Offer Activity Down

[missangie]

The number of people trying some of the newest offers put up over the last week or so seems really low. In fact, offer activity has been down over the last few months. I'd like to get a better understanding of this decrease in activity in hopes of turning the trend around. I'm looking for your honest feedback on this issue.

We asked recently about freebie offers. Most people indicated that they liked the revenue from freebies. Knowing that these are so important to you, I go through offers nearly everyday looking for different things that might interest you as well as good payouts to boost your earnings. It is discouraging to post so many earning opportunities and see so little activity.

Are you trying the freebie offers? Are there issues or concerns about the freebie offers that perhaps we can address? Is there something more we can do to help you in completing these offers? Are there offers you'd like to see that we have not yet posted?

I'm looking for your honest and helpful feedback. I know that crediting issues are a big concern when it comes to offers. Realistically, the offers are crediting within the normal range. Some credit and some don't--this is the case even for me. I watch offers and pull those that don't credit for anyone. If an offer is still up after the first day, it is likely crediting okay. If I post it in the forum or send it in an email, it is likely crediting very well.

Therefore, use this thread to tell me why you are or aren't doing the freebie offers. If your reason has something to do with credits, please post it here without lauching into a complaint.

I truly appreciate the comments and feedback from our forum members! You guys are the best. So, what's up with the offers?

Speaking purely for myself, once I reach the point in the quarter where I'm at or close to SM, I reduce the numbers of offers I do. This a)enables me to save the offers for the next quarter (and accept the gamble that the offer may not be there then) and b)gives me a break, and the freebie offers a break from my e-mail address/ip address.

I know you were speaking for yourself but you could have taken the words right out of my mouth.

I agree 100% with Heather as to how I do the "freebies". The only thing I will add is that I do however pick up with the offers during any type of contest where they're being "promoted". Doesn't always work well, but I try figuring a few will credit.

I do believe though that sometimes I need to take a break for 1.less time at the computer, 2. my info not being blasted all over.

i don't do the freebie offers as often as i used to only because most of them don't credit. modpath, elpath, mids and quiz jungle offers i guess know me as i have been doing them for some time now so i rarely do them. freebie offers are fun to do for the most part but it would be nice to know what kind of offers they are b4 i get into it and find out it is an elpath or modpath. does this all make sense? hope this didn't sound like too much complaining. was just stating how i feel. have a wonderful monday.

I did try 4 of the newer ones yesterday, got credit for none, and therefore decided it didn't make sense to do any more. If they had credited, I'm sure I would have tried others. Just discouraging, so I stop trying. Though I will try again after a few days - I'm REALLY trying to get to that $250 for the quarter so I need all the help I can get

I am not getting credit for any of the modpath, eltpath, eversave, or cool savings offers that I have done in the recent past, despite using new emails, browsers and different internet addresses. I've never seen my pending list so long. So, I'm not trying more than 1 a day and crossing my fingers that the drought ends. There are lots of new offers up right now that I'd really love to try, but I'm just not doing them because I believe they are the type that aren't crediting for me and I really don't feel like gambling my time. The MIDs and AN7 and Quiz ones do relatively well for me - If I see them, I do them when I see them.

My computer has been down. I am now up and ready to start working on offers. Actually I am right now. I loke the freebies. PLEASE PLEASE do not do away with them. If they left I would feel like there wasn't much left for me here except shopping. And shopping will have to start decreasing here soon to save money around here.

Several of the new offers are not fast crediting. They are manual which means that reports have to be pulled and credits have to be posted manually. You may actually have a few credits out there waiting!!

Thanks Angie! I'll keep my fingers crossed

I don't do the freebies since they ask for my phone number. I do sign up for the newsletters (Ideal Bite, Arcamax) that interest me if I only need to give an e-mail address or even a street address. I do the paid offers if it is something I want to get, and I've been working really hard on surveys so I can keep SM this quarter! Not much shopping this quarter, either, but that should improve as we get more into spring.
