A little extra!

Ok, im printing it.

Posted by James Published in Articles

Ok, here’s the email I got.

Well James, so far most of what you have emailed me is a farce. We have to order something to earn points or pay for a subscription and most are dishonest. You are as just as bad since you seemingly are sending us legitimate offers but in real life, you are earning money to give us stupid offers that we should and never would accept unless we were totally desperate or just plain stupid. I have tried to look at the offers you send us and they aren’t right.

Please print this email and then I will maybe think better of you. But what I really want is a real web site to earn money I would deserve. I am not looking for a miracle but something I could earn by hard work.\

If you can’t send me or anyone else a legal, earning website, then don’t bother send us a thing.

Let’s see you print email.

Truly, June

And, my response

:::::sigh:::::
ok. Are we talking about freebies? Contests? Step 2 offers? You know, the ones that give you a free washer and dryer for completing 25 gold, silver, or bronze offers?
Or are we talking about survey companies or points sites? And just to clarify, are we talking about my website or newsletter?

and since you are daring me to post this, i will post my reply as well and I dare you to hang around and read the comments. Deal?

so lets talk about all of the above.

Freebies – I list them in the newsletter and the website. Legitimate offers by legitimate companies. If they dont send them, its not my problem. I just link to them. Now I have a set of criteria I follow when listing freebies (I try to avoid scams, old offers, etc).

Contests – I list 1 contest a day in the newsletter. I have a contest section on the website. These are contests. People TRY to win things. A few people won cars. I get paid for listing some contests, yeah (like 5% of all of the ones I list). But so what. It doesnt make the contest any less legit.

Step 2 offers – How many times have you seen one in the newsletter in the past 2 years? How about ZERO. I put 1 a day on the website on the main page. Thats it. They pay the website bills.

Survey sites – These are give and take. Some are good, some are bad. I dont know. I go by my own experience with them and by what subscribers tell me. I have also listed surveypolice.com quite a few times. Im not trying to scam anyone here. And again, some of these I list earn me money. I also get referral points.

website – you’ll see a couple of banners on the site. you’ll also see some sponsors and one step 2 offer listed on the main page. and…………………you’ll see google adsense throughout the site, which is easy to spot. Yup, im rolling in the dough, right?
Oh, but what about freebies and samples and contests, oh my! Throughout the entire site, I have close to 1,000 links. Over 900 of them go to LEGITIMATE offers.
And guess what? Legitimate website visitors come to the website to get legitimate offers that are sent to their legitimate house…at least thats what everyone tells me.

newsletter – I dont want to break down every single link I list. I’m tired.

So in conclusion, yes, my response is smartass. It’s that every few months I get an email like yours that claims nothing is ever free, you are a scam, etc, so on and so forth. Just a slight overexxageration, huh?

But whatever, you dared me to respond and publish this….

Free Medicine?

Posted by James Published in Articles

I am not sure why I got it – maybe I checked on it online. Anyway I
got a small flyer about prescription help. I sent my information in
and hope it works. Free meds??
Call toll free 1-888-812-5152. Web site is www.freemedicine.com.
You can download and print out the forms they want and send you.
They will give you the information needed.
We – wife and I are on disability and just got cost of living increase.
So now we are getting too much and I will have to pay 15% of cost as
copay. If they hadn’t given me the coli it would really have been a
coli as I would still be able to afford the meds. Now I will have to
pay over 150$ for copay for 2 meds – together we take 10 but most
won’t come anywhere near that – the coli will be gone in 4 months or
less. a cost of living decrease!
Good luck and I hope this helps!
Jim

Thanks Jim, I appreciate it. Here is the website he is talking about.

Subscriber wins car…

Posted by James Published in Articles

This is soo cool! Congratulations again!!

This email is dated 11/21/2008

Hi James!

Did you publish the Parliament "Smart Escape" contest sponsored by Phillip Morris?
I'm thinking that your site is where I entered the contest, and guess what!!? I got
a Fed-Ex the other day stating I am one of 20 Grand Prize Winners! The grand prize
is a 2009 Smartfortwo passion Cabriole and a check for $6,100.00! OMG! I won a CAR!
I just bought a pack of post-it notes today and I am putting your website on them
and passing them out to anyone who asks how I won this contest! I hope that's ok

Hi James,

It's me again...just giving you an update on my prize.  I received the $6,100 check
last month, and it is sitting in the bank waiting on my car to arrive (don't want
to spend it if I'm going to need it for the car). Someone with smart car called my
house yesterday and left a message with the number for the Atlanta dealership,
where my car is being shipped to now.  The eta is 3-13-09, because the car is
literally being "shipped" from France. I did find out that it is blue metallic,
with silver trim and black leather seats. I'm SO excited!!!!!!!!!!!!  Now it is
27 days and counting. You definitely will get pics when I get the car.

I skipped a couple of her other emails, but here is the last one on 03/15/2009
Hi James!

I finally got word that my car was in Atlanta at the SmartCenter in Buckhead,
so my husband and I drove down there to get it. You know, I still had trouble
believing I had really won a car til they handed me the keys and said "it's
yours".  Anyway, I promised you pictures, and here they are.  There's one of
me in the car, one of the interior, and several of my husband making fun of
how small the car is on the outside.  But, he is 6'4", and he rode in and
drove the car with no problems regarding height.  There is lots of room inside,
despite it's appearance.  And every single inch of space is utilized to the
fullest.  The only problem:  it doesn't have a spare tire, or a place to put
one.  You get a can of fix-a-flat and a pump, or you call for roadside
assistance.  It really does get 40 mpg or better, depending on how and where
you are driving.  I could go on and on, but I won't.  Suffice it to say, I
am tickled pink, blue, red, green, yellow, ......

How many dogs does it take to change a lightbulb?

Posted by emichelle1113 Published in Humor

How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?

(see each breeds’ answers below)

	1. Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we’ve got our whole lives ahead of us, and you’re inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?
	2. Border Collie: Just one. And then I’ll replace any wiring that’s not up to code.
	3. Dachshund: You know I can’t reach that stupid lamp!
	4. Rottweiler: Make me.
	5. Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.
	6. Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!
	7. German Shepherd: I’ll change it as soon as I’ve led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven’t missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.
	8. Jack Russell Terrier: I’ll just pop it in while I’m bouncing off the walls and furniture.
	9. Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I’m sorry, but I don’t see a light bulb!
	10. Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.
	11. Chihuahua : Yo quiero Taco Bulb. Or “We don’t need no stinking light bulb.”
	12. Greyhound/Saluki: It isn’t moving. Who cares?
	13. Heeler/Australian Cattle Dog: First, I’ll put all the light bulbs in a little circle…
	14. Poodle: I’ll just blow in the Border Collie’s ear and he’ll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry. Keep going down

How many cats does it take to change a light bulb?

Cats do not change light bulbs. People change light bulbs. So, the real question is:
	“How long will it be before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a massage?”
ALL OF WHICH PROVES, ONCE AGAIN, THAT WHILE DOGS HAVE MASTERS, CATS HAVE STAFF!

Get My Newsletters From Topica/Email-Publisher.com ? Do Me A Favor And Unsubscribe

Posted by James Published in Articles

* Note: Just so there are no problems, please subscribe first by adding your email address below. THEN when you get 2 newsletters, unsubscriber from the topica one (email-publisher)
Thanks.

Yup, i’m asking you to unsubscribe from my daily newsletter. The newsletter service (Topica) has just been too unreliable in the past few months. No one is getting the newsletter, non working links, etc.

Just to clarify, it’s the email you get from justfreestuff@topica.email-publisher.com

The unsubscribe link is at the very bottom of the newsletter and looks similar to this:

http://topica.com/f/unsub.html/aaadwco7bbr7ae19jv6lqnlqlno0atrgewveqa8

After that, just resubscribe by adding your email address below. This is a different newsletter service i’ve been using the past couple of years.
