Free Stuff
Who doesn’t love getting something for nothing? Don’t listen to people who say that nothing in life is free, they just don’t know where to look. Here is a long list of free stuff just for you. I am always on the lookout for freebies and I will update this list as I go. So, be sure to check back often.
Learn for Free:
- iTunes U – iTunes is way more than just music. At iTunes, U, you can learn for free from top universities, famous museums, and other cultural institutions. Access free video and audio content in the form of lectures, language lessons, tours, and much more! I recommend checking out the Top Downloads found on the right hand of the page. View it all on your computer or take this educational content with you anywhere on your iPod or iPhone. And it’s all free!
- Apple workshops – Whether you are thinking of buying a Mac, iPod, or iPhone, already have one, or just want to know what all the fuss is about, Apple holds free workshops in their retail stores just about everyday. They are usually about an hour long and I find them to be very fun and informative.
Learn a new language for free:
Listen to Free Music:
- iTunes Free Section – iTunes is a free download, available to everyone whether you have a Mac or a PC. On the homepage of the iTunes store, scroll all the way down the page until you find the Free on iTunes section. Every week, you will find new free songs.
