    High pressure sales on the web

    I put in an order for a website utility and the confirmation page had something that i liked a lot. There was a section for "one time special offers for new customers" with a countdown timer going. Even though I knew it was a gimmick I felt a bit pressured to read the offers before the time ran...

    Aweber or getresponse?

    Which one is better? Does getresponse require double opt in like aweber? Also do they allow you to add emails manually (I hear aweber only allows emails to be added through their special forms)

    How many times to market same offer to email list?

    Hey guys, I'm curious how many times I should market the same offer to my email list. I have a pretty tightly nit email list and about 5 good relevant products to offer them, after that I'm done. I've never dealt with an email list but I've been told redundancy is key to selling. How many...

    Credit card affiliates denying me

    I got denied from cardoffers and creditcards.com because my website was a landing page for an unrelated product. I emailed them back saying the web site is not important because I do email campaigning and have a good tie in for a credit card offer but they held their position. Does anyone...

    Let's say you have a guy that does $10 a day net from arbitrage. He sets up about 30 MFA sites with scraped material and keeps or gets rid of them depending on what turns a profit. How does this guy rise to the 500 or even $1000 level? Is it just about increasing the budget to get more clicks...

    Selling ebooks?

    I wanted to get some opinions on something I've been thinking about. I read a book about direct marketing and one thing stood out to me: This means that a mediocre product marketed very well (YOU NEED THIS OR YOU WILL NOT BE COMPLETE) should make some money. I am considering doing just this in...

    Shady affiliate offers

    I'm seeing some pretty obscene affiliate offers out there and am wondering what their ploy is. Here is an example: Health insurance broker offering $4.50 pay per click. Says conversion rate is "144%" with a footnote saying they average 144 clicks per 100 visitors (This means they're willing to...

    Is there a legal angle for this idea?

    This idea is very grey area but bear with me. Torrent sites give away the IP addresses of all the people leaching the torrent files. It's easy to get their IPs, and once you have those you can WHOIS search to find who the ISP is. From there I want to contact the ISP to request the person's...

    MLMs, multi level marketing companies, are closely tied to affiliate marketing. Has anyone run a company like this? I know they are associated with pyramid schemes but if the company has a legitimate product to sell then I don't think there is a legal issue. And with several tiers I think MLMs...
