Hi Leslie,

I just received payment from you after going green on 40.macrobucks through your link. Thank you! I am in the process of visiting the other links you provided and will complete those this week. I am also in the process of building a mentoring website (I already had the hosting account, sorry) to drive referrals to.

Thank you so much for getting me started. I will come back here often for advice and ideas.

Hey Congratulations Larry. The first payment is the most exciting (at least it was for me). That's when I realized that this can actually work. I wish you many more greens :)

Thanks for the prompt response Leslie! That's good to know because my home phone number is a VOIP number. The only other phone number I have is my cell and I get charged for those calls. I guess I'll have to make a decision about getting a landline or using my cell. Thanks again for the info.

No problem. Yep, that's very important to know, because anyone anywhere can have a VoIP phone and try to defraud the companies by trying to make them think they are a valid lead. That's why the industry has put systems in place to detect all VoIP phones to reduce that type of fraud. The main thing is that they are trying to be fair to both the users and advertisers alike.

Hi Leslie,
Great site! I am combing through it before I give this business a try. I am concerned however, about giving out my phone number to all of these companies. I found a place where I can get a free phone number and voicemail which is then routed automatically to my email. The only problem is that the area code would be different than my local area code. Would a phone number with an out of state area code disqualify me from completing offers?

Thanks

Hi Roberta, that free phone number and voicemail is probably a VoIP phone, which is not allowed by freebie sites. I do understand the concern about giving your number to all of the companies. However, that's just a part of the process. I wasn't too fond of the idea in the beginning, but I firgured out that it wasn't too big a deal.

Hi Olivier, there are a few sites out there that do allow non-us residents. However, most sites only allow US and Canada. A few allow U.K residents and Australian residents. I haven't kept up with that because I work with those that are exclusive to the U.S. and Canada. If you are interested in finding out more, send me a message and I will find a list for you.

Come to think about it, that's a good idea for another post. I will do some research and post sites that allow international residents.

Great, the folks Down Under (in the land of OZ) feel a bit left out sometimes when deals are only available in the US.

I do believe that there are freebie sites for Australia, so I might have to explore and try to find them.

Yes, there definitely are sites available to Australians. I'm going to work on that list of international sites and post that soon. Seems I'm getting a good amount of international traffic recently, so I have to try to please you guys too :)
