How to Complete a Freebies Form

OK, you want to get some free samples or sign up for free services, but you've not used online forms before and are a little unsure about how to fill out the forms. Just follow the steps below and you should have no problems.

Difficulty Level: easy      Time Required: 5 minutes


Here's How:
  1. Move your mouse curser over the first field (box) in the form and click.
  2. Type in the information requested.
  3. Either user your tab key to move to the next field or click your mouse in the next field.
  4. Continue until you have filled out all the required fields.
  5. There will be a button (usually gray and at the end of the form) that says "submit" or something to that effect. Move your mouse cursor over the button and click once.
  6. Do not click a second time. Some forms take a few seconds to a minute or more to process.
  7. You are now finished and can go on to find another free offer and repeat the whole process on another form.
Tips:
  1. Most forms indicate required fields with an asterisk or bold text. You may leave any other fields blank if you wish.
  2. Some fields may use a select arrow to allow you to choose from a list of answers. Click on the arrow at the right and a list will appear. You can then click on your choice.
  3. Some fields may be small circles (radio buttons) or small squares (check boxes). You complete these by clicking in them with our mouse or pressing the space bar.
