How it works

These days, nothing is free, right? Wrong! As long as you know where to look... Free4u.org.uk is dedicated to bringing you all you need to know about getting your hands on more free gifts than you would have ever thought possible!

Free gift sites, such as those linked to on free4u.org.uk, use a form a affiliate marketing to give you free gifts such as games consoles, mobile phones and mp3 players. Every free gift site or 'referral site' requires that you complete at least one of the offers advertised on their site. The companies that provide these adverts pay the referral site a specific amount of money per sign up/product purchase. In other words, for every person you refer to their site who completes an offer, they receive around £10-£50 and sometimes more, depending on the company. The money generated from this form of affiliate marketing is then used to pay for the gift of your choice, as well creating a bit of a profit for the referral site.

If you still have your doubts, think of it like this: Have you ever walked into a supermarket and been offered a free sample of a product on that's on sale? Well the idea behind these sites is very similar. The advertising companies are indirectly paying us to test out their products, by paying the referral site, who in turn pays us in the form of a free gift. The advertising companies do this in the hope that we will then continue to use their products in the future. And why not? There offering some good stuff!!

As easy as 1, 2, 3!

Step 1 - Sign up

Once you've selected your gift (see the Free Gifts section), you will be directed to another site where you'll need to enter a valid e-mail address. This is VERY IMPORTANT! Most free gift sites will want to confirm this address by sending you an e-mail containing an activation link. Next, fill in the rest of your details, such as the address you want your free item dispatched to. It's important to note that for each free gift site, only one person may register per household or ip address (NB - the ip address of computer's on one network will be the same, for example, in University accommodation).

Step 2 - Complete an offer

After registering on the site, you'll need to complete one of the offers they provide. Completing an offer generally involves signing up to a free trial, creating online gaming accounts, or subscribing online to services such as broadband, personals sites and insurance. For more details on a some of the offers available, click here.

Step 3 - Refer your friends

Once you've completed the first two steps, all that's left is to encourage your friends to do the same. The free gift site will provide you with a referral link. This is what you'll need to give to anybody who wants to sign up, otherwise their referral won't be counted and you'll lose out on getting a step closer to your free gift.

Every free gift on every free gift site requires a certain number referrals to be obtained before you can get your hands on it. A Nintendo Wii, for example, requires only 9 referrals. To put it simply, you need to get 9 of your friends or family members to sign-up and complete an offer through your referral link. That's all they need to do, they do not need to get all of their referrals before they count as one of yours.

After completing all three steps, all that's left is for the free gift site to verify your referrals, and dispatch your free gift! It's as simple as that!
