In Project Payday, the term ‘Method 1′ refers to how you start out in freebie trading - you get paid by someone to be their referral. As their referral, you will follow their affiliate link to a freebie site and complete enough offers until you have ‘gone green’. The people paying you are practicing ‘Method 2′.
I spent a good deal of time looking at the different freebie sites before choosing which one to start with. Something I noticed was that a lot of the offers repeated on the different sites. Also, a lot of the offers were things I wasn’t interested in, or were too expensive for me to feel they’re worthwhile.
A common newbie mistake is to jump into a freebie site and do a bunch of offers, without really planning ahead for what they are doing. This leads to the following problem: two or three sites down the road, you’ll suddenly realize that there are no more affordable, interesting offers, and you’re stuck. Yes, sites add new offers every few weeks, but really, you don’t want to have to sit around and hope there’s something you like.
So, what to do?
First of all, never accept a trade agreement for a site without looking over the offers first. You always want to have an idea of which offers you’d like to complete, and make sure there will be enough credits from them to go green on the site.
One strategy which was put forth by my mentor was to begin on sites that don’t have many offers. Once you complete that site and move on to a different one, there’s going to be more offers to choose from, so the risk of running out is lessened. In general, I like this strategy – and you really want to have a good mentor or trading partner who can direct you towards the kind of sites you’re looking for.
My personal strategy evolved from calculating a number of things: wanting to build a good network of trustworthy sites that I could take with me to Method 2, wanting to go green on lots of different sites so I could build up my Trade Rating, and of course, wanting to make money!
