Do you want to get makeup, clothes, books and perfume without spending a single cent? No problem. Just turn on your computer, connect to the Internet and get ready to get lots of free samples. Here’s how to do it.

What You’ll Need:

Computer with Internet connection
E-mail address
Printer

Surf

There are loads of sites on the Internet that offer free product samples, but the thing is if you don’t know where to go, you’ll have a very hard time finding them. Try typing “free samples” on your browser and check the results that come out. You can also add keywords when you do your search, so the search engine will filter and bring back more relevant sites. For example, type “free makeup samples” if you want free cosmetics.

Check Out Company Promotional Offers

If you know a particular product’s or company’s site, you can easily take advantage of free samples. Just log on to their website, and find the section where they offer free samples. Usually, you’ll need to fill out your contact information on a form, so you can get the sample through mail. You’ll need to wait for a long time to get your free items though, at least four to six weeks.

Aside from these company sites, you can also go to sites that offer a listing of various companies that give free samples. Either you get the products there, or you’re redirected to the actual sites. These are good, especially if there are only certain types of products you’re interested in.

Opt For Downloads

Oftentimes, the samples you want aren’t actual items, but are virtual stuff, like wallpapers, clip art, music, games, and screensavers. In this case, you can settle for free downloads. You might need to sign up for a site or fill in contact details, like e-mail address. After you’re finished, just download the item, and you’ll get it instantly.

E-books can also be downloaded free of charge. Sometimes you get the whole copy, sometimes just a peek or an excerpt, for the author to promote the book. E-books are also used to hook you to buy other books. Downloading them is fairly easy, just make sure you have enough PC space.

Get Discount Coupons

Aside from having products delivered through mail, another way to get free samples is by getting discount coupons. There are sites that cater to these items specifically. All you need to do is print out the coupon, then present them at the particular shop. Either you get a discount or you get a free sample.

A Few Reminders:

Free samples are usually limited and don’t regularly appear. If you see one, grab it immediately. Chances are it won’t be there the next time you check.
Sometimes, free samples require handling and shipping expenses. Be aware of this before giving information out.
Some free samples also ask you to participate in various offers or fill out surveys before you get them.

Everyone loves getting stuff for free, and the Internet can surely help you do this. Just follow these tips, and you’ll get plenty of new samples without spending anything.
