Free iPods

Posted on by

Someone sent me a link to this site offering free ipods. What’s the catch, you ask? Simply complete one of their “offers”, which include things like requesting an AOL CD in the mail or opening a trial membership on some websites (like Ancestry.com). Then send the link to five of your friends. Once your five friends have completed their offers, they will ship you the iPod of your choice. Interesting deal. Sounds like a scam at first, but this same place has been around for a while, giving away various other products to get you to sign up with an advertiser.

With the pay for placement market what it is, it doesn’t surprise me to see an advertiser pay top dollar to this company in order to get a sign-up. Let’s do the math:

If an advertiser pays $50 for a sign-up, and in order to get a free iPod, you and 5 friends must sign-up, that’s $300. What’s a mini-iPod go for these days? About $250. That’s a net profit of $50 per person that they make, and I get a free iPod out of it. Interesting business model. Now let’s see if I can get the last two completions I need to get my silver mini-iPod.

Update:
I’m happy to say that I’ve completed my five offers (but click on the links above to help my wonderful wife Dena get hers. Other people are reporting receiving their iPods and are quite happy with the results.

Update #2:
I found a little package on my front porch after work today.

This packing slip sure looks interesting….

  7. Hi, I’m now offering gmail invites to the first four people who sign up on our conga and complete an offer for the member on the top of the list. So far even though we have 10+ members in the yahoo group, we only have three people on the conga list, so new sign-ups will still be near the top!!

  12. hey i just signed up, and i dont think the conga lines are very efficient.
    so i’m just gonna “pay” for my free ipod!
    So even if u dont get the referals u need, u’ll still be 10 dollars richer! 🙂
    $10 will be paypaled to the first 5 email acounts refered under me once i see it under my referal list.
    I will send the money once i see that u have completed one of the offers.
    THANKS!

    I looked at these sites, and the deal seems legit. But I have also seen some pretty elaborate Internet hoaxes.

    What’s the REAL DEAL re. a free ipod?
