Free Product Samples
Getting things for free, simply by filling out your name and address online is, in my personal opinion, one of the most amazing things that has come out of the world wide web. I know that the internet has turned into one of the easiest ways to get information and make purchases, as well, as taking care of your personal finance and keeping up with friends and family, but lets face it.... We all love Free Product Samples.
If you know anything about the internet and collecting free samples, you know that it can be very difficult to find freebies that are legitimate. There are many websites online that claim to provide free product samples when they are really trying to get you to fill out long and tedious surveys that seem to never end. The truth is that there really are legitimate free product samples without surveys that can easily be obtained, as long as you know where to look for them.
Before you understand how we at, Free Product Samples can provide you with these freebies, you should understand exactly where these samples come from and how we go about finding them...

Believe it or not, 99% of the legitimate free product samples that you will find on the world wide web are actually advertisements. You may be thinking, "What type of company gives away their products for free as a form of promotion?", but it is really an ignominious technique that not only benefits them but you and I as well.
Think about it, how much do you think larger companies spend on advertisement each and every year? Advertising is a multi-billion dollar a year industry. There is a reason why so much money is spent on television, radio and magazine ads.... They help these companies make sales. Free product samples work the same way. A company spends a certain amount of money on advertising in the hopes that they will build their customer base and, in the long run, make more money. The only difference between free samples and television commercials is that we can truly appreciate a freebie.
Though this is not something that these companies may thinking when the put out all of these freebies, it certainly works out well for all of us. We now, thanks to this new wave of advertising, get to try out a variety of new products before we decide whether or not to buy them.

Where To Find Free Product Samples
There are several methods that you can use in order to hunt down various free product samples, other than bookmarking this site of course. These methods are what we here at Free Product Samples Live actually use to locate the freebies that we post for all of you.
The first of these methods involves actually using your preferred search engine to locate certain sites that are either offering up these free samples directly or secondary sites, much like this one, that are simply providing the public with links to a wide variety of free samples. When it comes to finding these websites there is not much else that needs to be done aside from searching. There are however a few things that you may want to keep in mind when you are doing this that will help you to locate legitimate freebies much more easily.
Firstly, you will want to avoid any fraudulent sample offers. This is something that can become quiet annoying, especially if you are not looking to spend hours of your time online looking for freebies. For the most part these scammy freebie offers have been put into play to try and make money off of unsuspecting web browsers. For the most part, these websites will ask you to fill out a few "short" surveys in order to get your sample. After a while you will notice that the surveys are never ending and there is no sample in site. This is why the first rule of thumb when it comes to searching online for free product samples is to avoid surveys. No matter how tempting the offer is, or how much you want to get your hands on the freebie that they are offering, if there is a survey, just leave the site and move on to the next one.
Another example of a fraudulent free sample site is one that attempts to scam the user out of personal information while distracting them with a free sample offer. There is certain information that is necessary when it comes to requesting a sample and other information that should never be shared with any free sample site. Now, there are certain things that a company will need in order to send you your freebie. For example, your name and address and even your email are perfectly reasonable requests. If the freebie site you are currently visiting asks you for anything more personal, such as, your social security or credit card number, there is a very good chance that the site is attempting to defraud you and you should leave immediately.
Lastly, there are sites that will offer you small free samples and only ask that you pay for the shipping costs. While this may sound fair at first, but usually these shipping costs will not even cover the cost of the sample. These offers are usually a way for these companies to make a few bucks on unsuspecting freebie fans. There is one thing that you need to remember when you come across an offer like this, fee means free. When searching for free product samples, you should never have to pay a single cent.
If you keep these 3 tips in mind when searching for samples online, you should be able to stay safe and avoid most scams. This, of course, only applies to people that are searching for samples online using a search engine.
Another way for you to get your hands on product samples is to go directly to your favorite product manufacturers. Companies like Proctor and Gamble, Johnson and Johnson and many cosmetic companies will promote their newest product lines through the use of freebies directly on their websites.
This method may take a little bit of time to start up but, in the long run, will provide you with many free samples that you can trust because you will be getting them directly from the source. The first thing you should do is make a list of all of the companies, and subsidiaries, that make all of the products that you have come to know and love. Once you have a large list, begin searching for their websites online. Bookmark these sites so that you can visit them on a regular basis. Most of these companies will have a section on their websites that is specifically made for their customers. You should be able to find a number of promotions that will provide you with savings, coupons and samples. This is a great way to not only try out all of the companies newest products for free but also save money on the products that you by on a regular basis.
You should also know that you will not always find a free sample promotion. This is why it is important to search as many companies as possible. It is also the reason why you will want to bookmark these websites, so you can check them often and be one of the first to request the sample before they are no longer available.
Once you have a long list of bookmarked sites, checking them on a regular basis and requesting all of the free product samples will take no time at all and is well worth it.
Yet another way that you can get your hands on freebies is through social websites like forums, Facebook and twitter. Basically, all of these site are an area where people can share links to various freebies with each other. There are both positive and negative aspects to this particular method.
The good aspects that are associated with using user run sites like those listed above to find free product samples is that, for the most part, you will not find any scam sites in the mix. Most of these freebies are shared because the user had a good experience with it. These people are part of a community and are trying to help their fellow forum members, twitter followers and Facebook friends. You may even be surprised at the amount of samples that you come across. With hundreds or even thousands of people scouring the web constantly looking for free product samples, you may be surprised at the results. Often times, you will be able to get freebies that can not be found on any other sample website.
One the other hand, there are a few negative aspects when it comes to getting samples on this type of site. When a sample is exposed to this many people, people who are all interested in things that are free, there may be an influx of requests for that sample. This will often lead to the premature withdrawal of said freebie. This particular down side is not one that would usually keep people away and for good reason. Forums are one of the best places that you can go to get your hands on the latest free samples.
If you would like to compile a list of free product sample forums, there is one a very easy way to do so. You can simply search your favorite search engine for any forum relating to free sample products and browse them until you find one that you are fond of, or one with a large amount of members. Remember the more members the more potential there is to free product samples.
