Websites that give freebies?
have heard of websites that give away stuff for free if you complete surveys and i am thinking is this actually true and legal?
I find it hard to believe that they actually give people freebies, i have grew to my dad's little saying "there is no such thing as free stuff, nothing is free" can people give me ideas on how they actually manage to give away "freebies" and can they be trusted??

There are actually several sites online that give away free stuff. If you think about it, it makes sense for companies to give away free things because it is relatively cheap advertising. When you consider the fact that the average peak commercial on tv costs anywhere from $750,000 to $1.25 million per 30 second slot it is logical that companies would search for other places to advertise. One of those advertising avenues is to give away freebies so they can work the person-2-person angle.
Word of mouth of about how great a products is can be very powerful so why give some of them away for free to generate hype. That is the way most large companies view it. They are willing to give their products away for free because in the large scheme of things it is actually one of their cheaper methods of advertising and can be one of the most sucessful in terms of getting new customers.
I have gotten several small things for free over the last 3 years, with my best item thus far being an espresso machine. One of the best sites I have found is http://www.insanefreestuff.net/ as they have some great offers and keep it updated with fresh stuff. Good luck.

First of all, your father is absolutely correct! Nothing in life is "free". There are web sites that do exactly as you indicate, they will give away "free" items for completing certain manufacturers "requirements". What this means is that you have to purchase certain amounts or certain items in order to satisfy the "requirements". ( There goes the "free" stuff! ) Once you jump through all the hoops and purchase and report on the required items, you've likely spent more than the "free" item you'll receive for your troubles! This is how companies get rid of the "junk" that nobody ever purchased! Usually you could go out and purchase a similar item, ( likely better! ), than you would receive for your prize, and spend less money! So listen to your parents. You'll find out just as I did, the older you get, the smarter your mother and father get!

Yes, there are websites that give out money and prizes for filling out surveys. The survey results are sold to marketing and research companies, which is where they money comes from. However it takes a long time to earn enough points to redeem for prizes, and you're probably better off getting money from a job.
