Has anyone used tradepub.com to promote their free industry magazines? Please share your experiences Best, James
I realize this thread is a little old, I did a search for "tradepub" to see what others are doing. In any case, I setup a site with tradepub / revresponse.com. All the affiliate sites pretty much look the same, in terms of content/magazines shown, and you can add your own sites header and footer to put the magazines offers in your own look and feel. For example, you can see my tradepub site at http://themoneykings.tradepub.com and then my actual blog is at http://themoneykings.com You can see that the sites look similar, but notice that my tradepub site is hosted on their tradepub.com servers. Now, as for my experiences...I've found it to be a very reputable company and enjoy it. The magazines offered truly are free, and I've signed up for a few myself that I have a legitimate interest in such as eWeek, some virtualization whitepapers, etc. They advertise that you get between like $1.50 to $20 for successful leads, and on average I seem to realize somewhere between $3 and $4 per signup. The magazines truly are free, no credit card or anything required to signup, so its a great product to offer your readers. The only thing you need to be aware of is that the person subscribing must qualify to get the magazine or publication. In other words, a restaurant chef is not likely to qualify for a free subscription to Oracle Database magazine, unless somehow they run a large enough business, etc. A computer programmer who uses oracle is likely to get accepted for the free subscription. Lastly, the account managers and tech support at tradepub are great. They get back to your questions very quickly with helpful response. I'd recommend you setup an account with them if you're interested. I've been very pleased with them overall. I hope this helps. Tim
