Reading thru Kensters R2R and getting some good tips and ideas.

And one here intrigues me, incentivized offers.

Now, got an example from CJ/NB etc etc, this particular offer is all over the place. It allows incent traffic, so I read into that the fact you can give the end user whatever you want in order to get them to sign up. Correct?

The offer is $x upfront trial for 30 days then $3x monthly thereafter, however the aff gets paid $4x when the user signs up for the initial trial period. They dont have to stay beyond that for the aff to get paid.

Now the ethical bit. Whats to stop me saying to the end user listen, you have to pay $x to sign up, however if you pay that then I will give u $2x, ie double your money back. Obviously I know I will have to convince them into trusting me etc etc but what about the general bones of the deal?

I know companies that do incent offers expect the leads to be of less quality but even so, does this sound like a mistake from them?

    Incent offers normally user complete an offer to unlock download link of your ebook, watch a clip..etc etc
    This method you doing is call HARD incent. Which you pay users with cash. Not many offer allows cash incent.
    Game cash are ok.

    I see it no different than, hire a person from jobsites to complete your offer. (you still pay them in cash)

    You need to clarify this with your AM else you might risk getting banned.

    Maybe you can do that with incentive offers that allow cash incentive traffic. Anyway, your best bet is to contact your AM at cpa networks, they will be able to help you best with this.

    Got the reply back saying cash incentives are not allowed.

    Though what difference does it make on the incentive?

    I mean the ad company are already assuming that the lead will likely be worthless by allowing us to offer an incentive so whether I offer cash or a free ebook or course or whatever, what difference should it make to them?

    If it is legal, and will earn you money, and if it will not harm anyone, then it is probably ethical, IMO.

    Yeah, I definitely see your reasoning man.

    Doesn't make much sense to me either.

    Does anyone know of any sites that have offers that allow cash incentives?

    This is not a good/ethical method imo.
