Are FREE iPods REALLY FREE? - An impressed review
So what's the deal with this FREE iPod offer? A new web site, FreeiPods.com, has been offering these 20GB beauties, as well as the smaller mini iPods to anyone who completes a trial offer and gets just 5 friends to do the same.
The concept is simple: Offer a high ticket item for 'free', and have the companies who offer the free trials foot the bill. If you like their service, the small cost (to them) of an iPod is worth far less then a potential customer for life.
Plus, the offers are all from reputable companies, some of whom even PAY YOU! That's right, you read correctly. I completed a free trial offer with InFone.com, which has NO monthly fees (and only costs money if you use the service, which I have no intention of doing since my Nextel plan offers a similar service). THEY SENT ME A $10.00 AMAZON.COM GIFT CERTIFICATE! I just bought Mars Attacks on DVD and sent that cute girl in the pic with me a random Indie Rock CD (surprises make her smile) for an out-of-pocket expense of $0.80, including shipping... now that's what I call a good deal.
I initially read about the FreeiPods.com site on Wired.com or the CNN site. It seems that this site is actually legit, and people are actually GETTING these iPods. I am really happy that some marketing guy somewhere realized if you don't screw people, they might buy your product. Now alls I have to do is get three more friends to sign up and i'll be in MP3 heaven. Audible.com, here I come!
If anyone has actually GOTTEN a free iPod from this offer, drop me a line, I'd like to know how long you had to wait, and if it was in fact brand newlike they say.
