I think it would be fantastic if they would all offer us a subscription for half price (or less) for life instead. I’d easily get sucked into a $9.95 or $14.95 monthly subscription and would be far less likely unsubscribe than when it’s $25 dollars and up. With a CD or DVD, $19.95 would be fair. They’d keep more subscribers and have far fewer cash backs and unsubscribes to their newsletters. And of course the magazines and CD’s are littered full of affiliate programs that they earn money on so why not get the price down and sell more of them?

The worst deal so far (squeeze page has changed since this happened and hopefully it was just an over enthusiastic out-sourcer responsible) was a guy who’s book I wanted and when I finally decided to buy it there was a free offer for his insiders club. Cost came up as zero in the shopping cart and there was no way to remove it. It was free for 60 days. Wouldn’t you know it on day 30 I got billed. I complained of course and it took three emails until I finally saw that there was one small line added in about an additional free product that of course I didn’t see because I didn’t read the whole page. My decision was made before I went to the site. All I wanted was the darned book! I thought the freebie CD set was part of the insider club stuff. GRRRRR!!!!!!! Thankfully my credit card expired and despite their email to me and my friendly (yes, really!) reply to check their previous correspondence and get back to me, I haven’t heard back yet.

What is wrong with people? While I won’t say who this was online since he’s got more money for better lawyers than me I certainly won’t be recommending his products like I used to. Next book I buy will be from Amazon, not through the author’s site.

Cheers,
