteed credit promotion is better than none at all, in my opinion, but if you’d prefer I get you something else, that’s fine too.  Let me know, either way.  I’ll hold off on setting it up in the Trade Manager until I hear back from you.  Don’t forget to get me your decision, though, so I can set it up if you want it.

Next up is:

http://cash.zipnadazilch.com/?referral=11626 (Pays $20 on green)

The two most important things that I look at when I evaluate a site is whether they guarantee credits, and how heavy their credit weightings are.  You know all about guaranteed credits.  “Credit weightings” are how much credit they give you for each offer, so a site with “Heavy” credit weightings will give you a larger fraction of your credit than one with light credit weightings.  I’m out of sites that are fantastic in both of my important categories.  You’ll find that the offers aren’t worth quite as much on ZipNadaZilch as the same offers were worth on the sites you’ve already done.  That’s unfortunate, but the credit weights here aren’t outright BAD.  They’re average.  Maybe even above average, for the industry as a whole.  But they’re not as good as you’re used to seeing.  I choose the sites I work on carefully, so you’ve only seen the absolute best there are.

That said, ZNZ is a very good site, and what really sets them apart is their no-strings attached guaranteed credits.  Unlike nearly every other network, there aren’t any hoops to jump through here.  You do the offer, you get the confirmation email, you submit the MCR, you get the credit.  Period.  They like you to wait 48 hours after doing the offer for it to credit “the old-fashioned way”, but that’s not a rule. Here are the actual terms, if you’re curious:

Only offers completed during this month will be eligible

-To be included in this promotion you must have the original confirmation e-mail with full headers
-A maximum of 2 missing credit requests per user will be guaranteed

With the rules laid out, to get your deserved credit with us, simply file a missing credit request into us with all of the necessary details needed and within just 2 days we automatically grant you your missing credit(s)!!

I’ve set this one up in the Trade Manager also, so you can confirm it and get started at your leisure.

After you’ve finished that, you’re ready for your next site, which is:

http://www.offers4me.net/?ref=306 (Pays $20 on green)

I’ve chosen this one primarily because they’re running a guaranteed credit promotion this month, but also because the offers are worth a much larger fraction of a credit on this network than they are on most others. In addition, this seems like a good time to remind you that I send my referrals to the sites with the FEWEST offers first.  This ensures that there will be at least a few offers you haven’t seen on every site.  There aren’t a million offers available on Offers4Me.  If you can’t green it profitably, don’t worry about it at all.  Just shoot me a message asking for a different site and I’ll get you the next one in line. (This is my not-too subtle way of acknowledging that O4M has relatively few offers–that’s why I use them now.  They’re a great site, but if you don’t do them early on, you wont be able to do them at all.  Even now, when you’re just getting started, it’s only 50/50 or so whether you’ll be able to get through them profitably.)

Here are the terms of their guaranteed credit promotion (With the usual fine print.  By the way, they’re serious about that “Mention in the Notes section…” bit.  If you don’t specifically request the guarantee, you don’t get it):

Offers4me is guaranteeing your credits this month. All you have to do is submit a valid credit request and mention in the Notes section that you want to use your Credit Guarantee. If we approve the request you will receive credit immediately. there are a few rules to this promotion…

* Only two requests allowed per person.

* Your account must be in good standing.

* This offer is not valid on full 1 credit offers.

* Guaranteed credits are only valid on offers which accept credit requests

Hint: You can filter our offers for those that do accept MCR and those that do not!

Here’s how you find the “Filter” that he mentions in that message to determine which offers accept MCRs:

1.  Go to the top of the Offers page and find the section marked “Categories”
2.  Tick the box that says “Credit Requests Allowed”
3.  Click on the “Refresh” button on the right.

About half the offers will just…disappear.  But all the ones that are left accept MCRs and are therefore covered by the guaranteed credit promotion.  If you can complete the site using only those offers, you’re golden.  If you don’t see enough offers to go green there, you can get the other offers back by unticking the box and hitting “Refresh” again,

Unfortunately, the other offers aren’t covered by their guaranteed credit promotion. but the site really does credit very well, even without the guarnatee.  I feel that I’ve done a bad job of explaining this whole thing, but this picture of the offers page of your next site should help:

Some of the information here is a little bit complicated, so please let me know if you have any questions. I OFTEN get a whole series of questions here.  It’s my secret suspicion that anyone who doesn’t’ ask question now isn’t reading the information I send them.  It’s my job to answer them, and I’ll spend as long as it takes to be sure that you understand.  Thanks.

I’ve set this one up in the Trade Manager also, so you can confirm it and get started at your leisure.

After you’ve finished that, you’re ready for your next site, which is:

http://bigcash.allfreebieworld.com/?referral=6373 (Pays $30 on green)

I’ve chosen this one primarily because they’re also running a guaranteed credit promotion this month, without any of the fine print, but also because the offers are worth a much larger fraction of a credit on this network than they are on most others. It’s also owned by a successful freebie trader from the past, so he knows what it’s like to be on our side of the curtain.

Here are the terms of their guaranteed credit promotion:

Only offers completed during this month will be eligible

-To be included in this promotion you must have the original confirmation e-mail with full headers
-A maximum of 2 missing credit requests per user will be guaranteed

With the rules laid out, to get your deserved credit with us, simply file a missing credit request into us with all of the necessary details needed and within just 2 days we automatically grant you your missing credit(s)!!

http://www.YourFreeHDtv.com/index.php?ref=6374119 ($20 PayPal on Green)

It’s a TRAINN site.  They’re different from what you’re used to in quite a few ways,  but none that will affect you at this point.  You’ll love them–everyone doing the offers loves them, since they’re great from your side of the trade.  From my side, not so much.  Make sure that you let me know before you start sending your own refs here.  There are tricks and traps set in this network for the person getting referrals which don’t apply to other networks.  They’re honest, and they pay, but I did lose a few bucks because I assumed that they were the same as everyone else.  Really kind of hard to work with from my side of the trade, but they’re so popular with the people doing the offers (that’s you) that I can’t kick them to the curb–I’d lose too much money.

The reason they’re so popular is that you only need to do ONE offer to green.  On the main page, up near the top,  you’ll find two links.  One is to the “Level A” offers.  The other is to the “Level B” offers. You can see where those links are on the following screenshot.  (note–your page may look slightly different; this is from a different site in the same network, so the design has changed slightly, but the main parts are still the same.  In addition, I’ve already greened the site.  You haven’t, so you won’t get the message that says “You have completed the offer requirements” until you do.  The important things, though, are the links to the Level A and Level B offers, and they’re still in the same place.  You’ll find them.)

To green the site, all you need to do is complete ANY ONE of the Level A offers.  That’s the most popular route, but if you prefer to go the Level B path, you’ll need 50 points worth of Level B offers. You won’t be able to see the offers without registering for the site, unfortunately, but that’s OK with me.  Go ahead and sign up.  If you don’t like it for any reason, we’ll just cancel the trade and I’ll get you something else.

The layout isn’t what you’re used to either, but you can probably figure it out. I’ll be around if you have any questions.  Other than that, the only thing you need to remember is that during the registration process. they’ll ask you if you want a “Points” account or a “Referral” account.  You want a Referral account.

I’ll set it up in the Trade Manager now.  You can confirm it and get started whenever you’re ready.

And now, at long last, here’s my referral link to your first site:

http://bigcash.allfreebieworld.com/?referral=6373 (I pay $30 to your PayPal account when you complete the offer requirements).

That’s the link you’ll click on when you‘re ready to get started. Please finish reading this page before you start. If you’d like to telephone or IM me as you go through this process this would be a good time. I’m at ksarner1 on both AIM and YIM, or call (570)762-5093 if its before midnight Eastern time. Please don’t telephone after midnight, I can’t talk while using the computer without waking my wife. IMs are fine.

(Don’t lose your credit here. The process is: FIRST clear cookies and cache, THEN log onto the free site, THEN go to the offers page to complete offers. You didn’t really think I was going to put that link there without reminding you one more time, did you?)

1. When you click on my referral link, you’ll see this:

This is where you select your prize. It doesn’t matter at all which prize you select at this point. You’ll get paid by ME as soon as you finish, but you won’t be getting your prize from the site for a while, and you can change your mind any time you want and as often as you want. What IS important is that you see the little line that says “You are being referred by user 6373″. If you don’t see that, STOP and contact me. It’s fixable if you sign up unreferred, but it takes a couple of days, it’s a nuisance, and neither of us gets paid until it gets fixed. Best to head off that problem immediately. Assuming that you see that message, you can safely give them your email address, make up a password, and click on “Sign up Now”.

2. After you’ve given them your email address, you’ll be taken to this page:

This is your last chance to make sure that you’re not signing up unreferred. (Check at the top of the page). Also note that you can’t go any further until you agree to their Terms and Conditions. You can read the Terms and Conditions if you want, but there’s nothing tricky in them.

3. It is NOT necessary to wait for them to verify your phone number. They may not do it immediately. Sometimes it takes a couple of hours before they get to it. No reason on earth for you to sit around making no money while their system sloooooowly remembers that they have to call you. Feel free to start immediately. They’ll get to you.

How to Go Green

4. When you’re done submitting your information to the site, you’ll be taken to this page:

There will be about 100-150 offers to choose from. To go green, you need to complete and receive credit for enough offers to get one full credit. This site uses percentages. Some sites use fractions, but you’ll always need one full credit (or more, but you don’t get paid extra for doing more).

Notice that each offer has 3 characteristics in the box:

1. The value of the offer in credits

2. The cost of the offer

3. How long it will take to credit (this is a guess–even “instant” offers can take a few hours to a day)

You’ll want to consider all 3 of these things in addition to the product being offered before you decide whether you’re interested in the offer.

When you find an offer that you’d like to try, click on the “Complete Offer” link below the Value.

To save you the trouble of going back and digging them all out again, I’m putting the links to my tutorials here. They’re set up to open in new windows, so you can click back and forth between them as needed.

Guide to selected offers

Incidentally, there are a few offers which will telephone you within a day or two after you place the order, to verify that you’re a real person, and that your order was legitimate. If you don’t answer, they’ll leave a message, and if you don’t return the message, you’ll lose the credit. It’s not common at all, but be aware that it does occasionally happen.

Once you’ve completed enough offers to get one full credit or more, you’re done with this IFW! Contact me to get paid and receive your next one. Again: crediting times are approximate. “Instant” may mean “a few hours”, or even “a day or two”. Don’t worry. You don’t need to sit around making no money while we wait. Just let me know that you’re done and I’ll get you started on another site. You’ll end up with two greens in the time it would normally take to get one.

That‘s it! Scroll back up, clear your cookies and cache, and click on my referral link. Or you can just use this one:

Good luck, keep in close contact with me throughout the process, and most of all, have fun!

And now, at long last, here’s my referral link to your first site:

http://paydayz.freebiez-r-us.com/?referral=287 (I pay $20 to your PayPal account when you complete the offer requirements).

That’s the link you’ll click on when you‘re ready to get started. Please finish reading this page before you start.

http://cameras.innovusnet.com?refBy=5068 (Pays $25 on green)

I’ve chosen this one primarily because they’re also running a guaranteed credit promotion this month, (with a lot of fine print, unfortunately. ) but also because the offers are worth a much larger fraction of a credit on this network than they are on most others.

If looks matter to you, I also think it’s by far the most attractively designed IFW.  That’s not all that important to me, but when you’re deciding where to send YOUR refs first, you might decide that making a good first impression is very important, in which case this would make a great first site.  I’d probably disagree with you, but at that point, it’s your business, so it’s your decision.

Here are the terms of their guaranteed credit promotion.  Read them very carefully if you have an offer that doesn’t credit.  They’re fairly complicated:

We will offer ONE (1) Guaranteed Credit per user per month. The original confirmation email and full headers will be required. Referral must wait the required number of days from the date of completion before submitting this request. If the number of days prior to submission is not clear, please have your referrals submit a support ticket inquiry and our capable staff will be happy to assist in providing this information for the offer in question. Most of the offers require a seven (7) day wait period before we can submit the MCR to affiliate.

Guaranteed Credits will be credited to the offer within 24 hours of submission. This applies ONLY to MCRs submitted within the correct time frame for the offer. Guaranteed Credit Offers must have been completed during this month to be included in this promotion.

Please have your referrals submit a support ticket separately requesting the Guaranteed Credit prior to submitting the MCR with the name of the offer. The Referral is responsible for proper submission of the MCR. Any submissions for this promotion without this advance submission by either the user or referral will result in a denied of the guarantee credit; yet the normal MCR requirements without the guarantee credit will be handled as a normal MCR submission.

I’ve set this one up in the Trade Manager also, so you can confirm it and get started at your leisure.
