Tips Maximize Your Profits and Save Time

Here are some tips to help you save lots of time and make more money.

Helpful downloads (free):
I highly recommend that you download CCLeaner. Keep the box up while you are doing offers and then when it's time to clear cookies just click "run cleaner" and it clears off all the unnecessary files, cookies, cache etc on your computer. It will not erase anything important. Keep in mind that when you are logged into any site and then clear cookies... it will also clear your log-in cookie which inturn will log you out of the site. In order to prevent this from occuring open your ccleaner box, click "options", then "cookies". There will be 2 boxes. The box on the left contains websites you have recently visited. The box on the left is your "safe" box. Click on your program url's in the left hand box and add them to your safe box. This will prevent you from being logged out when clearing your cookies... so you will not have to log back in every single time you complete an offer.

Also download Roboform. This is a great time saver. It will fill in long registration and checkout forms with one click.

Sign up for a Free Private Phone Number with Netzero and use it on freebie offers since many of them will generate unsolicited calls. Anyone who calls your netzero number can leave a voice mail which you can check by phone or online.


Tips for doing GPT programs:
If you do the paid trial offers most will require a credit/debit card and you will need to cancel before your trail date ends in order to avoid being charged a monthly (sometimes weekly or yearly) fee. You will need to keep up with your offers and dates to cancel. I keep a notebook on my desk for this purpose. Every time I complete a trial offer that requires my credit card I write this info down:

* Date I signed up
* Company name and website address
* Length of trial period and date to cancel by (highlight the date)
* Fee for activation (sometimes $1) or shipping/handling charge if one is involved (you might do a trial for a hygiene product, for example, in which you pay $3.95 for s/h but will earn $25 for completing the offer)
* Monthly/weekly fee involved if you fail to cancel
* Company phone number and/or instructions to cancel
* Reward for doing the offer

Example:
4/7 Bargain Network bargainnetwork.com- 30 day trial - Cancel by 5/6 (highlight this) - $1 activation fee - $14.95/mo - 1-800-xxx-xxxx - $10 reward

After I write this information I leave a few lines underneath so when I cancel I can add the following:
* Date I canceled
* Person I spoke with and their i.d. or extension number (ask if they don't tell you)
* Cancellation confirmation number (ask for one if they don't offer it).
* Make note if you received and printed out an email confirming your cancellation (place printed confirmation in folder)
example:
Canceled 4/27 - Karen i.d. # 2593 - cancellation confirmation # 390102804 - copy in folder


The above may seem complicated but it really isn't. Once you do a few trials you it will all make sense. It takes me maybe a full minute to write all the above in my notebook. I highlight the date to cancel and I scan those dates every 2 or 3 days to see if I need to cancel offers. I try to do several cancellations at one time. Once I cancel I make a red line through the offer so I know it's taken care of but I keep the info visible incase I need it later on... if my cancellation failed to process correctly. Some people prefer keeping up with offers on a spreadsheet. Just do what works best for you.

Important Information about Prepaid Gift Cards:

Prepaid Gift Cards is my preferred method for offers that require a credit card or trial. They are also great for people who don't have a credit card...like teens, or whoever.

To avoid being wrongly charged I highly recommend that you use a prepaid Visa/Mastercard gift card to complete trial offers... or any offers that require a credit card. A prepaid gift card is one which you can purchase online, through your bank, and even from some local merchants. The cards usually cost anywhere from $3-$6. Put as much cash on the card as you want and then use this card to complete your trial offers. I don't recommend Prepaid Credit Cards because these types of cards will often allow insufficient charges whereas prepaid gift cards will decline all charges if the available balance on the card is too low.

It's always best to cancel your free trials before the deadline but if, for whatever reason, you fail to cancel in time... you do not have to worry about loosing money. And there are a few shady companies that advertise with these programs who have been known to charge credit cards after cancellations... so in my opinion it is best, especially on the offers that will require a large fee, to use a prepaid. The majority of the advertisers are honest and reputable but there's always a few exceptions. A prepaid will protect you from them. I used my bank debit card for an offer and ended up being charged $58 bucks after I canceled...so don't take the above suggestions lightly.
