Where to Get Free Samples Online

Advertisers spend vast amounts of money marketing new products. The internet is a great way to get product awareness, and advertisers are using the World Wide Web to their advantage by making it easy for the average person to get a sample of their new product. If you spend time looking on the internet you'll be surprised at how many great offers there are to be had.

Normally, when I tell people about these offers, the biggest response I get is 'It's too much hassle to find them and most of them are scams, aren't they? I too was once guilty of this, it was only due to spending so much time on browsing the internet that I managed to stumble across many useful free sample sites.

Finding legitimate sites that give out useful information can be a pain, there are many dodgy web sites that lead you in to a false sense of security before they surprise you with the bill.

One of my most used sites is moneysavingexpert.com. This is a site produced by Martin Lewis; you may have seen him on the TV or heard him on the radio. Not only does he give advice on money matters, he also documents loads of money saving offers like 2 for 1 deals, cash back deals and free samples.

Once you've found a great site like this get signed up for email alerts, so you don't miss out on the best free samples. It's a good idea to set up a new email account for this sort of stuff just in case you get on rouge mailing lists.

It's not just the free samples and vouchers that are available free of charge, if you are looking for something a bit more substantial, get yourself signed up to a site like bzzagent.co.uk. This is a site that rewards for opinions and once you've become a valued contributor on the site, they will send you products to test and keep. It only took me 2 months before I was sent a free coffee maker to try out and let them know what I thought of it.

If you are looking for free samples that don't require work, such as filling out a questionnaire or writing a review then there are literally 1000's to be had. I could write a whole book listing the many sites that give away free stuff. So to make it easy for yourself look out for the online free sample directories or just Google 'free sample directory' and you'll find loads of great sites which will keep you up to date with all the latest free samples.

The main thing to remember about getting free samples on the internet is that free should mean free, if you are asked to make a payment then forget it, it's obviously not free. If you're new to this sort of thing the best place to start is in forums such as the one on the pre mentioned moneysavingexpert.com, here you can get advice from people who have experienced getting free stuff and learn from their experiences.
