Branching off what I discussed last week regarding the website ShopFreePay.com, there is also a website for those seeking iPods. Let me introduce iPodSweepstakes.com.

iPodSweepstakes.com is a bit easier to operate than ShopFreePay. The premise of the website is the same as SFP, you do a number of offers and receive the gift. IPS uses a points system to calculate how many offers you’ve done. Each offer is worth so many points. For example, one may be with 5 and require no effort, or one may be 250 with a little more effort.

IPS also has another efficient way of gaining chances to win an iPod Shuffle. These units usually retail for around $100, so to get one absolutely free is a great deal in and of itself.

If winning from a random drawing each day isn’t your thing, you can work towards gaining the Shuffle as well. It is 1,000 points. You can take a step up to the iPod Nano for 2,000. The iPod Video is only 3,000.

iPodSweepstakes and the websites like it that I’ve been discussing are easy ways to score great deals on brand new electronics. There are also websites similar to it that can offer you other great free things like movie tickets. Check out SimpleFlix.com. You can score quick and easy VIP passes to movie releases at Regal Cinema in Lexington.

What do you think? Have you tried one of these websites before? Let me know. Visit JaradFugate.com or e-mail me at jaradman@gmail.com and tell me what you think.
