The word freebies itself has such a positive connotation. If you are an avid money saver such as myself, it almost makes you want to jump for joy. As with all things good, however, someone, somewhere has found a way to turn it into something bad — the freebie scam. Are freebies really free??? For those not familiar with freebies you may wonder what they are and why a company would give something away for free. Basically a freebie is something free a company is willing to give to you in order to hopefully obtain your business in the future. There are tons and tons of legitimate freebies to be found so don’t be too skeptical. On the other hand, if it sounds too good to be true it usually is. For instance, receiving a free container of baby formula is a legitimate freebie to entice you to try their formula and therefore make money from you in the future. A free laptop offer on the other hand usually has a catch. Maybe it includes signing up for other offers first or something along those lines but just be careful. Most of the legitimate freebies will only ask you to simply fill out a form and that is it. To avoid being the subject of one of these scams when searching for freebies, follow these simple rules below:

1. Be careful of freebies that require you to sign up for several other offers before receiving your freebie. Usually these offers require a credit card number and may be free for the first 30 days. It may be tempting depending on the freebie and this is up to you but most of these trials will automatically start billing you after the trial period. If you do decide to sign up for these make sure you keep record of what you signed up for and when so you can be sure to call and cancel the service before they start billing you. I usually advise against signing up for anything that requires a credit card number.

If you dream of working from home full time, but can’t figure out how to make it happen, you need to read Jill Hart’s latest ebook called, “Work at Home 101: Your Work-at-Home Starting Place”.

In this book you’ll find four options to help you decide what way will bring you home. While these have proven to work for others, they may not work for you unless you understand how to make it happen. This book will show you how to make each option happen.

Jill’s book is 32 pages long, so it’s an easy read. You’ll find inspiration and instruction at the same time. This makes it easier to find a way that’ll work for you and ultimately bring you home. It’s important to remember to know this isn’t an overnight, bring me home, option. It’ll take time and hard work, but when you read Jill’s book you’ll find the steps will be easy to follow.

Jill’s book is a Kindle only version and from now until January 9th it’s free to purchase. Click here to get your copy of this awesome book and learn how you can begin the steps needed to work from home.

It’s always fun to win a prize, but it can be hard to find those prizes unless you know where to find them. There are several sites that do reviews and giveaways and those are so much fun.

When you look at a review of a product you learn about the ups and downs of the item and that helps you decide if you want to make the purchase or not. One way to decide for yourself is to use the product for yourself. The best way to do this is to have the product given to you for free. There are sites that give the review and then the instructions that you need to follow to have your name entered for the drawing.

One site that I found that’s perfect for this exact thing is Joan’s Reviews and Giveaways. Joan has a wide variety of products and she gives a number of different ways to win each item she reviews and giveaways. Click here to see what Joan has going on at her site.

When you make a purchase, more times than not you’re looking for a product someone else has told you about or you’ve read it online or in a magazine. You want to make sure the product you are considering will do what you want to do and you’ll want to make sure it will last as long as you want. This is why it’s a good idea to read product reviews on the product you’re considering.

As a Work at Home Mom, I trust other Work at Home Mom’s and I value their opinions. This is why I look for reviews from these fellow mom’s. I have found a site that is perfect for reviews of all sorts. That site is Two Classy Chics and it’s owned by Shelly Hill and Chris Carroll.

Not only will you see great product reviews, but you’ll also find giveaway’s as well. What better way to try a new item than to win that item in a drawing. Two Classy Chics gives you that awesome chance with a lot of their blog posts.

So if you’re looking for a way save money while learning about the best products around, you need to connect with These Two chicks and see what you can do. Click here to see a complete list of the products they might be giving away.

As WAHM’s it’s important we find deals when we can and this site will help make that happen. You should check this site regularly so you can see what they have to offer. Free samples, coupons, and deals are always good on the pocket book so you should visit this site and fan page as often as possible.

This week’s WAHM Freebie comes from Facebook. I was looking through the fan pages searching for something free and I ran across a fan page called Free Snatcher. Free Snatcher offers links to free samples, coupons, and other deals. You can also go to their website at freesnatcher.com for even more freebies.

When you need to save money so you can pay for the important things, you need to do what you can to make it happen. Free samples and coupons are one way of making that happen. Most companies realize free samples and coupons are a good way to get people to their site and purchase their products.

I hope you enjoy this freebie. If you run across one that you’d like to share, please add it to the comments so we can all take advantage of it.

I was searching for a site that had everything in one place. Coupons, freebies, and deals were just a few of things I was looking for because I knew it would help me with what I need. I ran across a site called Money Saving Mom.

This site was perfect. The great thing about this site is that it has everything I was looking for and more. It’s so helpful when you’re trying to find what you’re looking for.

When you’re trying to save money where you can, you need to consider all of your options and get help where you can. The Money Saving Mom website and fan page on Facebook are two places you want to check out. There is so much that I’m sure you’ll find something new each time you visit.

I just wrote a short post about how my daughter Cassidy likes to bake, and I encouraged moms who enjoy cooking with their kids to write a few articles with their ideas.

If you’re a mom whose looking for ideas of how to cook with your kids, you might like to take a look at the many recipes and cooking ideas already published at WAHM Articles. You’ll find plenty of of child-friendly ideas, and adult favorites too.

I recently added Amazon links to WAHM Articles’ content. I’m not sure if I like it yet, but we’ll see if it makes any difference – for the better or worse.

In the “for the better” category, I’m hoping to increase earnings from the site, to keep WAHM Articles running smoothly.

In the “for the worse” category, I’m concerned the additional links will diminish some of WAHM Articles’ credibility.

In either case, you can make more money from your own content by adding Amazon Content Links to your own site when you reprint an article, or publish one of your own.

A word of caution – don’t use Content Links, or any other type of ad, on your sales pages. On those pages, you want your reader focused on you, not distracted by someone else’s ad.

You can get your free Amazon affiliate account here.

Update: You can limit the number of context links Amazon places on your page. When I first set it up, I went with the default of maximum 10 links on a page. I didn’t like the way that looked though, and was concerned it might detract from the content. So, I changed the settings to display a maximum of three context links.

I’m back with Free Book Friday. I have to apologize for missing the last few weeks, but I hope to make it up to you today!

This week’s free book is a gift from me. It’s all about why you need a ghostwriter, how to find a the right ghostwriter for your business, and how to work with your ghostwriter to get the results you want.

I know you’re already a good article writer, but even great writers sometimes use ghosterwriters. You can use a ghostwriter to

• draft an article you don’t have time to research
• fill up your blog or autoresponders
• complete an article that has been on your backburner for too long
• finally finish up that eBook you’ve been talking about for months
• and a myriad of other reasons!

What you do with the end product is entirely up to you.  When you work with a ghostwriter, you own all the rights, so you really can use it anyway you want Рeven sell it.
