:: Online Freebie Tips ::

2008-12-23T00:44:00.000-05:00

ONLINE FREEBIE TIPS

* Have a seperate email account just for freebies. This will keep you from getting any spam in your normal email account.

* Do not use your real phone number, unless you need to verify in order to receive the free item you requested.

* Be very careful when looking for free stuff on other so called "free sites". There's are many scam sites that offer what appear to be freebies but most will require participation which usually includes purchasing something or ask for shipping costs. Neither of those constitutes free.

* Most offers do state comments like this: "Your free sample is on it's way, will arrive in approximately 8 - 12 weeks" so please be patient because most free samples take a while to come.

Song Bird...This Ain't Your Mother's iTunes

2008-12-04T08:44:00.009-05:00

Song Bird is a new brand of digital music player...not only is it free (like iTunes) but unlike the other guy, it's an OPEN SOURCE media player. For the geekoids out there, like the little bird that tipped me off to this new find, you don't need to be told that open source means you can let your creative juices flow and customize the shizzy out of this new player enabling it to go and do what no other digital music player has gone or done before. Exciting. For the non-computer geeks out there this simply means that iTunes finally has some real potential competition and competition in business is good...especially for the music-consuming populous (ie. muah)...I heart you already Songbird and we've only just met!

Four Free Salon Hair & Beauty Services

2008-10-01T01:53:00.006-04:00

Do you want a salon quality cut or spa pedicure without the salon quality price tag? Here are four great ways to get your hands on free or nearly free hair and beauty services.

Bumble and Bumble Model Project - Signing up for B&B's Model Project is as easy as filling out a two minute online form, however, you do need to go through a selection process and live in the NYC area to be able to receive these free cuts, coloring or styles. If you are in the Big Apple, this is a great way to save big. All services are 100% free (sometimes include free hair products) and are all provided by professionals (with at least two years of salon experience) who are apart of this advanced training program at B&B.
Regency Beauty Institute - This professional beauty school (currently in 14 states) seeks public clientele for their "superstars in training" (aka. students) to practice every service from color to cuts and nail care to skin care. You can book a salon haircut for $9+ or a mini spa package (including specialty facial, shampoo, style and makeup application) for $35+
Craigslist - If neither of the schools above are in your area, a quick search in good 'ol craigslist should do the trick. I've often found great deals under the "Services > Beauty" or "For Sale > Free" sections where local beauticians seek new clientele for a fraction of the price if not free.
Beauty School Directory - Find a beauty school in your area and ask about being a volunteer client....their students have to practice updos and manicures on someone, why not you?

Free Dance Lessons!

2008-09-30T01:13:00.004-04:00

No matter where you live the internet makes this world a much smaller and more accessible place. Video sharing sites like YouTube blast this reality loud and clear with hundreds of millions of videos viewed daily from all over the globe. You can now vicariously travel overseas, test out your new standup routine, share favorite news clips and even...take online dance classes! Whether you simply live for those dancin'-in-your-underwear-at-home moments or aspire to be a professional dancer, YouTube can give you instant access to top quality dance instruction sure to impress everyone from your teddy to club goers and professionals alike. One instructor from Ontario, Corey Vidal, has blown up big time with the help of YouTube providing FREE dance videos online as well as clips of his own creative choreography. His weekly instructional videos are recorded in his basement with a CD player and professional video camera and cover great pop and hip hop favorites such as Madonna, JT, Ciara and OneRepublic as requested by fans. All step-by-step instructions are detailed enough for beginners and include useful warm-up tips and tricks for dancers of all levels. The best perks of online classes are of course the flexibility to learn new moves on your own time but also to try more advanced stuff from the comfort of your home before jumpin' into a club to show off what you're made of.

You can find all of Corey's instructional videos and choreographed dance videos at: www.youtube.com/coreyvidal

With millions of instructional videos out there, please feel free to add a comment and recommend any other free online dance classes below...then go and get yer groove thang on.

Top 6 Free Stock Photo Sites

2008-09-29T03:35:00.009-04:00

Whether your an online blogger or just want to add something more colorful to your websites or online presentations, professional photos can be expensive and free quality stock photos near impossible to find. Most stock photo sites require a hefty monthly fee or try to entice you to join with only a handful of free photos. Here are several truly free alternatives with a great selection to choose from.

Public Domain Photos is a collection of 5,000 public domain photos and 8,000 free clipart images available for person and commercial use.

{EDITORS PICK}

DreamsTime has the option to buy photos individually for as little as $0.20 each, subscribe for as little as a month to gain unlimited access or you can choose from their wide selection of free photos! Professional photographers list their stock photos for sale through this site and they often donate a couple photos to attract potential customers to their selection. DT's search option makes it easy to find the photos you need and with thousands of new images added weekly, this site is a keeper.

{HONORABLE MENTION}

SXC is this our personal fav with over 350,000 images of instantly downloadable freebies to browse through. See guidelines for usage options here.

FreeRangeStock is yet another site of totally free stock photography.

And with StockVault you don't even need to create an account to be able to download their images.

Flickr is both a fantastic photo and video sharing community that is also open to anyone. According to their guidelines all photos and video must be submitted by the creator and anything used on outside websites must link back to their original page on Flickr after receiving permission from the photographer or videographer. The selection is great, the community concept phenomenal, the upload and download process easy enough and the price...just right.

Free Textbooks...Hallelujah!

2008-09-28T10:20:00.013-04:00

Free books!?! It's no joke at TextbookRevolution.com and what an educational revolution it is! Teacher and authors of textbooks can submit their texts to this site and students are encouraged to find texts already listed and suggest them to their instructors for use in the classroom. Other similarly revolutionary sites include FreeLoadPress.com and TextbookRevolt.com. TextbookRevolt is actually an exchange site where you donate a used textbook in order to request a book posted by someone else, a book barter if you will. See if any of your required reading can be found online and save big this semester!

Free New Music (part II)

2008-09-27T01:02:00.005-04:00

It seems that free music may be a new trend in marketing for companies from social networking sites like Myspace, incorporating playlist sharing and local concert info in their newly revamped Myspace Music, to free single Tuesdays by iTunes. But I could see the power of free music marketing has reached a new level when I stumbled across downloadable freebies at shabby chic clothing chain, UrbanOutfitters.com. UO is currently offering it's online visitors free downloads of 21 random but great indie tunes to inspire you while you shop in a playlist dubbed "LSTN#2". Can we expect more free tunes to come? That would be music to my ears: www.UrbanOutfitters.com
