The Curmudgeonly Trainer

Rarely is there a reputable company that can add value to learners, trainers and website owners in a professional way. Revresponse is just such a company.

Many major companies, like IBM and Microsoft produce publications designed to educate their customers, and prospective customers, and to inform about their products. Other lesser known companies do this also, and there are also publishers who produce niche trade magazines for very specific professions. The former wants exposure, and the latter wants targeted subscribers since their revenue comes from advertisers.

RevResponse acts as a clearinghouse for hundreds of offers from these companies and publishers. All offers - magazines, ebook or reports, or webinars are FREE. No Catch. You don’t need to provide a credit card or any other financial information to receive what you desire. You simply have to qualify (fit into the demographics the company requires).

Unlike other “free” magazine companies, there is no catch.

For Learners and Professionals:

RevResponse is a great source of professionally targeted material to help learners and professionals keep up with the developments in their trade or profession. Want to know what’s new in meeting management? It’s there. Want to see what’s happening in plumbing? It’s there too. There’s resources for Chief Financial Officers, IT personnel, executives, small business owners, and on and on. And It’s all free.

For Trainers:

The materials provided through RevResponse are ideal if you are doing research on a subject that requires great expertise as part of the instructional design process. There’s more though. Periodically whitepapers or magazines are made available applicable to trainers. For example, Chief Learning Officer is usually available, and there have been whitepapers on various aspects of e-learning that would be indispensible if you are exploring that possibility for your company.

For Website Owners:

Website owners, particularly those with visitors from professional fields, are always looking for opportunities to provide value to visitors while adding to their revenue streams. Here’s the deal for websites. If you promote RevResponse offers, you receive a fee for every subscription that is accepted that has been referred from you websites. Could be as low as $1.50 per signup. Could be a lot higher.

What’s great is that you promote professional offers, not scam offers. In addition RevResponse offers tools to help you choose just the offers you want to promote, and how you want the promotional material to look. So you can have anything from a simple text link to a more sophisticated interface that allows visitors to scroll through offers.

If you are interested in joining their program as a webmaster, click here. You won’t regret it. We use them, and it’s been profitable to us, and we haven’t alienated our professional audiences.

In short, we very rarely recommend companies of this type because it’s rare that we find one that is reputable, dependable, honest, and fits in with the needs of professionals. We recommend this company.
