As promised a few days ago, it’s time for our review of RevResponse. Now is as good of a time as any, as RevResponse is offering a $50 bonus for mentioning their program. Take note that this offer is only good through July 31, 2008.

I’m not reviewing RevResponse as a provider of free content. This review is meant for bloggers looking to monetize their site in a unique way. That’s one of my favorite parts about RevResponse so far; you aren’t spamming your readers with ads or trying to sell a project. You get paid simply for giving recommendations about useful content.

One of the most interesting parts of RevReponse is their Ad Wizard. This feature generates code to promote products in a wide variety of ways: basic text links, widgets and banners, and even paragraphs written for blog posts. We tried it out for the “Internet” niche, and here’s the paragraph it came up with.

“Download Hundreds of Complimentary Industry Resources

Get hundreds of popular Industry magazines, white papers, webinars, podcasts, and more; all available at no cost to you. With more than 600 complimentary offers, you\’ll find plenty of titles to suit your professional interests and needs. Click Here and Sign up today!”

Not necessarily anything remarkable, but it brings up another possibility. Using the Ad Wizard, I’m sure it would be more than possible to create an entire website promoting these free products. Internet marketers may immediately recognize the scheme. To innocent visitors looking for some more information about finance or health care, though, the site would certainly be appealing.

There’s a $1.50 minimum payout for each download or subscription secured through RevResponse. However, few companies seem to be paying out the bare minimum. There’s a reasonable $50 minimum payout, and payments are sent monthly through Paypal or a check.

One drawback I see is that RevReponse has a moderate delay on payments through check. Though they pay monthly, payments are sent for money earned 45 days ago. Blogging Addiction hasn’t reached the payout threshould yet, so I don’t know if there’s a waiting period for earnings sent through Paypal.

RevResponse allows it affiliates to give away a variety of free content related to their audience. They’ve an extremely wide variety of topics, with many offers in the Internet marketing niche such as a free subscription to Website Magazine or a free copy of the 12 SEO Campaign Killers guide.

I haven’t played around with RevResponse as much as I’d like, but there are a couple things I think I’ll really like, in addition to the fact that it’s not as spammy as other methods of monetization. The most powerful thing about this program is that the content is completely free. It’s easy to find people willing to accept free, quality content. Does it get any better than getting paid to give away free stuff? I assume businesses offer these free giveaways in order to draw attention to their other commercial products.

Another benefit with RevResponse is the minimal work required to start earning money. A well-indexed page receiving a moderate amount of search engine traffic could earn commissions several months after the initial post was made.

RevResponse also offers an impressive affiliate program. Referrers are paid a commission equal to 20% of the new members’ earnings for the first six months. With that in mind, if you decide to join RevResponse, we’d love to have you join through one of the links in this post.

If you’ve also tried out RevResponse, let us know how you feel about there program, and make sure you cash in on their $50 promotion offer that ends tomorrow.
