Biz-Opp Description
Free Lunch Room is a membership website run by internet marketer Leo Shimizu, where people can get paid for completing trial offers for various companies. The program fosters beneficial relationships between people, allowing them to help each other earn money by working with companies that offer rewards as a way to advertise their products or services.
Detailed Overview
There are two main ways to profit as a member of Free Lunch Room. You can complete offers and be paid by other members, or you could be the one paying other members to become your referrals and complete offers. Both methods have their benefits.
The easiest and fastest way to make money through Free Lunch Room is by signing up as a referral for one of the members and completing enough offers to “go green” for them. “Going green” means that you’ve completed enough offers to earn the person who referred you a credit, and credits can be valuable. When you complete enough offers for one person to get a credit, they usually pay you anywhere from $15 to $40, often right away. It’s not unusual to enter into an agreement with a referrer, complete enough offers to go green for them and receive compensation in the very same day.
Free Lunch Room referrers make money by paying people to earn them credits, and then receiving cash amounts from companies that exceed what they’ve paid out, or products whose value exceeds what they’ve paid out.
Many of the offers that you complete as a member of Free Lunch Room in order to go green are free trials, and some cost money. You want to make very sure of two things. First, make sure that you’re not paying out more to complete offers than you’ll receive from the referrer. Second, make sure you note when you’ve signed up for a trial offer so you can cancel (if you want to) before the company offering the trial starts charging you.
Reputation
The administrators of Free Lunch Room have worked hard to make this site one that members can count on. Problems can and will happen when it comes to working with companies that offer free trials, but a member forum has been set up so that people can discuss any issues or give helpful advice. The website lays down strict rules to make sure that everyone is treated fairly, and the result is that it has a very loyal membership.
Domain "Whois"
The Whois information for a website lists the owner and their contact information. The owner of "Free Lunch Room" has purposely made their Whois information private. While not always a bad thing, this could mean they have something to hide.

Works, but be careful
I used them for a little while, and all in all it's not bad. You start off by basically working for others, you do an offer for them and they give you money for it. They do this to get a special offer from some company such as a new ipod or whatever. The only problems that I had, and this is why I quit doing it are that you have to sign up for free trial offers, and keep track of everything so you can stop the subscription before you are charged for it. That can be a bit of a hassle. The big problem is, sometimes you don't get credited for it, in which case the person you are working for won't pay you and you are out the money for the trial because some of them do charge for the trial period.

A great IFW Trader Forum
I joined this forum through Project Payday, and I wish I had found this forum first. It is, and always has been, easy to navigate, and you could see at a glance, which traders were great to deal with, and which you would want to steer clear of.
They have always kept comprehensive details about the industries IFW sites; which have just came on the scene, which are paying regularly, and also details about the offers themselves. This gives people a guide as to which sites and offers are the most viable.
This forum also houses the Project Payday Mentor Program, which I love. People new to the concept can become confused with the process quite easily. Unfortunately, without guidance, this can mean a person can make it impossible for themselves to earn before getting a single penny, or even costing them money they didn't have.
The mentor program pairs newbies with an experienced trader right from this forum, to guide them in their first steps in the trading process, retaining more people in the forum and program.
I have also seen recently where they have added interest groups. I will be keeping an eye on that.
If you are into IFWs, this is definitely the forum to be a member of!

Great vibe
I tried Free Lunch Room over a year ago and was very impressed with their forums. Their sense of community and the willingness of the members to help each other was incredible. As a newbie at the time, I found that really reassuring. Questions were always encouraged and replied to patiently.
I printed out and devoured all the information I was told I needed to know. Some of it took a bit of getting my head around, but it didn't put me off.
From what I recall at the time, the one thing that stopped me pushing forward with the site was that a lot of the offers for completion were targeted towards to US residents. I'm in the UK. I was quite disappointed about that and I remember looking around on the net for anything similar in the UK, but couldn't find anything.
It's been years since I passed by Free Lunch Room so perhaps there are now more offers for non-US residents. I'd be keen to find out as, even though it was a while ago, I still remember their warm and supportive community vibe.

Great Way To Earn Online!
Free Lunchroom is one of the simplest, easiest, and best business opportunities there is out there now. With Free Lunchroom you can start slow then work your way to the top all the while profiting big. You will not only profit for yourself, but you will be helping others to profit as well. It's like a win-win situation. I have been a member of Free Lunchroom for a year and 3 months and I LOVE it!
I started out as someone's referral which means I was being paid to complete offers to help someone else get closer to their payout. Now, I am the one doing the paying. It's a great site and it is very newbie friendly. If you are willing to be taught and are in need of some quick cash, then this is the place to start.

Free Lunch Room is a unique idea that surprisingly works out well!
At first I was skeptical whether the idea of how the site works would work out right. I said why not try it out, and I went on ahead and signed up. Before reading on, know that in order to use this website you must have a credit card and paypal as you need both in order to get paid and do trial offers.
Basically, the site works like this. You start off small and use the forums to be a referral for someone else. Each user has a cool little account which tells you if they are legit or not to trade with. In exchange for being their referral, they either pay you when you complete sufficient offers or they become a referral of yours which is a bit more advanced. There are a good selection of offers to complete for your referral or vice-versa and payment is quick. Lots of forum members too. Good for people looking for something a bit unique and advanced.

One Of The Better Biz-Opps Nowadays!
I'm just a new member at the site and I must say I'm pretty impressed with how the forum is run by the administrators. There are LOTS (and I DO mean LOTS) of opportunities for making-money posted there by fellow Free Lunch Room members, most of whom are very helpful to newbies at the site like I am. I say "one of the better" because it is actually a community where everyone benefits from everyone else and not just a one-way agreement (as is the case with most programs out there). I LOVE the freebies sections. When I first came in there I could not believe how much free stuff is up for grabs. Being a freebie maniac, of course I was happy!
I've already tried several of the offers at the site under the "Paying For Referrals" thread and have already been paid by most of them, and I am planning to trade for referrals when I do get the chance to settle down. Over all, I admire the site creators for coming up with such a fantastic idea of sharing through the concept of referrals. Everyone benefits, I tell you. And no, you don't get rich quick. But that's part of the authenticity of the site. It doesn't promise you that you'll get rich immediately, but you build your earnings through time. And that's exactly how I like it.
