That idea is so good you should have kept it to yourself and came out with your own offer.

But now that it's out in the open, let's get the ball rolling on this.

I'm actually planning on that, I've got 3 other good offers in mind, one of which is already running on facebook (just an e-book) and it's doing really well. If I set it up as a $3 trial and did rebills I know it would do way better but the biggest issue so far is finding a reliable merchant account provider that can do rebills. I had a good one back in 2004 but his emails are bouncing and the phone number is no longer in service :( If anybody knows somebody who can help me out here I promise to give you the first crack at promoting it ;) Hell I'll even throw in the demographic and targeting data I'm using now :music06:
 


I know the music thing would actually kill pretty heavy with a rebill as I worked in the music industry pretty heavy for some time. There is a lot more money being made right now selling dreams than there is selling records.

acting/modeling/singing/talent casting kits/guides (like grants), that shit would rock on facebook/myspace.

I used to run Hollywood Casting (acting/modelling) campaign with NeverBlue last year. That was before Facebook Ads opened to public and around the time my campaigns on NB started to get scrubbed.

You guys are killing the industry with the 'take advantage of ignorant consumers' mentality. This is all reminiscent of the Co-Reg bubble of '02 - '05 with PrimeQ/Vendare/TheUseful/HiSpeed amongst others. A few companies did it responsibly, paid well, executed properly. . .then the market was overwhelmed with nefarious would-be advertisers that clamored for more and more co-reg, more and more heaping BULLSHIT on the consumer and guess what. . .Co-Reg is for peons, now. Enjoy the rebill fantasy days while it lasts - I sure am - but know that it's not the way to build a foundation for future growth.

Rebills have been around in affiliate marketing for almost 10 years now (and much longer on TV), possibly longer and people have been saying they're gonna die that entire time.

Yes, there's a few bad apples, but they get weeded out pretty quickly and there's always people that will fall for them.
 
I'm just waiting till Dateline NBC or Oprah does a special on "the underground affiliate marketing industry" or some bullshit like that outing the industry as a whole and how it works etc making it out to be one big scam. Once that happens, you'll be sure to see campaigns shitting the bed.

Not looking forward to that day.

Hello friend,

Point of affiliate marketing is for scam people to make big money and live life of luxury. Most easy way for do is free trial scam.

If no scam people then no can make big money.

I no think free trial scam go away because people who do very smart. They use company create in other country that hard for catch or sue.

Once scam to much people and in trouble they can move away money and declare bankrupt. Later create new company and product for scam again.

So affiliate market can still make good money and live good life.

Good luck bro

That's probably too broad and confusing for the average viewer. They would instead just single out a controversial product or type of products. Tobacco companies spend billions a year on advertising. If they do a news special on this, they aren't going to focus on the tobacco sales reps or the people designing the magazine ads.


The Columbia House record club started in the 1950's. The Netflix free trial isn't going away anytime soon. Video Professor is a $189.00 rebill and supposedly has had over 10 million customers. The CEO dude from the commercials gets treated like a respectable businessman on financial shows on CNN and such.
 
If dateline or oprah was going to do a special on it they would do it on the offers themselves not really the affiliate side of it. Either way you are right if that happened then conversions would be shit.

Damn, I should watch what I say on WF, since now their writers/researchers have probably caught onto this thread and now have a story! :rolleyes:

Props to me for bringing down the rebill affiliate industry in a single post.

Better call Columbia House and let them know... they'll probably have to close up all of these: Columbia House Movies, Television and More available at ColumbiaHouse.com

Key numbers for fiscal year ending December, 2007:
Sales: $401.9M

Bummer. Only $400M from negative-option rebilling.

Those are advertised as memberships though. People know memberships have recurring billing. The acai and similar rebills are marketed to resemble a one time purchase, with the rebill information tucked away where people will be least likely to notice it. I just think that somebody, no matter if it's their own fault for being stupid, who has ordered a "free trial" and then has a surprise $80 credit card charge, will be far less likely to trust any trial offer on the internet in the future, even the ones that really are just trials. They might avoid internet purchases altogether.

Hello friend,

That true. I think compay legitimate actual give time for customer for try product.

I hear acai and grant scam offer say give 14 day trial but no send product until after 2 week. So when customer actual receive product already have charge of hundreds on credit card.

I think just have accept fact affiliate marketing is design for scam people to make money.

Good luck bro.
