Free iPod Nano: http://ipodnanos.freepay.com/?r=24327071 Free $300.00 Gift Certificate: http://giftcards.freepay.com/?r=26025899 A popular and successful way to have your bog play is by using affiliate programs like Commission Junction, Link Share and the like. There are also ad programs like the following:

AdSense

Chitika

However, there are things other than money. There are iPod Nanos. There are also $300.00 gift cards, both of which can be had for free. Yes, I did say free. It works on the referral principle, just like the other affiliate links. Both the Free iPod Nano and the Free $300.00 Gift Card work like a combination of an affiliate program combined with a referral service. The way it works is simple:

• You sign up for the program under someone else's referral link and complete an offer
• You then receive a referral link of your own.
• You then get 5 other people to sign up and complete an offer.
• Select the iPod or Gift Card you want.
• Enjoy the benefits of your blog.

Of course the trick is to get 5 other people to sign up under your link. That is where you blog comes in. Post your referral link in your blog so that people who read and enjoy your blog can also benefit as well. Of course, you should also encourage friends and family to sign up under your referral link. I have found that buying people lunch helps them to feel more confident in the program. Remember: there is more to like than just more. Your blog can also be converted for goods and services. And cool stuff like Free iPods and Free $300.00 Gift Cards BTW: The $300.00 Gift Cards are not just for places you would never visit. There are lots of places to choose from. The list includes to following, but is lots longer: Barnes & Noble Borders Books and Music® CDUniverse.com iTunes A Pea in the Pod American Eagle Outfitters Anchor Blue ArmaniExchange Banana Republic Buckle DOTS Eddie Bauer® Express Gap J.Crew L.L.Bean Lands' End® The Limited Men's Wearhouse Millers Outpost Mimi Maternity Motherhood Maternity New York & Company Old Navy Silhouettes Talbots The Adolphus American Airlines® Avis BedandBreakfast.com Best Western International Budget Rent A Car Carnival Cruise Lines Courtyard® by Marriott The Edgewater Fairfield Inn® by Marriott The Grove Isle Hotel & Spa Hotel Viking Hyatt Hotels and Resorts Inn and Spa at Loretto LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort Little Palm Island Resort and Spa Marriott Vacation Club Marriott® Hotels & Resorts Noble House Hotels & Resorts Ocean Key Resort & Spa Paradise Point Resort & Spa The Portofino Hotel & Yacht Club Renaissance® Hotels & Resorts Residence Inn® by Marriott The Ritz-Carlton® SpringHill Suites® by Marriott TownePlace Suites® by Marriott
