Get Free Stuff

We have all seen the ads on the internet that promise a free laptop if you just "click here". Can you actually get a free laptop or Ipod or other big ticket item for free? Absolutely not! We can, however get free samples of products including health & beauty aids, hygiene products, household goods, even hats, shirts, coffee mugs, etc. Companies want to give you free samples of their products and promotional items. We can order them on the internet and get them in the mail. How can we do that you ask? Good question.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A Computer
  • Internet Access
  • Common Sense
  • A Mailbox
  1. Step 1

    Type "get free samples" or "get free stuff" into your favorite search engine.

  2. Step 2

    Choose one of the freebie sites in the resulting list and look through the listing of free stuff available for the items you would like to get for free.

  3. Step 3

    Click on the link for the free item you would like to order. Fill out the form with your name and address information.

  4. Step 4

    Wait by your mailbox for the free stuff to arrive. It's that simple!

Tips & Warnings
  • Make sure you choose a site that actually has free stuff and not scams. I listed a couple of my favorites in the resource section below.
  • Get a separate email address from one of the free email services (Yahoo, Google, etc.). Many of the sites to get free stuff from will require you to sign up for an email newsletter. This will keep spam out of your primary email account
  • If an offer seems too good to be true, it is. Move on to the next free item.
  • Order lots of stuff. There is a ton of free stuff available on the internet. Enjoy!!
  • Never enter your phone number. No one should need your phone number to send you something free in the mail. If the form requires your phone number, move on to the next free offer. There are plenty of them.
  • If a website asks for your credit card number, the item they are giving away is not really free. Close that browser window and move on to the next offer. All you should need to give is your name, address and email address.
