Great info and example.

Even though it's not mentioned on the sales page, you still end up on a continuity. They're also wise enough to know not to enable Paypal as a payment option -- making it difficult to unsubscribe in some cases.

AndyStomp, Boy do we miss you!, with all the fluff and swill coming out of stompernet these days, it's really hard to find any good SEO/SEM info these days. It would be great for you to have a SEO video series produced. I have been a member of SEO Braintrust since opening, but so far i feel like i am getting my monies worth. Most everything from them so far is already known to me, their have been several problems with them being able to keep on track. Too bad they don't have an advanced program. Best wishes in the coming New Year! Lost Sole (soul) Hey Andy,

The reason I gave them is that it was a bribe (pinched that from Mr Kern) to take out the optional monthly support plan of $37. I'm currently getting 76% taking out the optional support. The first 2 days of the launch I was doing forced continuity - but didnt get a single sale. This is not an internet marketing product - its an accounting system add-on reporting tool, it seems the same issues apply right across other industries as well.

Does it help if its for a limited time (10 months)? Its a site for caregivers - people caring for a family member with Alzheimer's. Even if i am giving away a full-length CD?
