Free iPod Guide

Along with FreeLunchRoom, FreeIpodGuide.com is a website where you can get in touch with people in the Freebie World. You can post a thread in there or in FLR (Free Lunch Room) for people to contact you about a "trade."

Which leads me into my next point....the Freebie Lingo:

There are a few terms you would have to know but will take very little time to pick up-

FreeLunchRoom has a very nice tutorial which I will post in here:


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PM = Personal Message. They are very similar to emails and accessible on the site you sign up

TR = Trade RatingEvery time you complete a trade (whether you’re on the paying or receiving end), you will receive 1 TR point.

THREAD = A thread is sort of like an email. Every time you send a new email…it’s like posting a new thread. Every time you reply to an email…it’s like replying to a thread. When someone says, “Try to keep it in one thread” what they mean is don’t keep clicking “NEW TOPIC” every time you want to respond to a thread. In a nutshell, every time you click the “NEW TOPIC” button you are creating a new thread (i.e. email). If you are reading a thread and want to reply to it…use the

BUMP = Bring Up My Post…every time you BUMP a post that you have written in the forums, it will automatically bring it up to the top spot (under the “Announcements” and “Sticky” threads). You must either click POST REPLY or use the QUICK REPLY box (at the bottom of every page) in the thread you want to BUMP.

PAID ON GREEN = You will receive your payment once you are GREEN. All sites have a box near the top of the page that will say, "CONGRATULATIONS! You have met the offer requirements!" as soon are you are 100% green.

PAID ON APPROVAL = You will receive your payment once the other trader's site has been APPROVED for payment.

PAID ON PAYOUT or CASHOUT = You will receive your payment once the other trader has RECEIVED his/her prize.

GONE YELLOW = You’ve signed up (been referred) to the site, but haven’t yet completed any offers.

GONE GREEN = You’ve signed up (been referred) and completed the required amount of offers on the site. This is when you will see the "CONGRATULATIONS! You have met the offer requirements!" message.“In order to go green for someone, all you need to do is complete your offer requirements after you've signed up under their referral link. You DO NOT need to complete the referral requirements.”

GONE RED/GREY - DQ'd = DISQUALIFIED - PUT ON HOLD = “You have violated one or more of the site’s terms and conditions.” The following is some great info posted by wookie0611:
Quote:
If you violated any terms of service (tos) you will go red. If you use fraudulent info when signing up, you will go red. If you complete the same offer more than once you will go red. If your computer is runnin proxies you will go red (aol and netzero are proxy users!) If you sign up for an offer and cancel right away you will go red. Also, as with the offers, you can only register at each site once, there are sites that have more than one in their network. For example, if you sign up at gamingmonster.net you are also allowed to sign up at LCDmonster.net

REFERRAL LINK = The link a trader needs you to click on in order to get credit for his referral. It will look something like this:http://the.name.of.the.site.com/?referral=1234


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You don't have to stress over memorizing them, they come in time. =]

These sites you sign up for, you may ask, are like the ones below:

ZeroPriceTags.com

Wish4Free.com

AllFreebieWorld.com

If you notice, all of the sites listed above have different parts to their site. You may sign up on each part of a website. For example, Zeropricetags.com has the following sites:

Bonus.ZeroPricetags
Cash.ZeroPricetags
DIY.ZeroPricetags
DoubleCash.ZeroPricetags
Gadgets.ZeroPricetags
Games.ZeroPricetags
Giftcards.ZeroPricetags
Gifts.ZeroPricetags
Laptops.ZeroPricetags
Phones.ZeroPricetags
Plasmas.ZeroPricetags.com

The main difference between the websites is the "prizes" that they give out when you receive the required number of referrals. All of the sites, however, give out cash, so if you're not interested in getting a plasma tv from the website, you can still get cash, which is just as good as money! (Allusion to a Yogi Berra quote for all of you Yankee Fans)

Anyway, post comments anytime and I will reply in detail to anything you need. Good luck!
