I recently read a newspaper article that was about a guy who had managed to blag about £40,000 of free stuff by using his blog and writing about products. I decided to look into this and found that there are many review blogs out there and some of them do get free sample products sent to them. There are some amazing blogs that review electronics such as things like the iPad and stuff like that and companies send them the product so that they can write about it.
This may be an idea to try out I could quite easily make a blog. I could start a blog that reviews products I have around my house and give an honest review of them and whether they are worth the money or not. If I do that and then manage to make it a popular blog companies may send me free samples so that I could tell people about them.
Some companies do this because they like to create a buzz about their product so that people are more likely to buy it. Sending a couple of iPads to popular review blogs would mean that Apple were saving a lot of money advertising. Sending those free samples to the blogs would have cost less than a big TV ad campaign it also means that Apple is reaching a global audience without spending huge amounts of money.
