How to Get Free Magazine Subscriptions

Everyone loves getting magazines for free. Many magazine companies will offer a free copy as an incentive to get you to buy a subscription, others offer several issues for free or even a full free year. Usually these deals require that you purchase a subscription so that, in essence, you are getting two years for the price of one. But did you know that there are many companies out there that are just dying to give you a full free subscription to their magazines with no catch and no gimmicks? Let me tell you how you can get the magazines you love for absolutely no cost whatsoever.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Internet connection
• Time
• Patience

1. Get 100's of free magazines at http://www.all-freemagazines.com. Instead of filling out a form for every magazine you are interested in, only to find out you don't qualify for a free issue, this site tells you which magazines you qualify for as you fill out the form.
2. Watch short video ads in exchange for a free magazine subscription. Adperk has put a modern twist on the get paid to view ads model as they offer some free magazines for watching short video ads. Be careful though, because not all of their magazines are free and are only discounted. According to Adperk, you select an offer you wish to participate in and then you are taken to a library of relevant branded videos. Each video represents credits that can be applied toward the corresponding reward offer. You then watch the video and when you are finished, you enter the word verification and credits are applied to your account. Once you've earned enough credits, you are directed to a checkout page and your reward is mailed to you. http://adperk.com/

Tips & Warnings

• Remember to fill out the forms COMPLETELY.
• Never pay for something that is supposed to be free.
• Get a new email address on gmail, yahoo, or hotmail just for registering for your free magazines. That way, your normal email box won't get flooded with spam.
• Be aware that some of the magazines offered only give you a discount on a subscription instead of a totally free subscription. If you are not careful, you will find out that you will be billed for half (or some other percentage) of the subscription cost.
• Be aware that when you register for something free, you will receive some spam in return.
• Remember that if you sign up for a free trial offer, you have to cancel within the specified time frame or you will be billed.
• Only request once for each free offer. To do otherwise is not only greedy and unfair to others, it is considered fraud and can get you into legal trouble.
