So what's it all about?
You simply give away free magazine subscriptions, podcasts and white papers relevant to your particular blog or website niche. To help you to do this, along with ads and widgets, you also get a free co-branded site.
Here's my site as an example. It's possible to fiddle and adjust things but I've left mine, so far, exactly as provided.
If you want the official details, this is how RevResponse describes it:
"With NetLine’s RevResponse, you’re in the position to give your audience valuable content completely free of charge AND get paid for doing so. As you know all too well, this is practically unheard of. Your users see the value and sign up for the free content, and we pay you a commission on every qualified subscription or download request - including requests from your international audience. Find another network that pays you to give away professional content and resources."
What can you earn?
Money is paid on free subscriptions again, to quote RevResponse: 'We'll guarantee you a $1.50 minimum on every qualified subscription/request.' It could be more. Typical payments I read are $2 to $20.
There is also money to be made by referring others into the program. For referrals you make 20% of what the people you introduce earn for the first six months of them joining.
Payments are made to affiliates either by check or PayPal.
What sort of publications are on offer?
There are about 600 different offers including business and trade magazines, podcasts and white papers. A couple of better known mags I spotted were eWeek, The Economist and BusinessWeek.
There are about 30 categories of free offers including: IT, Internet, Sales & Marketing, Small and Medium Business, Information Technology, Computers, Finance, Multimedia Network / Communications and so on.
Promotional stuff?
Here's a typical text ad:

There are also widgets in several sizes, as per top right of this post, plus adverts. You choose the category of content.
Will it make money?
I've got to be honest. I don't know because, as I have already said, I have only just joined. There does seem to be potential - everyone wants something for free - and if you can see magazines etc. that are relevant to your niche then perhaps it could prove profitable.
Got to be worth a look!
Good luck,
Mike.
