Goood morning everyone!
I just added over 30 new offers. Most of them r for helmets which is great for the contest we have going on. Im thinking of a new contest to start tomorrow also...just not sure what im gonna do yet. So check out the contests as soon as you come online.
Once again we have alot of new users, and we want to welcome all of you to fire house offers. I have had some questions on offers not approving, and so, Im going to add on here how to do offers, this will include how to have your browsers set up correctly, but first im going to add on here something texxie put in the forum. Im sure you all can see she is a leader in the contests etc, this is because she knows how to do them correctly and get them to approve. Do her offers always approve? NOOO...there are many she has to delete and re do. But her system seems to work very well...and thats what we all want here..is for everyone to make money. Right? Right.
Now before I add all that on...this past weekend we had to mark 2 users for fraud. So again Im going to stress make sure you ALWAYS use correct and honest info in your offers. These advertisers will call you, they will mail you (this depends on the offer of course) and the particular advertiser who marked them for fraud has the 10K scholarship offer we have going on. DO NOT use a fake credit card, or a DEBIT card, unless it says you can use a debit card. IF you are going to use a debit card, then make sure that if it is a trial, that you use it responsibly, and have money on there for the next payment they take out. Now..you can cancel trials..but be forwarned...if you continually cancel an offer/trial the advertiser is going to mark it as fraud.
And when an account is marked as fraud we have NO choice but to block the account. When this happens you lose ALL earnings...everything.
Now...here is texxies post...try it..u cant lose..
i do offers early in the morning and late at night. I've gotten to where i do the dailys when i have time in the afternoon but not much else.
i clear my cookies MANUALLY after every single offer no matter what.
I do roughly five offers at a time and do more as those first 5 credit
only one offer from each "family" at a time
I actually count how many pages i go into. like, i do the yes/no pages through page 18 then pull up the special offers page and click on TWO on the first page and then one on each til i get to the end
I always click yes to atleast one offer that i don't HAVE to such as a newsletter or something
gmail "dot" system
I don't close my windows from offer 1 until i've finished with offer 5
If i can think of any more, i'll let you know. i just have my method i guess but don't really think about it LOL
good luck to you!
----------------------------------------------------------------
And here is my how to do offers and set up browsers..
For fire fox:
On the top tool bar you will see:
TOOLS--click on then and go down to where it says--options--
Now click on options-KEEP OPTIONS TAB OPEN UNTIL DONE SETTING EVERYTHING UP.
In options..click on the "privacy tab"
About the middle of that window you will see "cookies". Make sure "accept ALL cookies" is checked.
And then I have mine set to keep cookies until they expire.
In the same options window..
click on Tabs tab..I have it set so new pages open in new window.
In the same options window..
click on "content" tab
You will see "block pop ups" make sure this is NOT checked. So that all pop ups can pop up.
I have found with fire fox, that my ccleaner does NOT clear out my cookies like it is supposed to. You can download "cookie culler" and use that.It is actually a fire fox add on. And you can manage which cookies you want deleted and which ones you dont. For instance: when doing offers, you would make sure fire house offers is "protected" and just delete the rest. You can find it here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/82
Or, as I prefer to do..I delete cookies manually in fire fox. Just make sure when doing this, you skip over which ever GPT site you are working on.
You can delete cookies manually by going to:
Tools...options..cookies..then click on "show cookies" and just click on the first one and go on down the list, being careful to skip the site you are working in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Setting up IE:
Internet explorer:
Tools then click on internet options..in the window that opens click on the "privacy" tab. You will see where it says "select a setting for the internet zone" And a scroll bar. Scroll that all the way to the bottom, and it should then say in bold print, under "select a setting for the internet zone" ACCEPT ALL COOKIES"
On that same tab, below the scroller, is "pop up blocker" make sure "turn on pop up blocker" is NOT checked.
Your ccleaner should work just fine in IE. When using the ccleaner, click on analyze and then run cleaner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that the browsers are set correctly: Doing offers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use as many gmail accounts as you can. I have close to 80 I think LOL.
Before doing ANY offer, decide which gmail account u r going to use. Open that gmail, and clean out the inbox and spam folders.
Close out the tab for gmail, and open an offer.
If it is a email or zip submit, always do at least the 2nd page.
If you have to go to the end, always open a couple of those offers on the "congrats or thank you page" and go on to page 2, if thats an option. Now..
Let this all sit open for a minimum of 30 seconds. With brandarama, generous genie and hotgiftzone, I let those sit open a few minutes and go get some things done. Those above named offers also work much better in IE rather than in Fire fox. I don't know why.

Now..start closing windows..make sure you allow ANY windows to pop up and to load completely as they pop up.
Once you have closed out ALL the pop ups etc, and have submitted it to me in pending, then, open your gmail that you used for this offer, and check the inbox and spam box for ANY confirmation emails.
Here is an example of what you would be looking for.
In the from who line it might say: Your Giveaway
and in the subject line it will have something similar to this:
Please Verify your Free Wolfgang Puck Cookware Registration
This is why you clear your emails before doing offers. So you dont have to go through a hundred or more spams etc.
Now..when doing surveys..
ONLY do ONE at a time. I cant stress this enough. If you do more than one,the others are not going to go through. And you have just wasted your time. Once it approves, go ahead and do another one, different category tho. And use a different email addy for it.
So lets say you have done a winning surveys survey. And it has just come in as approved. DO NOT go do another winning survey, do a what she has to say, big bucks, or something else.
When doing the survey, make sure to check yes to a couple of things. It will just pop up the Ads, you don't have to sign up for them etc. Take your TIME when doing these surveys. I have found that about half way through, if I go check my email, or go do something for a couple minutes, and then come back and finish it, it approves alot better. Another site owner had sent out this tip in email. Apparently something about them being timed now. And if they are done too quickly they will not approve. I don't know how true this is, but, I do know some surveys that were not approving for me, did start approving after I did what she said.

Again, with surveys, check your email once you are done and make sure to verify any emails needing to be verified.
I hope this helps..do everything above..go in do a couple offers. And lets see what happens.
ALSO..if you have any offers pending, except for what you did today or yesterday, delete them and you can re do them. BEFORE deleting them, grab a pen and paper, and "view" them, then write down the name of the offer and what email address you used, including ANY period variations you may have used for this offer. This way, when you re do the offer, you will know which email address NOT to use.
Good luck everyone and happy offering!!!
