free ipods - for real

So I hopped on the bandwagon, figuring I would give it a shot. All this advertising about free iPods, free MacMini's, and such is overwhelming if you surf the Internet for any length of time - and to be honest I was always very skeptical about the whole thing. It turns out someone I actually know in real life went through this system to get a free Apple iBook (est. $1200 value), and did receive it about 6 weeks after he signed up. You obviously have to do a couple of things in return, but the truth is, you actually can get the goods free (or nearly so if you sign up for pay services).

For example, a free iPod only requires you to complete one marketing offer (one month of Blockbuster Online, free month of Audible.com, credit card offers, or one of the ubiquitous CD clubs), and then get 5 other people to sign up for the free iPod as well. Its not a pyramid scheme, since the goal is not to get other people to pay money, but yes they must sign up at the site and complete an offer as well. It's really not all that bad, since for example, if I had not already been a paying member of Blockbuster Online, I would have signed up for that one. Also, there are usually a couple of free offers, such as a one month free trial of some online service.

That being said - I've added a referrer link to the blog. So if you want to help me get a free iPod, and start the process of getting one yourself, check it out.

Testimonial:

I received a free iPod Mini through offergift.com. It took about 5 months from start until I received my iPod, but I did get it and am currently enjoying it!

Yeah, I am figuring it might take a while since I am not entirely sure how it will take to get all the referrals.
