And I just accepted my first freebie product for my blog too! But I warn prospective donors what they are in for.

I thought SOP with magazine reviews was to provide the product on 'loan', but never follow up on getting it back. So it's not really a freebie.

A couple of GossenMetrawatt multimeters :-D Still in the mail though... They saw my blog and liked it, so wanted me to have some freebies just in case I'd like to use them in future videos.

**Sweet. Congrats. Good to see you can make some money out of this internet thing.

Gotta love those whacky Germans:

Sure it is if they "never follow up on getting it back" :-)

Last time I got such a "freebie" they *DID* follow up on getting it back :-( (I have received others over the years however :-)

MrT.

From what I read on the link, it sounds like all you have to do is say, "I got these for free from the commpany."

I wonder what happens when the IRS gets wind of this?

Cheers! Rich
