Affiliate Rebate Processor Secrets Revealed
Companies who advertise affiliate rebate processor positions are hoping people who are new to the online world or who haven’t had any exposure to legitimate affiliate marketing methods will join their “make money with your PC at home” program.
Even experienced affiliate marketers can fall for the misleading information made by Internet marketers who promote these websites…
We’re going to let you know what we discovered about this opportunity and let you decide if this is something that’s a waste of time or worth pursing.
How Even Experienced Affiliate Marketers Get Hooked…
Admittedly, it’s difficult to determine what the affiliate rebate processor position really is because the promoters of these types of websites have hired extremely talented copywriters who know how to deceive readers into believing these programs are something they really aren’t.
When you see those words, “rebate processor,” you think of those rebate coupons you send in to product manufacturers for a check in the mail. Naturally, you think those sites are telling you they can get you a work at home job with one of those companies processing those rebate coupons for them.
However, people who have actually joined these affiliate rebate processor programs will tell you it’s not like that at all. If you have any experience with affiliate marketing, you will first be outraged by what they tell you to do — something you already know — affiliate marketing. Then you’ll probably end up feeling like a fool for being deceived.
What Rebate Processors Do…
Here’s what people say these rebate processors are told to do… Sign up as an affiliate with the “company,” which every experienced affiliate marketer already knows about, and then promote the company’s line of digital products using PPC (pay per click) advertising in the search engines. To entice customers to purchase through the processor’s affiliate links, they are told to offer a rebate to the customer if they buy from them.
The affiliate rebate processor will then login to his “company,” account to check for sales from the ads placed in the search engines. Then when he verifies the orders, he sends payments or “rebates” in the amount promised in his ads to customers by Paypal.
What Rebate Processor Promoters Don’t Tell You…
The smooth-talking sales websites for these rebate processor jobs fails to tell you how much effort and costs are involved… After you pay their “registration fee,” THEN they will tell you to use PPC advertising to attract customers, but they don’t tell you about how much money you may have to spend before any of those clicks to your ads turn into a sale.
When these websites mention that all you do is simply fill out “forms,” what they mean is you will be filling out the forms to place your PPC ads on the search engines. And by the way, when they say in their ads that the “company” will pay you every two weeks, what that really means is the company will pay you after YOU get a customer to buy through your affiliate link… To experience affiliate marketers, that sounds like something they know how to do, but they don’t call themselves affiliate rebate processors just because their ads promises customers cash back for buying through their affiliate links.
Top affiliate marketers originated the idea of offering a discount on products purchased through their affiliate links, but they didn’t distort the meaning of it by calling these discounts a rebate. The discount offers has caused problems for some merchants that actually own these products and they have warned their affiliates to stop this practice.
Unethical affiliates can claim that a customer didn’t buy through their affiliate link and not pay out the rebate. Renegade affiliates can get away with this because the merchants aren’t able to track this type of activity and the customer can easily forget which affiliate they bought from… And unpaid customers may demand their rebates from the merchant.
So before you join one of these affiliate rebate processor membership sites, try to find out what those people who joined think of it. If you search the web for this topic, you will find many reviews and discussions.
