Keeping Track of your Freebie Business

Thu, Nov 6, 2008

I can remember when I first started making money with freebies. Of course, I started with method 1 – which is how most freebie start. I completed close to 60 offers and let me tell you – it was not the most enjoyable part of my life as a Freebie Trader. I had to keep track off offers, telephone numbers, trial periods, email addresses and a bunch of other details.

When I moved on to method 2, there were still a bunch of details to keep track of – Referrals, contact info, sites that they were working on, how much money I sent them etc.

There are a number of ways of keeping track of ALL these details. I know of many people who are just plain “old school”. They keep a notebook and write down every single detail that they can think of, and it works for them.

Being the “computer nerd” that I am, I decided that there had to be a better way. So I decided to make the MOST AMAZING SPREADSHEET in the industry. I’m normally pretty humble about what I do, but I have to say that this spreadsheet ROCKS!

The IFW Tracker

The IFW Tracker is a spreadsheet that I made that keeps track of EVERYTHING you can think of. It keeps track of all of your offers and all your referrals. It even keeps track of how much money you make. If you are a detail-oriented person, it is the way to go. If you aren’t, then you need to become one. Details are important in the Freebie Industry. If you would like to get this spreadsheet, subscribe to my RSS feed and you will get the download link. You can see what it looks like below.

Yes Paula, organization is ESSENTIAL in the freebie industry. There are so many details to keep track of. Having a spreadsheet like this is a great way to deal with those details.

I have a question… Do you have to have Microsoft Word to be able to download this IFW Tracker Spreadsheet?

It was made in microsoft excell, but you can get the free alternative called Open office from http://www.openoffice.org and that does the same thing as Microsoft Office.
