Cash crate is one of my better earners.  Start by getting 35 cents here and there for surveys.  Then share your link with others (Cash Crate provides the link for you). You'll not only get credit for your surveys, but credit for the surveys your friends complete, too.  A get rich plan?  Hardly.  $30 a month for essentially doing nothing?  YES!.

Never EVER use your primary email account when ordering free stuff. Open a free email account. It only takes a few minutes.

Free email accounts (such as Yahoo, Hotmail and Gmail) are the way to go. Create an easy-to-remember name and an equally-easy-to-remember password. Don't put a whole lot of thought into either. It's just a junk account.

Chances are, you'll never have to check your junk account. But if you do (some freebie offers will ask you to respond to an email you before they'll send the freebie regular mail) -- you'll have a separate account for it.

If you happen to search for freebies on your own and mistakenly sign up for something that results in 50 new SPAM emails a day, it won't matter. You're not weeding through them as you would with your primary email account. Just go in every once in awhile, select all, and delete everything.

A good rule of thumb? Avoid ANY sites that have the word "free" in their URL - sites that only exist to give that free item away (for example, free_keychains.com). They're not promoting a brand name, and they're not giving away items out of kindness. So what else IS there?

Junk email and postal mail.

You won't get a keychain (or any other "gift" or "freebie"), but what you WILL get is a lot of mail (postal and electronic) you didn't sign up for.
