How to get a free iPhone
- Step 1: Go back in time to the day before the announcement.
- Step 2: Buy $3500 in Apple stock.
- Step 3: Sell the day after the announcement.
- Step 4: Take your winnings to the Cingular store.
There’s a lesson in there that I’ll leave as an exercise for the reader.

A few books I'm reading now:
-
What Got You Here Won't Get You There: How Successful People Become Even More Successful
-
The Simplicity Survival Handbook: 32 Ways To Do Less And Accomplish More
A few books I'd recommend:
-
Naked Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science
by Charles Wheelan -- A fantastic overview of the field of Economics. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book.
-
A Short History of Nearly Everything
by Bill Bryson -- a true tale of scientific thinking throughout history. You'll be amazed by how much we still don't know.
-
Freakonomics [Revised and Expanded]: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything
by Steven D. Levitt, Stephen J. Dubner -- a fun read offering a somewhat different way of looking at society. Answers questions like "Why do drug dealers still live with their moms?", and what qualities in a parent matter for the success of a child later in life?

Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity
by David Allen. I'm a bit of a GTD freak since reading this, but productivity == $$ (whether you can simply get more work done in a given time, or work less by focusing on the right tasks.)

Or you can go to http://www.theiphonelottery.com and win one. There’s no catch, just register and click on ads to enter. You don’t have to buy anything and your contact info will stay private. The money comes from ads that advertisers place, not from selling your email.

I’m always surprised by these “permission based marketing” business models, but they sure seem to be profitable.

My buddy, who did one of those “free iPod” offers last year and actually got his, pointed me to this free iPhone site - http://iphone.netwebix.com
He’s been rubbing his free iPod in my face for a year since I said he was an idiot for signing up.

It’s funny. Normally I wouldn’t approve all these self-marketing comments, but somehow, given the topic of this post, it seems appropriate ;-)

Eric, since you said it’s ok, let me tell you how this “system” works…
You’re right, it’s all “permission based marketing” business models, and you’re also right that they remain profitable.
