Every day new websites pop up offering free electrical goods and the internet is littered with people claiming to have received free games consoles, iPhones, iPods and even laptops and Plasma HDTVs.
As hard as that may be to believe, the majority of those claims are true. This article attempts to put the record straight and explain how!
The following sites promote free items that are available to both UK and US residents.
Simplyfreeiphone - Predominantly dedicated to the iPhone but also featuring Apple's new iPod Touch and Classic ranges.
Gadgets4nowt - Every other consumer gadget that you can imagine – grab a free PS3, Wii, Xbox 360 Elite, Plasma TV and much more.
The phenomenon of referral marketing allows consumers to receive highly sought after free goods through what are essentially advertising websites (known as a referrals website).
It's probably best to illustrate this with an example. Let's say you decide to sign up to get a free iPod Shuffle:
The first thing you will be asked to do is take out an advertiser's offer. If you are based in the UK, recommended offers include a free, no obligation DVD rental by post trial with LOVEFiLM or maybe a free ringtone download; most US sites carry similar offers with Blockbuster and various other well known and respected sponsors.
Step two is to refer others to repeat the process (hence the term “referrals website”). An iPod Shuffle would typically require just two referrals and we all have a couple of friends who could be persuaded to take up their own DVD rental trials.
Job done, just wait for the postman with your free iPod Shuffle!
This all seems very quick and easy but who are the winners? Why does it work?

Three potential customers who have actually tried their service and may well like to keep it. |
Referral rates vary depending on the item you are after but you get the idea – everybody wins!
What better testimonial could you want than real items received by real people - I Got My Free Item ; the system has proven so successful that it was also featured in a video podcast by the BBC's Newsnight program – take a look here
If you are willing to take up a free DVD trial or maybe a download a free ringtone, then, yes, you will be receiving free gaming consoles, iPods and even laptops or HDTVs in virtually no time at all!
