What Do You Think Of These Recent "Try-My-Physical-Magazine-1-Month-For-Free"?
In the past few months, i have seen some big-name IMers jumping onto the Physical Product bandwagon.
I can think of at least 4 such marketers.
This is a great business model for the Marketers (and yes, the affiliates too).
It adds a continuity program to their arsenal, and with the kind of lists that they have, and with the kind of JV partners who promote their products, i am sure they get literally several thousands of subscribers.
And that means quite a handsome amount to their bottom lines every month!
I have also noticed this...none of them (i think) accepts payment through PayPal, because canceling through PP is very easy. They only accept Credit Cards, and in case you want to cancel your subscription, you need to get in touch with them. Not as easy as canceling through PayPal.
1. My first question is :
Although good for marketers, is this model good for the subscribers, and for the IM industry as a whole?
The content provided with these magazines can easily be made downloadable, and given to the subscribers every month, for a MUCH lower cost.
Instead of charging them $30 (i think that's the average subscription cost per month for all these magazines), they can deliver the same content for less than $10...by making it downloadable. And you can always take a printout of the magazine if you want.
2. My second question
If anyone of you have received any of these magazines, what do you think of the quality?
Is it worth the amount you are paying every month?
Do you learn anything new?
Or is it the same re-hashed information that get bombarded to us everyday in mails, that we already know anyways?
I have received 2 magazines from a well-known marketer, and i had to cancel after 2 months, because i did not feel it was worth paying that amount.
What do you think?
