Want a free iPod? I do! At the advice of my friend Phil, I joined up at freeipods.com. The deal is pretty simple - you take advantage of an offer by a reputable, established company (many of which cost under $5) and get 5 people to do the same. The company doing the giveaway (Gratis Internet) makes its money off of referral fees from the companies making the offers.

This is a legitimate site - it has been featured on CNN, MSNBC, the BBC, and elsewhere. They have not sold my information to anyone*. I did the BMG Music deal and got some great CDs - no price markup or anything, just the normal BMG deal. My total cost for 12 CDs and the opportunity to get a free iPod: about $40.

If you catch it at the right time, you can even complete an offer for free. Check it out!

* I used a special e-mail address and have not received any spam, that way. I also monitor my credit at least monthly, and nothing weird has happened there. Note that you don’t have to provide your real name and shipping address until it’s time to ship.
