[Update: This offer no longer exists. It was a great program while it lasted. From time to time, I’ve been known to highlight other giveaways for things like free iPods. Check out the Sweepstakes category for the latest giveaways!]

Yes, I love WOWIO even more now. My free iPod shuffle, which I got for referring 10 people to WOWIO, came today. Want your own completely free iPod shuffle (that’s right, I didn’t pay shipping or anything)? The promotion is still going on. Check out WOWIO, and sign up. At the end of the registration process, when it asks who referred you, put

vanpattenjames@gmail.com

This is my friend’s email address, and will help him get his iPod shuffle. Why should you bother to credit my friend, you ask? Well, because it will give you good referral karma, which will help you get YOUR ten referrals! So once you’ve signed up, convince ten of your friends that WOWIO is a truly awesome service, and have them sign up, crediting your email address.

It’s very, very easy (I managed to convince 10 people in two days), and WOWIO truly is a great service.

Also, if you sign up under the email address above, feel free to send me an email using my contact form. Once my friend has his 10 referrals, replace his email address on this page with the first person who emailed me, and once they get their ten, I’ll put up the next email address, and so forth. This page, as of June 2007, still gets several hits from search engines every day!

(Number of people I’ve referred who have also gotten their own iPod shuffle: 4)

Use Blingo and Win!

Thanks to 1mil, I found this great thing called Blingo, run by Publisher’s Clearing House. It’s basically just the Google search bar, only when you use it, you have a chance to win some pretty excellent prizes, from Fandango tickets up to $20,000 cash. It even has several plugins to integrate it into your browser – I already use the Quick Search box in Firefox, so it was easy to put Blingo in there and use it just like Google.

So let’s look at this: it works exactly like Google, has the ease of Google, but you can win stuff!

Also, if you can convince your friends to join, it gets even better. If one of your friends wins a prize, you win that prize too! Wouldn’t it be cool if we both won the big money? Heck, I’d be happy if we both won Fandango tickets!

Give it a try: Update: Sadly, Publisher’s Clearing House has rebranded Blingo into “PCH Search&Win” and it’s not as cool as it was when I first wrote this post. I ended up winning a Fandango ticket at one point in Blingo’s life… and not much else. There are other ways to make money and win things on the internet, though! Check the sidebar for the “Earn Money Today!” section to get your hands on some cash.
