It all seems too good to be true but once explained, it will become more apparent that free gift referral marketing is in fact a real and genuine scheme that has provided thousands of people with gifts for free. Websites that offer free gadgets and other free gifts are known as "referral websites". There are many of these on the web, mostly US referral websites, but it is now catching on here in the UK. Referral marketing allows consumers to receive free gifts through what are essentially, advertising websites

Referral Marketing is a proven method of advertising. It is a structured and systematic process that maximises word of mouth potential. Referral marketing does this by encouraging, informing, promoting and rewarding customers and contacts.

Users of a get-paid or free gift website, are encouraged to refer their friends (or indeed anyone) through a personal referral link, which would look something like: www.referralwebsite.com/?referrer=ID, where ID is the personal ID of the referring user. The user then earns an equivalent percentage of what the referral earns or this will go towards their free chosen gift.

Referral webites offer free gifts which can be obtained by people signing up to the site and then referring other people to the site through their link. Once the people have signed up they need to complete an offer. The offers are run by firms wanting to attract people to the site, and so pay the referral site a fixed amount per referral they generate. So if, say, the 'offer' firm offers £40 per referral completed then the referral site can spend up to £20 per referral to try to get people to sign up to the offers.

The offers normally consist of free trials or a small fee such as £5 needing to be paid so as to get the people using the site and product. After this the people would be free to cancel the offer or continue depending on their wishes. The sites offer a variety of different gifts depending on the amount of referrals you get for them, e.g., 8 referrals will get you a free Wii, or 2 referrals will get you a free Ipod Shuffle.

The gain free gifts website was launched yesterday.  This website is intended to provide details on how to obtain free gifts and free gadgets.  Free gifts include free iPhone, free iPod, free XBox, free Wii, free Nintendo DS, iPod Touch and many more gadgets for free! Check out the free gifts page for a complete list of available free gadgets and free gifts offers.

The website was put together after I discovered the world of referral marketing, which enabled me to get a free Wii for my boyfriends birthday.  I was strapped for cash at the time and started to the search the internet for way to get one cheap.  I stumbled across a free gift referral website which offered free gifts online to anyone that followed the 3 simple steps below:

1. Register your details with the Referral Website (for free).

2. Sign up for one of the many offers advertised on the website (most free).

3. Refer others to do the same.

It all seemed too good to be true but I did I bit of research and discovered that it was genuine with no hidden catch. These free gift referral websites had been up and running in the US for some time and were now in the UK. After being convinced that it wasn't a scam I decided I had nothing to lose by trying and a few weeks later I got the free Wii!!

I couldn't believe it actually worked, and have since spread the word to friends and family and anyone that will listen on how to get gifts for free. As some of the people I have spread the word to have also signed up from my referral, I am now on my way to getting a another free gift as there is NO LIMIT on how many free gadgets you can get.

The only difficulty has been convincing people that it is genuine and I have encountered a lot of cynicism as people find it difficult to believe you can get 'owt for nowt' and always seem to think there's a catch. This is why I have now made it my mission to spread the word, hence the website. Give it a go, get your free gift, you have nothing to lose.
