Do Any Of Those Schemes Work?

    Hi,

    I was just randomly surfing the web and as usual you come across those FREE XBOX 360 or FREE PS3 or FREE PC, all you have to do is refer people or fill in forms, or take these free offers.

    Are they legit?
    Any experience?
    Do they actually work?

    They do work, but you have to sign up for a bunch of offers and refer people, etc.

    So it is not really FREE at all, but you can get them to ship an xbox 360 or whatever, but IMO its not worth your effort, unless you have a lot of free time.

    "Schemes" they certainly aren't. Incentive rewards websites are great ways to earn money and/or gifts when you yourself may not have a wealth of knowledge to manage asvertiing programs. What happens is, you complete a required paid offer and refer friends to do the same. The money your referral maesfrom their initial offer goes towards you. I think these programs are awesome because you can refer friends or just do something as simple as putting your ref lunk in your forum signature. Many people also like the idea of getting paid to be your referral. Say a website, like
    mine (in my signature), pays out $40 per referral, you can pay someone $20 to validly complete the website. Thats $20 profit right there. Its certainly a great program. Pm me for more details or check out GetGreensNow (link in sig) and start getting paid for completing offers.

    Check out ZacJohnson's website where he got a "FREE" 42 inch Plasma TV. Cost him $250 and countless hours of work, but he got it.

    Like Jams44 said, they only do well on incentive sites.

    It is better in my opinion to work with sites which pay you cash and not any product as a reward for your efforts and time.

    I am sure if Zac had used that money and time on any other venture, he would have made much more than that.

    Exactly. While I don't want to accuse anyone specific, alot of these programs are a little fishy im my opinion.

    While I dont completely agree with you that they are necessarily "fishy", I can certainly say that if you arent a regular to the incentive rewards scene, it can be hit-or-miss sometimes. In order to get the best out of a rewards site you have to have a respectable owner because there have been cases of owners keeping all the money for themselves. However, a respectable site *cough* my site *site* will help you get the best out offers because if you dont profit, we wont either. What im trying to imply is, do some research, they arent schemes or scams but a really easy concept to understand if you put a little time into it.
