My Review of (ppc) the 90 Days Free Trial by Smart Subscriber

No comments

By Ahmed Keddad

  We regularly see offers come up that promise a free trial of something or other, but in most cases you would be asked to provide a credit card number, and in many cases you will be expected to use your Pay pall account to sign up.

Many services,programs and products tend to even ask you for a payment of(ONLY $1)in order to start any kind of trial, which seems as though you are getting an amazing deal.

The trick that they are using is in fact simple, their aim is to get your credit card number or Pay pall account locked into their auto re-billing feature, they would tell you its for your convenience in order to hide behind their real motive.

So many people actually offer products or services are making more money, exploiting our negligence in canceling these auto re-bills.

In no way we can generalise and assume that all marketers are involved in this shameful practice, the majority do provide great value, nevertheless this tactic is overly abused marketing tactic, for one reason only and that is to make a large extra recurring income for the product or the service owner.

Unethical marketers rely on us naive subscribers to forget about the trials we signed up for, and few months later we finally notice we have been charged a certain amount of dollars every month.

So do watch out for this unethical practice before signing up to any free trials.

The only service I have come across so far does offer a free trial(90 days free trial) is an on line publication(ezine)called as Guru Marketer.com. This on line publication has received generous praise from many on line marketers, as it provides a valuable information that deals with the numerous branches of Internet Marketing.

This online publication(ezine)is not much different to most e zines that are received in our email box daily form various Internet Marketers. But this e zine is different in a very important way to all those other e zines, not just its the only one that uses affiliate links in every issue, it also pays out 100% of its entire commission profits back to its subscribers.

The way that this works is, once you have signed up for your 90 days free trial (no credit card number or Pay pall account asked for), you would then be able to go into your administration area called the Smart Admin Panel. where you would find a list of all the products and services the e zine advertises.

For your part all you have to do is join all the affiliate programs(free) and enter your affiliate IDs for them, now the issue would send your affiliate links instead of the program providers!

For every person you refer to the program through your own Smart Affiliate Link, will be placed under you and every product or service they buy from the ezine you would make a commission because they went through your affiliate link!

The obvious question that comes to mind is why would this ezine is giving this service for free for 90 days?

And also paying commissions in this period.

They do however admit that they are banking on the fact that after 90 days you would have made a large commission, if you have promoted the program and products well, that you would carry on as member.

Top 3 DRTV Best Practices that Should Always Be Followed

By Jamie Hanson

  While the direct response marketing industry has many DRTV best practices that are beneficial when followed there are three that you never want to skip regardless of your budget or the specific type of DRTV campaign. Following these three best practices will not guarantee success, but they definitely increase the odds substantially.

Unique Selling Proposition (USP)

When marketing your product you do not want to enter a market that is already full of similar products. As a result, you want to create a new market for your product and create a position that is wide and deep. The goal is to saturate your new market. This requires you to determine your product’s unique selling proposition, also known as USP. This will require using the product, touching it, and looking at it in order to come up with all of its benefits. You may even use a small test market and have them provide their favorite aspects and features of a product. This can really help you determine your product’s unique marketing features.

Scripting

An exceptional script is what sets the successful DRTV campaigns apart from the unsuccessful ones. As a result, that’s why it is one of the top 3 DRTV best practices. Make sure the writers are included in creative sessions, and not left on their own when writing the script. Instead, keep them in the loop with the rest of the team, brainstorm together, and really allow the team to coalesce. This will result in a stronger and more convincing script. The better the script is the better the DRTV campaign will be. Keep in mind, too, that the common formula for script writing used for many infomercials doesn’t necessarily have to be followed to have a good script. Sometimes, setting your infomercial apart from the rest with an outstanding script that breaks all the rules can be just as effective.

Demonstrations

Finally, if you are selling a product via direct response television you need to have demonstrations. You will want as many as possible that show viewers what makes your product better than all the rest. Demonstrations should never be left out of a DRTV infomercial so be sure to build the infomercial around them.

DRTV advertisers can improve their return on investment by following DRTV best practices for testing, creative, and media buying.

A real social marketing campaign is much more and more focussed to generating leads and complete awareness as well as meeting the targeted marketplace in its own backyard. internet 2.0 pages like Squidoo and Hubpages.

Not all methods will see, you’ve got to write complete new methods in case your usual strategy failed to work or was not very well, let me tell you how it goes in our company, we have separate departments for all SEO connected aspects, be it Search engine optimization and search engine marketing, internet promoting and directory submission, social bookmarking submission, internet advertising via classifieds, blogs, forums and so on and every search optimization and search selling campaign we tend to accommodate has to go through variety of processes here in our company.

What is Social Bookmarking? It is a public list of the favorites. Not all of your favorites, simply the favorites you want to share with others. You are able to feature any website to your public list and retrieve it from any computer. The more individuals who bookmark a site, the more widespread it becomes. For example, shall we say you’re selling widgets for a very nice price. You bookmark your home page on many open bookmarking sites. When someone is seeking a widget, they do a search within the bookmarking site and your bookmark comes up. They go see your web site and decide your prices are so sensible, they might want to come later when they need another Widget. Then they add you to their list.
