Default Acai Products - Forget it?

I got accepted to a cpa network that has a great acai offer - EPC is high, conversion is ridiculous...! Offer page is great so I can see why, but my question is... should I put my time to it or is it impossible to make it work now?

Up where? To the top of Google? Don't worry about that, get your own traffic. Don't worry about the competition either, do what you want to do.

Did you check into the product carefully and make sure it is not one that rips off the consumers credit card? Most of the free acai trials are rip offs. Are you comfortable with that? Acai is a good product but many acai offers are not. I have an acai site with a reputable company...if you pm me your network I can probably tell you. I bet I can guess what it is....

Hi, MG,

Acai is a tough market but made tougher by the enforced continuity programme - Yes - they charge your card even if you cancel. There have been many complaints about the antics associated with this 'free' offer.

You might not like what I say - but I believe it.
Build it, make money, then build some more
Some old school smarts would help - and here's to Rob Toth for his help. Bloody good stuff, even the freebies!

Try Resversatrol(sp) instead. That is the future Acai. It is starting to get just as competitive, but there are some great keywords you can target with article marketing.

Acai has been a very easy market for me.

100% atrocity-free! No annihilations, assasinations, explosions, killers, crushers, massacres, bombs, skyrockets or nukes.

LilBlackDress,

Please IM me with the reputable Acai company. I'm still under 15 posts. I'm very excited in using CPA, but I have this stupid ethical problem after researching Acai trials on scam/complaint sites. I wonder why CPA Networks don't look into the legit ones first.

Blind Eyes can give the CPA market black ones.

Our AcaiSlim product is legit. It is a free-trial continuity offer and we have good retention. The consumer does not have to mail anything back to cancel. He/she can cancel by email or calling our toll-free number within fourteen days of their original free trial order. The lp is acaislimdiet.com . Let me know if you'd like more details.

It can still be a good market, but it the market is really getting slammed by negative press so you really need to consider if you can sleep at night if you are promoting one of these "shady" programs.

Also, how are you promoting this? Will you be using PPC or SEO/article marketing/bum marketing?

Mauricio,

I did a quick search for acaislimdiet.com complaints and what to you know...nothing surprising here for pill trials.

CPAFuel has a nice LP, but I do not see your Network on offervault or affspy yet.

I chose not to market Acai products based on conscience and ethics. The claims made by the companies selling acai for weight loss are vastly exaggerated. It's a great antioxidant, but weight loss product? Not so much.

Default Re: Acai Products - Forget it?

It depends on the company. I market an acai product that is very honest. I did not go in for the free trial acai when I started. I found a supplement that is one time buy, pay up front, 60 day money back.
They are honest and ethical.
And its an excellent product which I use myself.

I just recently found another offer that has a trial and that one is good to, though almost all free trials are not.

Please don't lump them altogether.

And yes Acai still does very well.

To be fair, there have been 18 complaints on acaislimdiet on that board in roughly the past year. I'm sure there's 100K plus orders of this product, but still...it's the usual suspects...rebilling/overbilling and not canceling is their MO.

Acai is a tough market, to many people bidding on the same PPC keywords, to many fake flogs and other sites. Not saying it can't be done, but unless you've got about 30k of cash to throw around, you won't get anywhere.

As a site flipper, I have seen many people trying to dump their acai sites on Flippa ... Personally, I would not promote any forced continuity programs at all ... none.

I wouldn't bother too much now. Adwords have given it the flick and unless you have a lot of cash to play with on the media networks, I wouldn't bother. Build something that will be around for a while and you'll be better off in the long run.

Default Yes, forget it. Re: Acai Products - Forget it?

Having lost 50+ pounds myself and gone thru a tremendous amount of research while doing it, I find it very difficult to believe ANY pill or berry or what have you will help you lose weight.

Losing weight (and keeping it off) requires a lifestyle change. Pills/whatever don't cut it.

I get emails all the time that Oprah endorses it for weight loss. Oprah's take (or at least her site) is at

The Truth About Oprah, Dr. Oz, Acai berry, MonaVie and Resveratrol - Oprah.com

So...it all comes down to what you're comfortable promoting.

Acai is a good little earner for me at least.

Not really comfortable with the Free Trials which are all about continuity, charging silly prices for really inferior quality stuff.

The flip-side of all the Free Trial garbage is that a good quality site with some good quality Acai can make a mint.

Market it for what it is, market a good quality product and there is tons of money to be made.

A good quality Acai affiliate program will pay as much as the Free Trials anyway, so why market c**p. Plus your target market is wising up and sites with Free Trials are getting short thrift.

What's an example of good acai that won't scam customers ?
I'm looking for a acai product that won't scam customers with predatory rebills.

Plenty out there. Don't want to get accused of dropping links etc so I won't mention any by name.

Anything with:
Free Trial on a CPA basis
MLM structure
Touting Acai as a Weight Loss Pill

Steer clear. Just my opinion of course

Acai is an antioxidant. Look for merchants marketing it for what it is.

Default Re: Acai Products - Forget it?

I have had an acai site for about a year now. And I have all organic traffic. I have never paid to advertise. I use acai myself and feel it is an excellent supplement.

I carry two products. The first one is a pay full price up front. And I just added another one with the only legitimate free trial I have found.

I am not sure if this is a good time to enter the acai market if you are not already in it..but if you want the names you can pm me, both companies carry other great products also. And if you want to know if the product you are considering is a scam offer you can pm me on that to.

MoreNiche Affiliate Program are currently getting ready to launch a new acai product that isn't free trial - this is where it's going to be at: PureAcaiBerry - Sign Up for Early Bird Discounts

I don't know how good the product is going to be but I think Moreniche are pretty reputable so it might be worth checking out.

Default Re: Acai Products - Forget it?

What I suggest doing prior to marketing an acai product is calling the company. The number is usually listed at the bottom of the product offer.
With many scam offers the number will be delisted or you can't get through.

I spent about 45 minutes talking to each of the companies whose product I represent, to make sure it was something I felt comfortable marketing.

In addition you should google the product and carefully read any consumer complaints.

It is also important to market responsibly.

And at my website I share that :
~ Oprah never endorsed a specific acai weight loss product
~ If you want to lose weight you have to eat well and exercise
~ Acai has not been proven to help with certain diseases though studies are being conducted that look positive.
~ Acai is a great supplement that can help support the bodies efforts to be healthy
etc.

I feel I share an accurate picture of this supplement and I really believe in the product.

I am happy to share the companies I work with, one has a sub affiliate program, the other does not...just pm me.

Also if you have an acai product you are considering and are not sure PM me I can usually tell you if it it is a scam or not.
And if you do get into it, PM me for one tip I discovered, that can potentially save you a lot of time and hard work!

Hi T3DMNET,
Sorry, I missed your post earlier. I will give you a link to the two companies I work with. And give you some tips.
