Update: Nothin about overweight people, but different...Just alittle
Have you every been annoyed by those freepsp, freeipod scams
Well I have finally done my research on those annoying advertisements to find out if they work, and they do.
The explination of how they work, well read on
Ok so when I got passed the puking from all the ads I dismissed all the "stories" of people getting their ipods as the marketing machine at work. I figured I might take a chance and give it a go.
The Four Steps
Step 1. Collect Names.
Step 2. Send those names items worth $200 or more
Step 3. ??????
Step 4. Profit
Before I signed up, I wanted to get to the bottom of the ?????. I didn't want any sweaty, filth pushing webmonkeys to have all my info, so I did my research. Gratis Internet, the parent company of the FreeIpods, FreeFlatscreens, etc. sites, recently did an interview with Wired Magazine.
In this article Gratis states that they are acting as Head Hunters for companies (more on that later) and are paid between $50-$90 per referral. Although this seems like a lot of money, this is nothing compared to what these companies spend for print advertising which does not guarentee ANY customers. So now we know what ?????? equals. ??????=$50-$90 for Gratis per guranteed customer (referral sites).
How Does it Work?
You sign-up on one (or more) of the following websites:
Ok,
so here is the tricky part. Once you sign up with one of these
websites you have to complete an "offer" from 1 of Gratis's
advertisors. There are usually 5-10 different offers, some being
better than others. Now, remember the ???????=$50-$90 equation? In
order for you to receive your ipod/Flatscreen/Desktop PC/Handbag you
have to refer 5, 8, or 10 of your friends, and they have to complete
one of the offers as well. Then in order for them to receive theirs
they need to refer others, and son on. So lets just look at why they
are going to send an Ipod to you. (1(you) +5(your
friends))x$90=$540-$250(ipod)=$290 profit for them just for you signing
up. The advertisers are more than willing to pay, and FreeIpods is
more than happy to send you your ipod. Works out for everyone.
What process should you use to sign up (to ensure that you will get your item)
When signing up, it is recommended that you use Internet Explorer
(sucks) some people have reported problems using other browsers.
- 1. Click on one of the links above and enter a VALID US mailing address.
- 2. Complete the marketing survey - not your answers do not have any impact on you receiving your item.
- 3.
Once you have signed up, you should receive a verification email. If
you did not receive one, go to the "My Account" page and click the link
to have them resend it. If you still did not get it check your spam
folder.
- 4. Sign-up with one of their partners and
complete the offer. (see the section which offer should I choose) It
can take up to 15 days for your offer to show completed (unless you
follow my steps!) =)
