Hi there,
I’ve just stumbled across an offer which could be quite interesting for newbies or if you are not yet familiar with the possibilities Google offers you to make money online.
It’s a CD with several video explanations which they are shipping to your home – but only if you live in the US/UK or Canada. This means, I couldn’t test it out myself, first, like I usually do.
It looks like a good and genuine offer, though. They only require you to pay for shipping: $0.99
Here are some of the benefits:
- How to pick the right keywords
- How to promote your business
- How to get listed in Google fast
and more.
I HAVE REMOVED THIS OFFER. AS I SAID IN MY EMAIL, I COULDN’T CHECK OUT THE FULL OFFER BECAUSE I’M NOT LIVING IN ONE OF THE ACCEPTED COUNTRIES.
IT SEEMS THAT THIS OFFER IS NOT AS GOOD AS IT SOUNDED – I WILL BE SENDING MORE DETAILS TOMORROW. I’M REALLY TIRED NOW…
(I’ve been at the CeBit in Hannover all weekend and just returned from there. More about that -incl. some photos- tomorrow, too…!)

Shipping charge for an instant download???????
Cheap ploy for profile harvesting, including credit card details. Behave yourself !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Read the T&Cs carefully!! Your credit card is charged a $49.95 non-refundable charge after a 24 HOUR review period. A quote from the T&C.
“At the end of the 24 hour review period, the $49.95 non refundable monthly fee will be billed to the credit card used by You to complete the signup process every 30 days unless/until you cancel the subscription.”
It does not accept UK postcodes?
When clicking “send my kit”,I keep getting message that there is 1 error but having checked and triple checkedthere is definitely no errors.Too bad as I have complete trust in you Detlev.

I loved this google info. you can get a cd mailed to you for 99 cents or, if you want it right away you can choose the download option…
Sounds like somebody’s had a bad experience in the past Jim…
Hi Jim,
“Cheap ploy for profile harvesting, including credit card details. Behave yourself”
RE: Jim, HOW ELSE do you want to pay online if not with a credit card…!? And how do you want to have them send you a CD if you’re not giving your details? Isn’t that normal business practice…??
Sorry for the waiting time to answer the comments here but I was on the CeBit Computer Exhibition in Hannover all weekend. I don’t know exactly what Jim’s problem is, though… These kind of offers are done all the time. I have seen many membership sites where this is done, too.
They offer e.g. a $1 trial and then after a certain time, it becomes a full membership at e.g. $29.97. I have personally already done this in the past as well with my Niche Content Audio site.
But as Walter just mentioned they seem to have fine print (something I couldn’t see because I am living in Germany and the form doesn’t work for me…) which is not like the standard offers because the free test period is with just 24 hours a little on the short side – before the full fee of $49.97 is charged.
As Jeff pointed out, the material is good – but you have to compare it with a regular sale rather than “just” a free offer. I am really sorry about this – there was no way for me to see this!
I will be mentioning this charge in tomorrow’s email. If the material is really good then I think, a one time charge of $49.95 would be okay but they should have made it clear that it was a subscription. It would be interesting to SEE what the exact page looked like… If someone can send me a screenshot, it would be great!
Best regards,
Detlev Reimer
I must have totally misread the offer page !
I could have sworn the word ‘free’ was used, in which case I don’t want to pay by credit card or any other method you might want to suggest. I also imagined that I saw a reference to a post and package charge, followed by an ‘instant download’ facility. Still a bit confused here, how do you square postal charges with instant download ?
There was a smell about the whole thing . Let the word free mean free, as in unconditional, otherwise use a different word.
Integrity should be all, if trusting relationships are to be built and maintained, but then again , you should know that !!
