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….

  18. Hey, theres a brand new conga for the Free Flat Screen offer! Nobody has joined yet, so if you sign up in the next few days you’ll probably get a bunch of FREE referrals, especially since the person who started the conga is almost finished! Check it out ASAP at http://www.ffsconga.info

  25. I will pay the first 5 people whom sign up and complete an offer for me $10. I will PayPal or send you a MO. No strings or tricks.

  38. Here are some newer, completely different conga lines to check out if anyone is interested. They have between 1-5 people in line for each, and a unique feature of these 4 conga lines is that you may sign up for using a referral from one line, but request to be placed in a different conga line if you already have an established account that you’d prefer to put in line. For example, sign up for the new freehandbags site using a referral from the conga site, but have your older freeipods account added to the freeipods conga line.
    Everything is explained at the sites below:

    http://freehandbags.home.comcast.net
    http://free_desktoppc.home.comcast.net
    http://der_kommissar.home.comcast.net (the FreeFlatscreens conga)

  41. Everybody seems to be giving you their referral link, I’m not going to do that!
    Instead I’m giving you a link to a site that would help you make up your mind if you want to join or not.
    http://www.freeipodsconga.com is the Site with all the FREE iPod Gimmick info
    After you’ve checked out what this offer is all about, THEN make up your mind if you want to join or not, the site is also running a CONGA Line to help you get referrals.
    Much Luck!
