HOW THIS SYSTEM WORKS

Thank you RJ for granting permission to finally start one these lines.

Background on the free ipod referral deal:

You might have heard about these sites. The most popular gift, an Ipod, is offered by a site in exchange for a member signing up, completing an offer, and finding 5 other people to do the same. The offer involves a deal such as signing up to a free trial of Blockbuster's DVD by mail service. The offer is cancelable so it costs nothing to join. This concept is not a scam or a pyramid scheme, just the latest in internet viral marketing.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=64156

Credible news sources document the validity of such sites:

Wired Magazine

http://www.wired.com/news/mac/0,2125,64614,00.html

New York Times covered it in the Christmas Day paper.

Numerous fan sites and message boards testify to the success of these sites. I myself have recently completed one of these sites and the gift of $275 is in my account now.

Message boards have often come together to form a conga line around one of these sites.

HOW THE CONGA WORKS

The initiator lists himself and members also interested in the Ipod follow by signing up through the initiator's referral link. Once that person in line has satisfied the site requirements the direction of new inductees work on the second person in line.

I am starting a similar conga line here but I want to modify it to benefit more ppl.

- 5 offer completions are required for a free Ipod, however, in this conga line each member is allowed a maximum of 4. This is to encourage members to seek help off the board. (I completed another site by simply offering $5 to each person who signed up under me; worked like a charm)
- The forum currency system is an advantage none of the other forums have. When inductees start slowing then those at the top of the line can start offering $NP as encouragement to keep the line moving.

RULES AND NOTES REGARDING CONGA - IMPORTANT ADVICE AND INFORMATION

Only US users eligible.

When you have signed up under whoever is up at the moment update us on your status by making a post. I will make note of the change on this original post which will serve as the scoreboard. (Signing up means COMPLETING AN OFFER)

Completing an offer is very simple. After signing up for the site you will land in the complete offer page. Select any number of options. Two of the offers are completely free trials (Blockbuster and efax) Blockbuster is cancelable through the online consol and efax can be deactivated by support chat. UPDATE: IT APPEARS BLOCKBUSTER IS NOW $10 AND EFAX IS GONE

I am uncertain about the time it takes for credit for a completed offer to be confirmed. freeipods.com instructs members to complete the entire 2 week Blockbuster trial in order to recieve credit. Info from www.anything4free.com indicates credit is erratic as instant to 15 days. From my current experience it seems Blockbuster will take over a week. Efax took 1 day to credit and offers such as nexiderm and videoprofessor are instant.

Use this forum to find out which offers are easy and hassle free:

Note about advertising:

RJ requests that no duplicate threads be started or the referral link for this one be added to signatures to prevent the blanketing of codes on NP.

It is recommended that sign up incentives only be small rewards. Consider using $NP

dam im from AUS i can't participate

lotsofissues · 01-10-2005, 02:17 PM

smh's Blockbuster signup has been confirmed.

Sorry excel - I really wonder why such sites haven't been marketed for AUS or UK ppl considering the popularity not only with users but startup companies.

jeter4982 · 01-10-2005, 03:20 PM

Just a suggestion, put like a (x/4) next to each name, replacing the x with the number of referrals they have. That way we know when the next person in line will be up.

dgridley · 01-10-2005, 03:24 PM

Already watched my free DVD's (e-coupons) and returned the DVD's they shipped.. but my freeipods status is still unconfirmed

DG... i am just using blockbuster for fun... its a great deal even if you dont get the credit... I am still enjoying them :-)

We need more sign ups everyone :-)

Make that 2/4... I got a PM from someone telling me she/he signed up under my link...i told him/her to post here...this was this morning...

I did receive it though so its at 2/4 :-)

Thanks,
Andrew

RJ · 01-10-2005, 09:47 PM

I received my Video Professor "Learn PhotoShop" course today. It cost me $3.69 in S&H when I signed up through the Free IPod program. It's a three CD course: Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert. The terms of the offer say I have a 10 days trial period with the course, and to cancel I have to call them within the 10 days and return any one of the three lesson disks. The other two are free to keep.

It's a quality product, and I would recommend it. They also offer a Video Professor course on HTML that might be of interest to those of you considering joining the iPod conga line.

Cheers!

dgridley · 01-10-2005, 09:50 PM

Great!

BTW- I'm not complaining about the Blockbuster deal.. they were quick in shipping, etc. Just haven't received credit at freeipods yet tho I know it takes time..

Great news guys...

Just checked out freeipods.com and the remaining 3 people signed up under my name.
I dont know how i managed to get them... but hey im not complaining.

The status is 1 confirmed and 4 pending... hopefully they will all go though :-)

Thanks to everyone for all your help... Good Luck to those who follow... i have no doubt everyone in the line, Pluse more will all be fulfilled with their sign-ups

Thanks Again,
AS

lotsofissues · 01-11-2005, 10:51 PM

Andrew,

A signup under yellow status only confirms a signup, not an offer. If no post was made announcing the completion of the offer, then we should assume it is no more than a simple sign up.

ashaw · 01-11-2005, 10:58 PM

I see..
So untill i get 4 green confirmed signups i should stay in?

lotsofissues · 01-12-2005, 12:47 AM

Andrew,

You should stay until 4 ppl post here to confirm they have signed up and COMPLETED the offer.

lotsofissues · 01-12-2005, 12:50 AM

Guys,

It appears advertisers can't be stupid forever - Blockbuster changes to $10 trial and efax is gone.

ashaw · 01-12-2005, 04:00 AM

Lots... Its not as good as being free... but i know for sure that i would pay more then $10.00 for this... even though the price went up, and free would be far much better... its still not a bad deal anyway you go...

wouldnt you agree?

lotsofissues · 01-12-2005, 04:43 AM

I agree domainsell - I would prefer videoprofessor now (if RJ reports no billing problems)

I needed ink, I bought from there, and I'm already confirmed!!!

"Your Status:
Congratulations!

You have completed your requirements. Now just get 5 friends to complete an offer."

You should see me under DomainSell now.

If you could add me to the line for later, I'd greatly appreciate it :-)

Alan,

Sorry I didn't get to your PM in time.

Domainsell,

The count standings do not go by the green (confirmed) count provided by freeipods.com We count confirmed offer completions by the post or pm declaration a member makes. Days or even a week later freeipods.com will change the status to green.
I recall someone making the declaration by post in the previous thread, and a declaration you reported by PM in this thread. Add Alan's confirmation to give you 3/4 currently?
