If you are looking to earn money online, you may not realize that Freebie sites provide one of the easiest, surest, and most practical ways to make money online. There is not a monetary investment to make, nor is there a risk of losing money.

For perspective, Freebie sites are a vehicle for part-time money only. You also work with a mentor whom you choose, who typically will help you earn your first $200 to $400 in one's initial four (4) to six (6) weeks.

The Free Lunch Room is the largest trading forum to learn about Freesites. In fact, you may not realize that Freesites fill a void in the world of online income opportunities.

Freebie Sites Are Not Affiliate Marketing

The average person often has a difficult time grasping Affiliate Marketing. Rarely is he given sound guidance on how to build traffic to his affiliate site for the information product he purchased -- or on the volume of traffic necessary to see sales.

This is a different way of saying that a clear communication on the cost to to be successful is not given.

The typical consumer spends $50 to simply purchase an Information Product. He then learns that he needs a domain name and a website to be really successful.

Most shrewd Internet Marketers will communicate that they are providing the Information Product and the Affiliate Website free of charge, or at a reduced cost, because they want the consumer to be successful, and only profit when the consumer profits.

Yet, the domain name and web site must be hosted at a hosting company. This cost is often around a $100 a year.

There is also often a failure to communicate that the free Affiliate Website must be used at a web hosting company where the product owner has obtained "a great deal." This means that web hosting becomes the Information Product's vehicle to making money.

There is still the need to get potential purchasers, i.e, traffic, to the affiliate website. The average guy consumer becomes discouraged when he is faced with five (5) or six (6) different ways to drive visitors to his affiliate website. These ways will include one or more of the following:

* Classified Ads,
* Article Posting,
* Traffic Exchanges,
* Safelists,
* Messaging Boards,
* Ad Directories,
* Social networking.

It soon becomes clear that the cost to drive a large volume of traffic is more than what the average consumer anticipated. This is one reason for the one (1%) per cent success rate in Affiliate Marketing.

Freesites Are Easier Than Affiliate Marketing for the Average Guy to Make Money Online

Freebie sites are so much better than the Affiliate Marketing of Information Products for the average person. There are several reasons this is true:

1. Freesites do not provide the allure of large amounts of income.

The promotion angle of Affiliate Marketing is the opportunity to quit one's day job, retire and earn $10K a month.

Freebie sites do not make any promises along that line. Instead, Freesites openly communicate that they are a hobby, and provide part-time income only.

Freesites are for the person who wants to earn an extra $200 to $2000 a month. It's not great money, but for the average guy, he is not losing money!

2. Freesites do not involve a monthly financial commitment to drive traffic to one's website.

Freesites involve working with a small community of folks. Individuals interested in trading in Freesites meet in a virtual meeting hall called a trading forum like the Free Lunch Room.

He or she will find free tutorials in getting started, will be able to post questions and get feedback from the broader community.

When that person is ready to start making money, the individual will go to a special sub-forum where he can review information about different traders and find one or two with whom to work.

At this stage, the individual has not invested a dime! -- and, he is about to start earning money as he samples products for pay.

Now, every time this author hears a commercial involving any company like Lifelock, Blockbuster, Netflix, Quality Paperback Book Club, Scholastic Book Club, Wine Tasting Companies, Gourment Coffee Companies, Vitamin Companies or Diet Companies, before accepting the company's offer to try it free for 30 days, he sees if he can take that same 30 day offer through a Freebie site and be paid.

In addition, your pay is not affected by whether you become a customer or return the product.

Conclusion
- Over 80,000 Folks, Housewife-led

Freebie sites, called Freesites by some, is a small, growing online hobby. It is not a business, or a business opportunity.

It simply is an enjoyable hobby where one can meet very nice folks who are incredibly supportive. Over 80,000 individuals have traded in Freebie sites like the Free Lunch Room in the past two (2) years for extra income online.

Although the world of Freebie sites is dominated by stay-at-home moms, it is a great vehicle for anyone to pick up a few extra dollars each month. In the process.

The important thing is that one is earning money from the start and is not investing money, and more money as one often does with Affiliate Marketing and its one (1%) per cent success rate before one sees a return on his investment.
