Forum member Hughsie recently wrote about www.free-easy-money.com and how it’s helped him raise to “free easy money” to which he’s used to turn some of his business ideas into reality. As he was keen to share his find with other readers of the Business Opportunities and Ideas blog, I asked him to put together a couple of paragraphs, here’s what he had to say (minor edits for clarity, spelling and grammar):
I, like many on your site will constantly come up with a range of differing ideas to make money. Many of them work but just need some small amount of capital to start the ball rolling. If people are like me then this first hurdle is often the most difficult in that it’s a big step to risk say a couple of grand. I would say that this is the reason that people don’t actually start the things that they believe in.
I’ve been using this way of making start-up cash for a couple of months. It won’t make you a fortune but could give people on your site a method of making that bit of cash to get things off the ground.
The concept is simple – its a way of converting free bet offers that on line bookmakers offer into cash with no risk. The only limits are the number of bookmakers but due to the ‘reload’ offers they give there is always a steady stream of money. The details are all on the site – no log on needed.
Its 100% legal and you will quickly see that it not in the same league as ‘get rich quick schemes’ – basically because you wont get rich quickly.
The benefits are massive because a £2K cash injection into a small business has massive potential. Because its money that ‘you didn’t have previously’ then its easier to risk on a business venture you may be thinking about.
Well he’s right it is legal, it is relatively easy – just follow the instructions, it is not really free though, you’ll have to use some of your own cash. However if you follow the instructions and don’t get tempted to place additional bets then the risk to your cash is low – make sure you read the terms and conditions of the free bets, as they may change.
So how does it work? The site guides you through the process of placing bets on both possible outcomes of an event, i.e. X wins game Y and X does not win game Y. Under normal circumstances if you placed such bets you’d be guaranteed to loose money (bookies having set the odds to ensure that), but by using the free bets available to new customers you are able to beat the system such that you come out ahead.
If you don’t understand how the system the site suggests works however I would suggest you stay well away.
What really interests me about the site however is the fact that it is a great demonstration of how to build a good affiliate marketing website. It provides a compelling reason to open an account with most of the major online betting sites, and each time you open an account the owners of the site will receive a commission payment of around £25, if you open an account with all 73 betting firms they list that could make them around £1,825 per user.
They’ve also clearly thought it through and recognised the value of owning the customers themselves, so instead of giving everything away they require you to register to use the calculator and offer an added value mailing list to which you can subscribe. The result is they now have your permission to market to you via email.
There are still lots of good business opportunities out in affiliate marketing and this site proves it.

This blog is about business opportunities and ideas that I spot, think of or hear about and think are useful and interesting. It is intended to provide ideas and inspriation for you to help you find the right business idea for you to then grow it into a successful business.



EDITORS NOTE: Adrian Pitt, the author of the comment below appears to be the owner of the site free-easy-money.com – I suggest you ask yourself why he pretends to be a happy user and denies there is any risk.
After going over the concept 3 or 4 times it clicked into place. It’s a great way of getting some cash and there is NO risk. Yes I have had to use my own money (the amount of which the calculator tells you to the penny) BUT you always win the amount of money the calculator tells you that you will win!
Very impressed and well thought out..
Having been doing the matched bet principle for some time now I can say the only risk is user error. The principle is mathematical. If bookies are bent and refuse to pay out then that counts as a risk too I suppose. Since there is no cost to use the calculator on the site I can’t think why the owner would pretend to be a user other than poor marketing technique
I tried this it is not that easy and time consuming , The real problem liesnwith the second bet for each bonus ,often hard to find.
