Signing Up For Freebies - Some Free Advice

Everyone likes the idea of getting something for free and the internet has brought about a whole number of opportunities for you to get something for nothing. From surveys to competitions, freebies to free offers there’s always a company happy to part with something in the interest of attracting new customers.

But is everything in life really free?

For the most part - sadly it’s not “free”! A company offering a free trial is will be looking to add you to a mailing list for example, and may even contact you regarding the free offer you have participated in. Competitions may well be free to enter, but the details you give could well be used for marketing purposes, emailing offers to you, or perhaps even sold on.

It’s possible to participate in surveys to earn rewards, vouchers or even cash, however you will need to give up some time to answer the questions (and some of the surveys can be long). Answer untruthfully and you may find you don’t get your rewards or asked to participate again.

Bearing this in mind, it is possible to enjoy taking part in free offers, competitions, and surveys. You can opt out of some marketing offers by refusing to pass your name and details on to third parties - just look for the tickbox that provides this option. If you want to split up marketing emails from your personal email, set up an email account especially for your freebie activity.

Above all, be cautious! Remember it is possible to get something almost for nothing, but be careful who you give your details to. Freebieworld will only promote what we believe to be decent quality services, however if you feel uncomfortable with a website, think an offer is just too good to be true, or have reservations about participating, then our advice is don’t - do some checks first! For example you can always do a search around the web to see if other people have taken up the offer or received their freebie before signing up!
