Merchants, have you got this email?
The first email is a tease.... basically "I've got a business proposition for you that will bring you extra sales. You won't have to do anything because I'll do it all for you. All I ask is 25% commission. Since you offer 75% currently, 25% is a steal. Let me know if you're interested and I'll send more details."
Their second email says (again paraphrasing) "I know you need content for your email newsletter. I will supply you with a series of articles, which direct them to buy your product. It will work best if you offer the product at a significant price reduction. My emails will also include links to my (product, site, squeeze page, etc.)."
I want to be clear I am not questioning anyone's motives. I'm not calling anyone unethical. As far as I can tell, it is all on the up-and-up.
My question... WIIFM??
Coming up with content for my newsletter is not hard and I already offer special price reductions from time to time...only now if I take on this new content, these messages will also include someone elses link, product, or squeeze page. I'm just not seeing the benefit.
Has anyone else seen this? Is there a benefit here that I am being hardheaded about and not seeing (knowing me that is a VERY realistic possibility!).
