Im confused.... How do they do it?

Im confused with how trainn can be pulling off sending out ipods for only 5 referals along with other sites. People do offers such Video Profesor where video profesor only pays $25 a signup. $25 + $125 in referals is only $150. I mean I have no problems with this but how can they be pulling this off? Ive been around a while and have never checked into it.

Bulk orders must be cheaper..

They bet that most people won't be completing the site, but doing offers, so they rely on those people.

True...Very true...now i understand

I don't think their bulk orders are cheaper. The receipt that came with my nano ordered by trainn said that it totalled a little over $260.

They get paid mass amounts my their advertisers, think about it. If someone decides to use Ultima Patch, the company gets +$125.

ya and most companys pay trainn anywhere from 20-40 dollars per ref

basically they hope people dont finish the site

Nooo, I talked to "someone" about this. The offers pay more like 70-90 a piece. If everyone finished the site, they'd most likely still come close to breaking even.

Wow! Never knew that they got paid that much!

you guys all got it wrong, besides goofygarber. mroe + karma for him!!!

lol...

it's like timesharing adveritizng... You go to florida, they ask you to take a tour of a resort, and in return u get a couple free nights in a hotel. the reason why u get the free nights is cuz the resort that you tour gives the hotel like $500 cuz they think that people might buy a room or time share or whatever at their resort.

simple as that, except its with sites and free stuff.
the companys give companys like train $80-$100 every time an offer gets completed. for advertizing (popularity growth + the trial that the company could make lotsa $ if the customer forgets to cancel)

as easy as that...

Do you even know how much Blockbuster gets paid? More than 75% people who try it, stick with it since it is such a great service.

I can't believe someone with 77 TR would ask this though X

You got it wrong. I used to talk to many site owners, typical offers such as Aol, Blockbuster, Stamps.com pay about $20-$40. Thats a direct quote from many site owners.

Yeah there's no way that small, simple offers like Blockbuster and Video Professor pay up to $100 per every offer completion.

Maybe you are thinking of casino/poker offers, but not regular ones.

gratis said they get paid $80-$100 per offer in an interview....

Yeah, I heard that too ^
It was on their old site, before it got all colorful and stupid.

It's a pyramid scheme. One that works, but a pyramid scheme nonetheless.

It costs these companies more in the beginning, but once the base of their pyramid starts getting big it's more and more profit. Even in the middle of the pyramid, they're still making money on the people that do an offer and maybe refer a couple people, but never complete the site.

also, you've got to remember that companies like OC that put people on hold for random reasons make a killing!

That's another way they make some extra cash. Although, I don't think I've heard of one incident of anyone getting put on hold for a TRAINN site. wink

yay!

I hate when newbs try to tell us we are wrong..

They are payed 20-50 dollars for each person who signs up. They lose money when they ship out gifts.

I love it.... Entertains me.... but heres the video profesor affiliate page
