Xpango Review

Hi everyone - hope you had a great weekend! It was my wedding anniversary this weekend (yes I remembered!) and I also had to attend a wedding so I lucked out!

Today I am going to review a relatively new site that is a little different from my normal reviews, but has some potential.

Xpango Review

Overview
If you remember my giftmonkey review a couple of weeks ago then you will be familiar with the type of site xpango is: It basically offers free gifts for people that sign up to a free offer and refer some friends and family.

Xpango is a UK based site (but open to most of the world) that offers free mobile phones, ipods, games consoles (ps3, xbox 360 and wii), mobile gaming (psp, nintendo ds) etc. as rewards for signing up and completing a free offer.

The majority of the offers are only available to the UK or US, but there are also enough international offers for people outside these regions.

Now once again before you yell scam this site can afford to do this because they are getting paid by the advertisers and then a portion of that money (in the form of gifts) comes back to you!

As I have said you need to sign up to an offer and then refer people to get credits - then your credits can be used for a free gift (it usually calculates 1 full referral for 1 credit):
-Mobile phones 17 credits and up
-Xbox 360 21 credits
-PSP 17 credits
-Nintendo DS 15 credits
-Nintendo wii 18 credits
-PS3 42 credits
-Ipod 14 credits and up
And many more gifts avaliable

A great thing about this site is that you can earn one gift and then get more referrals towards another gift ie. the amount of gifts you can receive is endless if you keep referring!

Xpango also has other ways of earning credits:
1. Clix system - you buy a clix package, which is shown on someones website. Then when someone clicks and signs up through your link you get the credit!
2. Buying crappy items - You can buy an item (mobile ringtone, usb stick etc.) and earn credits for it, which is good if you only need one credit to get your gift!
3.Selling their products on ebay - I know nothing about this, but apparently you can sell their ringtones and mobile accessories on ebay to earn credits!

Pros
Fairly easy
Some of the offers are free
Big rewards

Cons
Offers take a while to register as credits
Sometimes your referrals don't complete and offer and you don't get the credits

Tips - Follow these tips closely to receive you free credits

1. Sign up via the Xpango Website and choose your free gift.

2. Complete a free offer - the real networks offer is open to everyone and is free for 14 days and you are allowed to cancel this after 10 days. (I did this one and the credits took a while to be displayed, but I can confirm it works - be patient!) The blockbuster offer is also free and you are allowed to cancel before you are charged!

3. Get credits by referring people or another method offered by xpango (Make sure you copy down you referral link to share with friends and family)

4. Get your free gift and start from step 2 again!!

My opinion
I must admit I like giftmonkey more, but this site has very similar potential and still gets me excited! Xpango is fairly new and is worth getting into because the rewards and gifts are certainly worth the effort (even if you only sell them on ebay lol).

Giftmonkey review

Hi everyone hope you had a great weekend! Today I am going to review a different kind of website, but one that has very good potential.

Giftmonkey review

Overview
Giftmonkey is a website that makes money from people completing offers (free trials and such). Now you are probably thinking that's great and all, but how does that help me! Well for signing up and completing an offer and then referring a few friends to do the same giftmonkey will give you gifts or cash paid into paypal!!

Now before you say SCAM giftmonkey can do this because they get paid by the advertisers to get people to sign up - so they are making money and so can you!

Alright the next thing I bet you are saying - I don't want to complete an offer with my credit card and get charged for it! Well some of the offers are free or dirt cheap (when you think about what you can potentially make back they are worth it - ie. $2 ebook to make 3/4 credit towards a gift or money - definitely worth it)

Some examples of gifts include:
Playstation 3, Xbox 360, laptop, plasma TV, nintendo wii, ipod, mobiles etc. see website for required points

Cash - In US dollars 125 in increasing increments upto $1800

$125 US is only 6 points!! (approx 1 offer and 7 referrals!!)

One of the best parts about this site is you can get your free gift/money and then get more referrals towards another free gift/money!

Now I must tell you if you are a US resident you can choose between gifts or cash, but non US residents can only choose cash, but that is OK with me because I can turn cash into stuff lol.

The following countires are accepted (taken from terms of use):
Accounts may only be created by residents of the following countries: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Denmark, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Uruguay.

Pros
Potentially huge payouts/gifts
You can complete the process over and over for more gifts/cash
Fairly easy

Cons
Referrals are only worth credits if they complete an offer
Have to wait a couple of days for your credits to come through - (not too much of a problem really.)

Tips - Follow these closely to get your credits

1. Sign up and choose your free gift/money on the giftmonkey website

2. Complete an offer - try to complete a free offer or one worth $2 or less (best offers are):

• Free offer - betzip (some geographical locations excluded, if so complete the next best offer
• $2 (once off) offer - make money off ebay ebook (you don't actually want the ebook just the credits - and for $2 you can't go wrong)

3. Refer friends, family and others. Although only 1 sign-up per IP or postal address is allowed.

4. Once you have received enough points (credits) request payment or gift to be sent. Make sure you have a paypal account if you have requested cash

5. Repeat from step 2 or 3 for as many times as you like (you can only do each offer once!) for more gifts/money!

My opinion
This site does get me excited because of the huge potential and the fact you can make much more than the few cents I usually make from the other sites I have reviewed. I recommend trying this out, complete a free (or very cheap) offer and see if it works. If it doesn't you have lost nothing (or very little) and if it does you are on your way to some extra cash or free gift. I will keep you updated on my progress!
