Get a Free Apple Ipod Touch

Is it possible to use some simple resources on the web to get an Apple iPod Touch totally free? When I first heard about this, I couldn't believe it was true, but after some investigating it became very clear that the opportunity does exist. How do I know it works?

Check this out - its the packing slip for my free 32GB iPod Touch from Transcendent Innovations (who? see in 'Overview' below), shipped directly from
Amazon (which they normally sell for $475!):



Overview

There is a company called Transcendent Innovations (known as 'Trainn') which is basically a marketing company. They represent advertisers such as Blockbuster, Netflix, Stamps.com, Scholastic Books, etc. Those companies pay Trainn to get consumers (you and I) to try their services. They figure the direct cost of trying to market something to and decide why not pay that to someone who can guarantee them a whole bunch of new eyeballs.


So how does it work? Very simple. Just follow these basic instructions step-by-step and your brand new iPod Touch will be on its way to you in no time. It may be helpful to print out these instructions before getting started.
Getting Started

First, follow this link:

http://www.YourIpodTouch4free.com/index.php?ref=4973178


That will take you to the sign-up page. Just follow the simple instructions to sign up - I suggest you set your account as a 'Referral' account, rather than a 'Points' account. That way, you'll only need to complete one free trial offer, and will get a few of your friends to do the same (but more on that later).

Once, you're signed up, Trainn will send you an email confirming your account. Now you're all set to get that offer completed and out of the way.Completing an Offer

When you first log in to the site, you'll see a tab labeled 'Progress' - this shows how far along you are to getting your free iPod Touch. Click on the tab labeled 'Offers' Look through and find an offer that interests you.

My suggestion is to do Stamps.com. Its totally free, well, even better than free, since you get $5 in free postage. You sign up for a free 4 week trial. Trainn's only requirements are that you:

(1) Don't cancel your Stamps.com account for at least 21 days (not a problem, since you have a 4 week free trial, just cancel somewhere between days 22 and 28);

(2) Download their postage software upon sign up when prompted; and

(3) Print out the free postage that Stamps.com gives you.

Why do they require this? Well, Stamps.com only wants to pay Trainn for consumers that actually have an interest in trying their products and services - not those that are only in it to get something for free. But that's it - its very simple, and again, free.

Not interested in the Stamps.com trial? There are plenty of other great trial offers from companies like Blockbuster, Netflix, and others.

If you’ve completed your offer requirement but you haven’t received credit, did you know that you can request a manual adjustment for your account? That’s right. If after 7 days your account progress isn’t reflecting your completed offer, just click on the ‘My Account’ tab, then click on ‘Missing Credit Requests’. You’ll need the email confirmation you received when you signed up for the trial offer and will have to copy the entire email, include the full header.

Once you've completed the offer, the 'Progress' tab on your Trainn account should show that you've now completed your offer requirement. Now you're ready for referrals.







Referrals

Here's the last step - getting referrals. The number of referrals depends on what you want to receive from Trainn:



  • 8GB iPod Touch requires 5 referrals;


  • 16GB iPod Touch requires 8 referrals; and

  • 32GB iPod Touch requires 10 referrals.

So, depending on which iPod you want, just get that many people to do what you did - sign up for a new account using your own unique referral link (found on the 'Progress' tab). As soon as they sign up for an account at YourIpodTouch4free and complete their one offer requirement your account will be updated to show credit for that referral.

Once you're all done, here's what your 'Progress' tab will look like (more proof from my free 32GB iPod touch!):



Sounds easy, and it is. Again, this is just a way for big corporations to target some of their marketing dollars direct to consumers. Take advantage of it and let them buy you a new iPod Touch! All you have to do is click on this link to get started:
