Making Money Online with IFW Marketing

May 6th, 2008 | 4 Comments | Posted in Make Money Online, Money-Wealth

Simply put IFW’s or Incentivized Freebie Websites are the simplest way for anyone to make money quickly on the Internet. The concept of IFW marketing was developed several years ago as a new way for companies to build interest and reach new customers.

I am sure that at some point in time you have come across a website offering a free iPod or other gift, in return for completing their sponsor offers. They can do that because they are paid for every offer you fill out, and usually paid very well. These websites are called IFW’s, they have offered you gifts or cash in return for joining their affiliate programs. The biggest IFW program around is Project Payday, but here is the kicker, they won’t teach you anything that you can’t learn right here!

Traditional affiliate marketing, requires a much stealthier approach than todays IFW’s, due to the fact that you are not allowed to offer incentives to entice new comers into signing-up for the program or service you are marketing. It is no secret that people love freebies, and giving away free stuff is what has built such a large interest around these IFW’s recently. Your job as an affiliate marketer, is so much easier if you have the ability to offer a prospective customer a reward for joining, rather than using traditional trickery to bring them in and make the sale.

Finding IFW Programs

IFW programs usually require you to sign-up, fill out a couple of offers to activate your account and then draw in some referrals to make money. Every referral that activates their account under you make you money. The following sites will each pay you as much as $500 to $1000 for every 10+ referrals you are able to get signed up and activate their account. Think about it, we are talking about 10 people here, get your friends and family involved and you have already made a cool thousand bucks for doing nothing!

Once you have your accounts setup and activated, you can begin making this system work for you, and believe me it will, you’ll be surprised at how easy this really is. If you are wondering how this is going to work for you, the answer is simple. Setup a quick website, use an existing website or visit some of the IFW forums and find people that you can refer.

Think of this as a traditional affiliate marketing method, drawing people in and getting them to sign-up. The IFW forums, see the list below, allow you to start new threads and offer to pay people for signing up under you. Lets say that for every person you make $5, offer to pay someone $2 to sign-up below, they get paid and you make a profit. Once you get started and get your feet wet a little bit, you will find new ways to make even more money. For example some ringtone offers pay you as much as $15 for each new person you refer and online courses and other services pay even more.

Some people are easily making $2000 a day with this technique, but it does require work and a little creativity on your part. You can find new offers in the hundreds of affiliate networks available on the Internet, sites like Commission Junction will work well.

Things to Remember

Please, if you forget everything else you have learned in this article, remember to cancel the trial offers that you have signed up for to make this system work. If you don’t remember to cancel your free trials and so on before the renew/billing date this project will cost you an arm and a leg, but if you can remember to cancel everything on time, you will make some pretty quick cash.

This is one of the easiest ways to make money online, and people are flocking to see it in action. It requires little work, and offers great rewards which is what everyone has looked for. This system will probably not make you rich! But it can easily make you some extra spending money if you do your research.
