RevResponse offers payment for free subscription offers delivered by widget, allowing website owners to custom selected free content that is relevant to their readers.
RevResponse pitches itself as being an alternative or addition to CPM and CPC advertising that the user maintains control of. Affiliates get to pick from 900 offers including business and trade magazines, white papers and podcasts covering more than 30 industries. Categories include: computers, technology, healthcare, sales and marketing, finance, telecom, food and beverage, transportation and more. Some suppliers that will be well known to readers include Macworld, The Economist and eWeek.
The display options are fairly broad; users can create standard banner ads or select from a variety of widgets. Websites, blogs and even email is supported, and you can create custom text for inclusion in RSS feeds. Qualified high traffic affiliates also get access to a customized version of this page (complete with logo/ branding) that can be promoted to readers.
Payouts per signup are a minimum of $1.50 per qualified offer with “typical” payouts ranging from $2.00 to $20.00 per action.
Affiliate programs aren’t new, nor are giving away free products, but as we see the rise of widget ad providers, RevResponse fits in as one solution that bloggers may find makes a reasonable compliment to their current inventory. Those interested can sign up here.
very interesting. I will have to look into this.
Nice idea but it’s roughly equivalent to what you can make doing the same thing using Amazon… and you have the added bonus of “if they buy other stuff affiliate $$$” then you make even more!

This looks like it will be much more successful than the homeless guy with the wrinkled page of magazine subscriptions who knocks on my door every month. Just add internet!

very interesting. hmmm
interesting.
Did something change on Techcrunch’s design? I have comments at the bottom, your sidebar seems messed up and the overall design of the blog seems out of whack?
Is it just me?
This is exactly what happens when I use Wordpress 2.5 and embed a video! Drives me nuts!!!

@jeff mccord – i’m not seeing what you’re seeing (i’m in safari 3 on mac)…
I bet Jeff is using IE.
@dave
I think you just solved a huge problem I’ve been having!!!
I’m on Firefox 3 (beta) and it’s screwed up!!
THANK YOU.
In what currency they can pay and what the system of payment support?
They pay monthly when your account is over $45. Payments are made directly to your PayPal account.
What I don’t like about “customized version of this page” they force you to use their subdomain
Wow, can it be true? another way to make money on the internet?
this company is basically offering a dying paradigm. i checkout their site what a bunch of dummies. i now remember who these guys are. they have been peddling tradepubs for years. i had a bad experience with those guys very shady. Smells like a scam
also have had bad experiences with NetLine/TradePub/RevResponse. Wouldnt want to wait around for their checks to arrive.

good idea.. i will try..
Affiliate programs by a different name. Frankly, I don’t see whatever could be new in this…c’mon since the days of Amazon Affiliate programs, these sorts of things have been peddled around for long. May be they will work, may be they won’t, but let’s not pretend there’s anything unique about these
Sounds like an interesting idea. But I will have to take a closer look before jumping on.
@2 – “Nice idea but it’s roughly equivalent to what you can make doing the same thing using Amazon… and you have the added bonus of “if they buy other stuff affiliate $$$” then you make even more!”
Hi Jon (#2),
It’s actually fundamentally different than Amazon. Amazon’s associate program is based on the premise of the publisher driving a transactional sale for a specific good. RevResponse on the other hand pays publishers to GIVE away free content to their audience. As you can imagine, conversion rates on a free offer are substantially greater than any paid offer could ever hope to be.
To provide further clarity, you are rewarded for every free offer your audience requests…not just the first transaction. If your audience requested 4 free offers, you’d be privy to the earnings for each of those.
I hope this helps.

@12 – “In what currency they can pay and what the system of payment support?”
We pay in US dollars via check or PayPal Mass Pay. PayPal Mass Pay works the same way as normal PayPal but without the costs to the publisher. We opted to incur those costs on our side so you don’t have to.
We discussed this in further detail on our blog if you’re interested in reading more:

Good idea, free content you get paid for =oD. I just hope they have ad sizes where the content becomes big so people can stay on your site rather than go to other sites. I Love the idea but I want to see how it turns out
@22 – Hi Miles, we actually offer you a free co-branded site that seamlessly matches your UI allowing you to keep your visitors on your site.
Hope this helps.
