How to get free Apple Products:
We've all heard the quotes, "Nothing in life is free", and the one which we hear all the time, "If it seems too good to be true, then it probably is". For the most part, these are very true but there is one major exception.
Nowadays marketers are so desperate for new customers that they are prepared to bribe customers just to try out their products. You don't even have to buy their products, just take out a free trial at some very reputable companies like 'Lovefilm' or 'Blockbuster'. The BBC have actually made a report outlining this which demonstrates how to get a free iPod. This process is also recognised by G4, CNN and American News. This process is know as 'Affiliate Marketing'. Here is the definition from Wikipedia:
Affiliate marketing is a marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's marketing efforts. Examples include rewards sites, where users are rewarded with cash or gifts, for the completion of an offer, and the referral of others to the site. The industry has four core players: the merchant (also known as 'retailer' or 'brand'), the network, the publisher (also known as 'the affiliate') and the customer. The market has grown in complexity to warrant a secondary tier of players, including affiliate management agencies, super-affiliates and specialized third parties vendors.
So what are some examples of affiliate marketing today?
Sky TV use affiliate marketing to promote their business. Sky TV currently give you 50 in Marks and Spencer vouchers if you refer a friend to join. Your friend will also get 50 in Marks and Spencer vouchers. This process can continue for every new member you refer to join Sky TV. Now this seems like a really good deal for you, and it is hard to see how Sky could also be making a profit out of this. It is 100 which Sky pay out for every new customer you refer, but they will make this money back in a few months. It is a win-win situation for everyone.
Going back to the 'free Apple products', it's exactly the same principals. You get your free gift in the shape of an iPad for example. Each referral counts for around 17-20 which means that you will need to refer around 25 people in order to receive your free iPad. Which is almost ridiculous if you think about it. If you just get 25 of your friends to sign up, you can get something worth 500.
The process can be boiled down to 3 steps:
Sign up to a freebie site
Complete a free offer
Refer your friends to complete an offer
Lastly wait for your free Apple product to arrive at your doorstep.
