The story so far…. I want a free Macbook Pro.
By free I mean I do not want to pay for it.
I am willing to swap my time, my imagination and any unwanted goods for this baby. Knowing me I will spend more time than the AU$4k I would need to buy one, in time scheming how to get one. But isn’t that half the fun?
So what have I been up to
A
First I hit up Twitter to see what was being thrown about in the Twitterverse. There were some interesting results coming out of Tweetscan.
- Spotted this blog that is giving away free MacBook Air and iPhones. I need an iPhone and I could use the Air to leverage to the Pro maybe . Really need that iPhone….fancy a blog giving away all that stuff. I will be back to check out via RSS feeds I think!
- Apple appear to be incredibly generous with their replacement parts and upgrades with many 140 character missives praising them for replacing this or that for free, outside of warranty, or just plain upgrading for nix.
- A person I follow scored a Macbook pro as “in kind” for some training work he did for them…. nom nom nom
- Most people who are looking for a free Macbook Pro are participating in the US-centric referral type sites which is no good for lil ol’ Aussie me.
Time spent: 1 hour

Next on the list of potential methods of gaining a free Macbook Pro is to win the Marketing Pilgrim’s Search Engine Marketing Scholarship and swap the prizes with a rabid marketer for a MacBook Pro. I think that is a pretty good deal if done properly. Winning of course would be ultra difficult, but the backlink to the blog will be handy.
Budgeted time : 8 Hours

The Thirty Day Challenge kicks off tomorrow with whispers that there will be some FABULOUS prizes being given out along the way. This may get me deleted from many friends lists, but I am prepared to spam the crap out of everyone to win whatever is on offer and then leverage it.
Actually i lie, I wouldn’t subject my friends to more than one spam, my acquaintances on the other hand…mwuahahahahh!
Actually..I am on my knees now, begging you to follow any link I put up to the Thirty Day Challenge *puppy dog eyes*
Time Budgeted: Unknown at this stage
