I was going to hold off on writing this post but today I received bad news from PayPal saying that they have concluded that they were unable to decide on my favor because it was an intangible item so InstantLunch27 you got away with my $30 and since you haven’t responded to the trade complaint on the forum the trade cops can’t do anything really other than ban you and give you a scammer tag so this post is dedicated to you and all the other scammers out there that do the same thing and because of people like you is that the Freebie Trading industry gets a bad reputation.

So it all started back in February 29 2012, Shenika (InstantLunch27) contacted me that she wanted to complete a Trainn site for me and on completion (Green) I would pay her $30 for the green, normally I would not pay on Green on Trainn sites but since it was InstantLunch27 and she had a good reputation (feedback) on another forum I treated her like I would treat a Veteran Trader and pay her on Green. So she goes Green and I send her the payment and then the next day I get a message from her saying and I quote:

hi i do not know what happen they closed my account this is the first i ever had a closed with trainn i sent a reply this what was sent so far. if it do’nt get fix in 2 business days i will refund thanks

So I just replied on March 2nd and told her just to keep me updated and let me know how it goes with the Trainn site. From experience I know how long it takes for the Trainn sites to answer a support ticket so I gave her time and I told her to refund me my paypal payment and then when everything got fixed I will just send it back to her to which she replied and I quote:

okay i will send it back i sent it to my bank so it should take about 3- 4 days to return it to my paypal
i will also put another ticket in

So again I gave her some more time so she could get the money back to her PayPal account then I contacted her again on March 15th just to see if she had any updates which she replied:

sorry have not been in touch with you been helping my daughter with her wedding for the 17th of this month let me check thru my emails to see if trainn relpyed to me 2 sent emails

So taking in consideration that supposedly she had a wedding going on I didn’t want to bother her on an important date like that so I waited until the 20th of March and sent her another message asking for my refund because it has been awhile since I’ve heard from her and since then (March 15th) I haven’t heard from InstantLunch27 (Shenika). And I still waited 5 more days from when I sent the message to get a response but when I didn’t I opened a trade complaint at the A4F forum on March 25th.

You haven’t responded to any of my messages, not even to the trade complaint post but you have the audacity to still login to JFW and TFX on April 12th? 2 forums which I’m a member, when all you have to do is send me a message and tell me whats going on? I see that you already got banned on the FS forum for scamming another member.

So enjoy the $30 I hope it was worth destroying your reputation on the forums…. And to the rest of the scammers, watch out because your name may end up on my blog!!

So it looks like a lot of people are asking me the same question about why I took CaliStyle101 off my Top Freebie Trading Forums post so I decided to make this quick post to answer that question and why I feel that Calistyle101 is dying.

Ok so to be honest CaliStyle started dying out when Leslie and Chris sold the forum, I don’t remember the exact day but I know it was on 2010 but it was sold to Mike who is owner of the MoneyBonanzas Network and some changes started taking place and the forum was just not the same after that. I believe Mike had the best intentions of trying to make the forum grow with the PPD Traffic and the MoneyBonanzas blogs, I will not take anything away from Mike because I believe he tried to make the forum and freebie trading community grow but once they lost the PPD Traffic on September of last year to another forum the traffic at CaliStyle went down significantly but it was expected after losing the PPD traffic.

Once that happened I guess the owner decided to take the forum on another direction that will still have a section of freebie trading but it will no longer be concentrated around Freebie Trading it will be more like an e-commerce site with a bunch of make money strategies, schemes, programs etc. And because the forum is no longer a Freebie Trading forum that’s why it was removed from the Top Freebie Trading Forums post. To learn more about the direction CaliStyle is heading please visit JustTryItOnce for more information.

It’s been awhile since I posted on my blog but since I’m taking a break from trading on the forums and just concentrating on my blog and my other ventures I will be having some new material here for you guys so please subscribe below to stay up to date on whats going on on the Freebie World! I’ll be talking about new forums that are popping up, scammers, and of course other make money online strategies so again subscribe below to stay updated. Thanks!

Orietx.com The New Gifting Social Network

So Orietx.com is my new venture on this post I will tell you what is Orietx.com, how you get paid by sending gifts and how the atom system works. Let’s get started:

What is Orietx.com?

OrietX is based on a community / “social network” composed of a group of people with the same mentality and ability to pass on their wealth voluntarily to others, via a gift called “atoms”. Everything is done through a virtual platform which allows you to contact the group.
OrietX is NOT an investment program and depends on each member, meaning that each user must bring at least 1-2 new members to your community / “social network”. It is by this method, where mathematical calculations results in moving you to the first “atom”, therefore, you too will be positioned to receive your gifts through it, as long as you and your guests follow all the rules.
Although, NOTHING is guaranteed, it depends on your effort and how do you work with your team. The money never goes to OrietX, but to the partner who is positioned in the number one “atom”. OrietX do not charge any “fee” or membership to be part of the “Website”. They only offer a free global communication platform for you, so you can share its products and services with all of our community / “social network” members.

Atoms? How That Works?

Atoms is the way how the team members rotate and each receive their gifts. A lot of the recent people that have been contacting me about this don’t understand how the atoms are different from a pyramid so now that I can visually show you how it works you will see that on a Pyramid only the person on the top, is the only person that benefits from the people below them, the people below keep working and recruiting and the person on the #1 spot is the only one benefiting. With the Atoms there’s 5 positions and all 5 positions work together so the atoms can move faster and each team member can get their gift and get paid. If you are on the first position you receive 3 Gifts or payments and you move on and the next person moves to the #1 spot. Lets use the image below for the example of how this works.

As you can see on the image above I’m on the 1st position (cangri787) and Tori on the #2 position and lets say you on the #3 position, Lizzy on #4 and John on #5. Ok once I receive Gift #1 from You #3 position, Gift #2 from Lizzy #4 and Gift #3 from John #5, the atom explodes and divides in 2 atoms meaning that I will be out of the picture because I already received my 3 gifts and now is turn for the other team members to get their gifts, I can either leave the team with my profits ($300 in gifts) or join one of the atoms that divided and help and send a gift to whoever is in the #1 position. Looking at the picture below you can see how the atoms divide and how the positions rotate once I (cangri787) receive all 3 gifts.

Ok so we already said that I wasn’t on the picture anymore because I received my gifts so the atom exploded and divided into 2 atoms, Now on the 1st atom YOU are in the #1 position, John from the #5 position move to #2 position and on the 2nd atom Tori from the 2nd position moved to #1 and Lizzy from #4 move to the #2 position. Now lets say I want back in because I just want to keep doubling my money, I come back and join the atom #1 where YOU are in the #1 spot, I need to send you your gift ($100) for me to be able to come back in and just keep the atom exploding until I’m back on the #1 position.

We as a team help each other get their gifts, we all have to contribute and when I say all I’m also including the #1 position, because if we don’t work together the atom just gets stuck, #1 position doesn’t receive their gifts and #2 doesn’t get their gifts until the team member on the #1 position moves on. So #1 has to recruit and so every other member on the team.

The good thing about this social network is that is private, friends inviting friends and helping each other make some extra $$. So this network is ONLY by invitation, you can’t register unless you are invited by a member. If you want to be part of the team I’m part off , the “Gold Diggers” team leave a comment below or contact me through the contact page. We work together and help each other, so we can all make some extra $$ and remember is a social network so you will be able to contact me or any of the other team members.

Proof?

I joined Orietx on Dec. 16 and on Dec.18 I received my first gift! I’m telling you, you can make some easy money!

If you have any questions, concerns or want to be part of the Gold Diggers Team, leave a message below or contact me through the contact page or you can even AIM/YIM/SKYPE me at jcangri787. I’ll keep this post updated with my next gifts so keep coming back and don’t wait to long to join the team.

Remember: Action Takers are The Money Makers

It’s been awhile since the last time I wrote a post on my blog but today I want to introduce you my latest project Bittie.me and how you can use Bittie.me to take your referral links or any link to that next level and have way better conversions either if you are looking for referrals, selling something or promoting your own personal sites.


I’m going to concentrate more on how to use it if you’re looking for referrals since this is a freebie trading blog but keep in mind that this has so many functions that I can’t go through everything on this post. So with that said let’s get started, Bittie.me is a link shortener but with a twist that will take your referral link to the next level because when someone clicks on your referral link you can add an overlay, it can be a video, a message, a form, an image, it can be pretty much whatever you want your referral to see BEFORE they go to the site. 

Let me show you a couple of ideas just so you can have a better idea of what you can do with this:

Idea#1 Lets say you when someone clicks on your referral link you want to show a video showing your new referral how to correctly register on a freebie site, you can now do both with a bittie.me link. See the example: gifts.innovusnet.com?refBy=4072 

Idea #2 Lets say you just want to show your contact information so your new referral can get in touch with you in case they run into any problems or have any questions, you can do that also. See the example: Example#2 

Those are just a couple of ideas, there are so many ways you can use Bittie.me to take your referral link or affiliate link to that next level that i can’t cover everything like I said before on this post but if you have an open mind I know you can also benefit from this site like I have and the best part is that you can use the services completely FREE. As a registered member which is also FREE you are able to Edit your links, Keep track of how many hits you are getting, and delete them if necessary. And it doesn’t just stop there, if your link is one of the Top 10 links getting the most hits your link is automatically added to the “Top 10″ page where all the visitors that use Bittie.me will see your link so you will get even more exposure and even make the link go viral since it will have a facebook “Like” and a Google “+1″ buttons next to it to make your links go viral.

I’m real excited to share my new site with the freebie trading community first, hopefully you guys can take advantage of this website and if you have questions feel free to leave a comment below and I will answer them asap.

A lot of new traders get lost with all the terms or lingo we used on the freebie trading industry, so I decided to share most of the terms that are used on the forums, so you guys get a better idea of their meanings.

So lets get started:

• Newbie, Noob, Rookie- Term used for the new traders coming into the freebie trading industry for the 1st time, Rookies.

• Green or Going Green- is used when a trader completes all the requirements and receives credit for it at the IFW/Freebie site. They use green, because the status on the freebie site will turn green.

• Yellow- is when a referral has succesfully signed up under your referral link but hasn’t completed an offer or received credit for an offer.

• Red or On Hold- a referral that has successfully signed up under your referral link but has been disqualified by the IFW/Freebie site for violating TOS, committed fraud or provided false information.

• MCR- stands for missing credit request, MCR’s are submitted to the IFW/Freebie sites when your offer doesn’t credit. Some sites have a waiting period before submitting an MCR others don’t.

• PM- stands for Private Message. On the forums you can communicate with other traders through PM or Private Messages.

• Scammer- dishonest trader.

• Offer(s)- advertising options you must complete on a IFW/Freebie site in order to complete your requirements and go Green.

• IFW- Incentivized freebie site. Websites that giveaway cash and prizes to those who meet the site requirements.

• PP or PPD- stands for Project Payday. PPD provides new traders with the training to start on the freebie industry for a fee or completing an offer(s). Most of the Vet traders have their own training sites, providing the same or better information for free. Just like this blog

• Free Green- free greens are given away by freebie networks do to a special promotion they might be running that month. What it means is that you are granted the Green so you don’t have to complete offers, you just refer people to the site.

• Forever Green- when a IFW/Freebie site is forever green/repeatable it means that you will only complete the requirements once and you can send unlimited referrals to that site to get your prize.

• DIY site- Do it Yourself sites don’t require you to get any referrals, you just sign up and complete the offers to get your prize.

• Offer Weight- Offers are assigned a weight or an amount of credit that the offer is worth. For example if an IFW/Freebie site requirements is 1 credit, you must complete  2 separate offers weighted at 1/2 credit to complete the requirements, or 3 separate offers weighted at 1/3 credit and so on.

• Ref- is short for referral. Is when someone signs up through your referral link provided to you by the IFW/Freebie site and completes all the requirements and goes green.

• A4F- stands for the Anything4free forum.

• TFX- stands for The Freebie Exchange forum.

• JFW- stands for Jaymans Freebie World forum.

• Cali- stands for the Calistyle101 forum.

• TR- short for trader rating. Trader rating is like feedback, once the traders complete their trade they leave feedback or tR for each other.

• PTC- stands for Paid to Click.

• GPT- stands for Get paid to. This type of freebie site pays users for performing a specific task or jobs.

• R4C- also known as Ref4Cash stands for Referral 4 Cash. You will see this section on the forums, this section is when you receive cash for completing sites for other traders.

• R4R- also known as Ref4Ref stands for Referral 4 Referral. Another section found in the forums, this section is when 2 traders exchange referral links and complete offers for each other.

• R4O- also known as Ref4Other stands for Referral 4 Other. Is another section in the forums, if you don’t have the cash to trade you can trade goods or services on this section.

• TM- stands for Trade Manager, the trade manager is were the trades are setup.

Those are most common terms used on the freebie trading industry, hope this helps some of the new traders out there. If I missed something you can leave a comment and let me know and I’ll add it. Thanks!

More useful terms used on the freebie trading industry:

• GLOSSARY OF TERMS used in the Freebie Trading Industry…Updated – There is an incredible amount of jargon associated with freebie trading, and you may sometimes wish to look up a specific term. It’s a good idea to glance over these so you have some familiarity with them. …

Last week or a couple weeks ago I was watching this show on TLC called “Extreme Couponing”, I don’t know if any of you guys that read the blog has watched it but to summarize real quick is about people that use coupons to pay less and save money on their groceries. For example a lady had a grocery bill for $250.00 and ended up just paying $6.95 after coupons, me and my wife couldn’t believe how much money this people were saving just by using coupons, that to be honest I used to just throw away in the trash. Me been the person that I am (wherever I can make money or save money I’m there) started doing research on this to see if its possible and how many other people are actually doing this and ran into a forum named WeUseCoupons owned by Nathan, Nathan also known as Mr Coupon was one of the persons featured on the show.

To check out the forum and learn more tips & tricks about couponing just click on the banner below:

So for the past week or so all I have been doing is learning about how to correctly use coupons, I don’t think I will go Extreme yet but if it can helped me save a couple dollars in my grocery bill it will be great, soon I will be going out and trying everything I have learned from the WeUseCoupons forum and I will be updating this post with my results. For now check out some of the videos I found from the show:

On this video we have Joyce with a grocery bill of $230.38 before the coupons and ended up paying only $6.92

On this video we have Nathan (MrCoupon) showing his 6 Figure stockpile

On this video we have Nathan (MrCoupon) behind the scenes

Remember, to learn more about how to save and use coupons to lower your grocery bill joined the forum WeUseCoupons.com, it’s free to join and believe me you will learn and save a lot. Soon I will be updating this post with my ventures so stay tuned.. Thanks!

How to Submit a Missing Credit Request (MCR)

This is a quick tutorial on how to correctly submit a Missing Credit Request or MCR. For those that don’t know a missing credit request is when you complete an offer at a freebie site but for some reason you don’t get the credit for the offer you completed, so when you dont get credit you submit an MCR with the freebie site to see if they can manually credit you for the offer that is not crediting.

1st Part- The first thing the freebie site is going to ask you for when submitting an MCR is the email confirmation with the full headers, a lot of people think that they can just copy and paste the email and submit it, when they clearly ask for the “full headers” of the email. Here is a list of how to get the full headers in different email accounts:

* For Gmail:
1. Log in to Gmail.
2. Open the message you’d like to view headers for.
3. Click the down arrow next to Reply, at the top-right of the message pane.
4. Select Show original.
The full headers will appear in a new window.

* For AOL:
1. Log in to your AOL account.
2. Open the message you’d like to view headers for.
3. Click Details under the To field.
The full headers will appear above the message text.

* For Hotmail:
1. Log in to your Hotmail account.
2. Click Options next to the tabs.
3. Select Mail from the left-side menu.
4. Click Mail Display Settings.
5. Under Message Headers, select Advanced.
6. Click OK.
The full headers for all of your messages will now be available.
Return to your inbox, and open the message you’d like to view headers for.

*For Microsoft Internet Mail:
1. Log in to your Microsoft Internet Mail account.
2. Open the message you’d like to view headers for.
3. Click the File menu, and select Properties.
4. Select the Details tab to display the full headers.
The full headers will appear above the message text.

*For Yahoo! Mail:
1. Log in to your Yahoo! Mail account.
2. Open the message you’d like to view headers for.
3. Click Full Headers at the top of your message.
4. classic Yahoo its down at the lower right hand corner you will see full headers
The full headers will appear above the message text.

*For Outlook Express:
1. Open Outlook Express.
2. From your inbox, locate the message you’d like to view headers for.
3. Right-click the message, and select Properties.
4. Open the Details tab in the dialogue box.
The full headers will appear in the dialogue box.

*For Apple Mail:
1. Click on the email you would like full headers for
2. Go to View>Message>Long Headers

Quick video showing how to get the full headers on Gmail:

Once you find your email with the full headers all you need to do is copy the whole email with the full headers and go to the freebie site and get ready to submit the MCR.

2nd Part- How to submit an MCR (I’m going to use a ZipNadaZilch site for this example)

1. Log in to the freebie site

2. On the top tabs, there is one that reads “support”, you’re going to click there.

3. Once on the support page, you’re going to see a link that reads “Submit a Missing Credit Request” you’re going to click on that link.

4. Once on the Missing Credit request page, first thing you need to do is choose the offer you’re submitting the MCR for from the drop down where it reads “Offer Completed”, then you’re going to choose the date the offer was completed from the drop down that reads “Date Completed”, after that where it says “Confirmation Email” there is where you paste the email with the full headers and just click on the submit button and you’re done.

Here is a quick video on how to submit an MCR on a ZipNadaZilch site:

Hope this tutorial helps you guys out there!
