Guess how I made money - Brainfood inside, no spoonfeeding.

Freecycle where some people give away free stuff and others fight for it. Keep an eye on the number of members in each group.

I created a Yahoo account and started joining these groups such as here. Have a look at the bottom of the page:

Group Email Addresses
Related Link: http://www.freecycle.org
Post message: freecyclenewyorkcity@yahoogroups.com
Subscribe: freecyclenewyorkcity-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
Unsubscribe: freecyclenewyorkcity-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com
List owner: freecyclenewyorkcity-owner@yahoogroups.com

For every group I collected a list of "Post message" email addresses separated by comas, like so: address1, address2, addres3 etc.

Two days and one email later my affiliate accounts were showing money.


How did I do it?


Hints: Trial offers, CPA offers, Downloadable items, "Somebody has already taken xxxxxx but you can get one here", "I can't send xxxxx so I uploaded it to xxxxxx instead", "I get free delivery if you...", Code breaker, "Enter your shipping details so that I could", "I need to make sure you can xxxxxx before I give you xxxxxxx so please xxxxxxxx".

Warnings: Read the group rules, most messages are moderated but if you follow the rules and format correctly 95% of them will make it past moderators.


Hopefully this will be a good thinking exercise for noobs and prevent a flood of people doing the same thing. I would also like to encourage you guys to discuss potential possibilities amongst each other here in this thread.
