Pretend you're at Duke - Get your own FREE IPOD
Alright, so you may not be a freshman at Duke receiving a free iPod music player just for showing up to orientation, but that doesn't mean you have to go without. Click here to visit a site that's offering free iPods as a promotional tool.
Here's how it works:
(1) When you follow the link above, you'll be asked to register with the site. No credit card or other financial info is requested - just what they'd need to ship your iPod.
(2) Once you register, you sign up for one of a dozen or so offers from the companies sponsoring this site. In my case, I decided to take BMG Music up on their 12-for-one CD offer, and am very satisfied.
(3) The final step is for five of your friends to take a shot at their own free iPod. That's what clicking on the link above will do for me: if you sign up, you'll become one of my five.
The company is legit, and has been featured on CNN and in Wired Magazine. Many of the offers are free trials, and you only need to give it a try to collect your iPod - you don't need to stick with the offer past the trial. The companies are wagering that enough people will stick with it to make their investment at least as worthwhile as an expensive television ad.
For me, here's how the cost/benefit analysis breaks down: I'll spend in the ballpark of $56, once BMG's shipping and handling is factored in, and receive 12 CDs that I want along with a $250 iPod, with no further commitment. Read the article, and see for yourself... and when you are ready to get your own new toy, please do so by taking my referral! ;)
