The Truth about Online Rebate Processing
70We have all seen the ads on the internet for this opportunity and, admit it, we have all been intrigued by the sales pitch. Well, I coughed up the $197.00 for the program and I am going to tell you exactly how misleading this opportunity really is.
Keep in mind that it is the advertisement that is misleading, not the actual program. When you read the ads on the webpages, the advertisements lead you to believe that you will be processing rebates for large companies. We all understand the concept of rebates.
For example, customer A purchases a printer cartridge with a $5.00 manufacturer's rebate. Customer A sends the rebate form and receipt to the company and several weeks later, receives a check for $5.00 in the mail. That is a rebate. Therefore, a person interested in the Rebate Processor opportunity would think that is what the position involved and that is a very logical assumption.
However, the scenario that was just presented has absolutely nothing to do with the Online Rebate Processor opportunity. The actual opportunity consists of placing ads on the internet using affiliate programs and offering customers a rebate (from your potential earnings) as an enticement to purchase the product. In essence, you need to make a sale in order to process a rebate.
Basically, the program is just another offshoot of affiliate marketing, which is totally legitimate and many people earn money from affiliate marketing. But, many people are scared away from affiliate marketing because of the term "marketing", so some slick person decided to repackage affiliate marketing as "rebate processing", and so people read the advertisement or website and think "wow, how easy, I will be working for large companies processing their rebates." Wrong. In order to succeed as a rebate processor you still need to market and sell products. In fact, the companies that actually process rebates for companies like Hewlett Packard and Dell Computers state that they have never heard of a rebate processing company outsourcing its work to home workers.
The educational materials in the program are totally geared to teach you how to market affiliate products, and the manuals do include sound advice about how to market affiliate products. However, affiliate marketing is not rebate processing. The Rebate Processing opportunity is completely misleading and aimed at tricking people out of $197.00 because people think that they will be working for a large company processing rebates. Again, the way the program works is you have to sell a product before you can process a rebate. Also, you provide the rebate out of your own money. There is nothing in the pre-sales literature that tells you about the marketing aspect of the program and that is what is misleading.
Understandably, I was quite upset when I found this out and it is exceedingly difficult to get a refund from these companies. Therefore, it is my hope that you will read this article and not make the same mistake that I did.
