Author: To most persons, to receive a free laptop sounds too good to be true and they are half right. What they don’t fully realize is how the program works. Like most things, there is a system to it, and once you know the system, you look for the loopholes in it so you can benefit. Most of the free laptop programs are a scam of one type or another, but there are a few genuine ones. Of course a free laptop is valuable and is not going to come completely free, you have to expect to do give something in trade for it. Here then is how the “free laptop” programs usually work and how you can make it work for you. My roommate got one, so you can do it too!
Recently an owner of a free laptop program was interviewed by CNN and explained how the system works: The website where the free laptop is offered usually requires you to sign up for from 8-10 offers from their advertiser-clients. Some will be free trials of a product or service, but most will be $1-$5 memberships. Upon your signup, you are seen as a potential customer by the advertiser. That website owner receives a substantial payment from the advertiser for each person who signs up for their program. This can typically be about $200 per signup. If five advertisers give the website owner $200 per signup and he/she gets 1 person to sign up for five different programs, that equates to $1,000 for the website owner [from one persons' signup]. The laptop is usually available to the website owner at a wholesale price of about $500. The website owner is glad to send you a free laptop that cost him/her $500 in return for the $1,000 you made him/her. You get the laptop; he/she gets the $500 difference.
How to Be Intelligent and Cleaver-To Get Your Free laptop:
What you must remember is to pay attention to the rules of the program, so you can Unsubscribe at the earliest moment after you have the free laptop in hand. At most you may have to belong to 2-3 memberships for 3 months, that cost you $45 total, and maybe a couple other little programs that cost you $30, then your total cost invested in them is only $75 over three months, and a little time. That is a good trade off to most people. This is how you maximize your profit of the system.
