Free Geek Stuff

If you haven't seen this before, check it out, get a Free PSP or Free XBox 360, not joke it's legit. I just got my Free IPod Nano today.

It's really easy

There are 3 basic steps:
1. Sign up
2. Complete an offer
3. Refer your friends to do the same

1. Sign up. Use a junk (but valid) email account you dont mind getting spam in, because you will! You should be use to this by now. While signing up it may ask you optional survey questions with different offers. These are all optional and don’t contribute to your free gift.

2. Complete an offer. Some offers are better than others. The one I recommend is Blockbuster Online. It costs $9.99 for a month trial and you’ll get credit in about a week. Not only is it cheap and from a reliable company, but the service is great! Other offers I have done are the RealRhapsody offer. It costs 99 cents for a month trial and credit is instant. When you click on an offer, make sure your popup blocker is OFF and you have cookies ENABLED. You may not get credit if they arent! When you click an offer a popup will open telling you what you need to do to get credit and the timeframe credit will be awarded.

3. Refer your friends. Email signatures, in your blog, your AIM profile… anywhere it is welcome… post your referral link! Refer them to this page or other success stories around the net to show them it’s legit.

Depending on which site you complete, you will need a varying number of referrals based on the value of the product. I put the number of referrals for each item in paranthesis next to the link. Keep in mind it will be much easier to get 3 friends to sign up and get a free iPod shuffle then getting 10 friends to do the same for a laptop computer.

Following is a list of FreePay sites, with the number of referrals needed for each (in parenthesis).
