We’re Giving Away a Nintendo Wii!

Written by John Cow on September 7th, 2007

Want to Learn How to Build a Business Not Just a Blog.. for FREE? CLICK HERE Now to Find Out How!

We’re probably starting to bore you guys with all our free give-aways but we can’t help ourselves so here’s another one. Who wants to win a brand new in the box Nintendo Wii and a $50 free game voucher to top it off? You do! (because we’ve already got one).

Obviously we’re doing what we do best, giving away other people’s stuff! This competition is fully sponsored by Cellforcash dot Com who are also giving away a Wii on their own website. You could enter both competitions and take home two of those awesome game consoles!

The rules to enter the draw are very simple again:

  • You need to write a post that’s dedicated to this contest which needs to be about 150-200 words.
  • We’d like a link in that post to our fantastic Wii sponsor, CellforCash.com.
  • Sign up with their affiliate program so you too can start earning cash for other people’s old cell phones.
  • A link to this post so everyone can join in the fun!
  • Bookmarking this post on Digg, Reddit, Del.icio.us etc will get you extra kudos

Just in case you’re not one of the lucky ones that’s gonna win a wii, you still could get paid by the folks over at Cellforcash dot Com because they will pay you for your old cell phone! How many of you have 1 or more old phones stashed away in cupboards, boxes and desks? We’ve got about 4 and this is a great opportunity for us to clean up that mess and get paid for it. Dying to get your hands on an iPhone now that they’re $200 cheaper? Grab your chance and sell your old mobile for cash!

According to Inform Inc., a non profit independent research organization, about 130 million cell phones are retired each year in the US. Other organizations estimate that there may be as many as 500 million cell phones lying idle in the desks and closets of America.

500 million cell phones in the US alone! That’s a huge chunk of change waiting to be cashed in! If you don’t have an old cell phone anymore, you might want to ask your friends, family or some perfect stranger for their old phones. Just tell them you’re doing a science project or something and that you’re more than happy to help them get rid of that old phone. :twisted: If you’re too lazy to collect them yourself, you can join the Cellforcash dot Com affiliate program which pays you $5 per completed transacation.

Have a look at these numbers:

  • Over 70% of Americans do not know that they can recycle their old cell phone.
  • Less than 5% of obsolete cell phones are refurbished or recycled.
  • In a recent survey, only 2.3% of Americans recycled their old cell phones and 7% threw them in the garbage.

As you can see, recycling old cell phones is big business but these guys also sponsor and donate huge amounts of cash to charity projects. You could infact choose not to get paid for the old cell phone but donate the cash you’d get for it straight to a good cause like 911 phones. But for now you’ve probably got only one good cause on your mind, getting your hands on one of those free Wii game consoles and a $50 game voucher!

*Contest deadline is the 30th of September. We will draw and announce the winner on October 1st.

A little off topic: Everybodygoto dot Com is giving away free cool geek t-shirts! Get ‘em while they’re nerdy!

Not likely! I need one for the office and one for home.

Just a warning to anybody thinking of buying Resident Evil for the Wii they win, don’t it’s rubbish.

Cool! I used to have a Wii - they’re pretty good fun when you’re got people around!

I did get bored of it after a while though and sold it =)

Do we have to give a trackback? A pingback? Or do we just post here when we’ve done everything to enter?

Looks like f we don’t have a phone to sell on CellForCash, then we can’t signup for the referral program? Any ideas? Am I missing something?

This is one item I want to win or earn, because it is just way to expensive right now, but I want one.

Count me in. I’ve heard that the Wii can be used as a exercise equipment. That would be cool.

Here’s my blog entry about this contest:

p.s. I love the new look.
