Infogoround.com - Kind Of Free But Not Exactly

I was checking over my private label content that I have tried publishing, so far it is not even breaking even.  But if you were going to buy articles and you find a service that provides the same articles you were going to buy then you can save some money.

I couldn’t remember if I said anything about inforgoround before or not? So I checked google.com  I was thinking about putting one of those search boxes on here but I almost never search this site for anything, and I have only checked Google a couple times and it seems to work ok so far, maybe later I will check into the search box.

I found this page so it looks like I did say something about signing up there:

Making Money Online: Signed Up For InfoGoRound.com

I thought I would give it some time to see how it works.  My first impression was not so great.  They advertise that you can sign up and use their service for free.  This is just not true.  They charge you $24.95 per month and you pay in advance.  Then if you write an article then will refund your $24.95 I got my first refund 2 days before my 4th payment.

Then you only get the refund if you are a current member.  So what they should say is - if you pay for 3 months then wait another month then we will refund your first month.

Then as long as you write an article we like and keep your subscription current you will continue getting refunds.  

So from the 4th month on it is free if your articles are accepted.

But anyway you look at it, your paying $75 to start and in my book that’s not free.

IGR's rebate (Cash for Content) payment schedule is posted in detail in their (public) terms and conditions.

You do not have to wait 4 months for a rebate. IGR pays rebates at the end of each month, for all "publishing periods" which *end* the prior month. Each publishing period is 30 days (they coinicide with your monthly membership billing periods). So for example, if your billing / publishing period ENDS in April (if the last day falls in the month of April) you are rebated at the end of May per the schedule.

So, unless you had an article UNpublished because it didn't meet IGR's writing requirements, or unless you didn't submit an article during your first publishing period, you wouldn't have waited 4 months for rebate.

So why is there the delay in rebates? Well, this is obviously because IGR has to have time to review each article submitted - to make sure that articles meet our requirements. This rebate schedule is simply a system which enables us to review articles being submitted in an organized way. By the way, most pl content providers charge MORE than IGR and certainly don't have *any* opportunity to obtain free membership like IGR's patent pending Cash for Content program.

ALL articles that meet IGR's posted (also public) Writing Requirements are accepted. There is no "if we like it and choose to rebate" that comes in to play. Obviously IGR *has* to have certain writing requirements and standards for the benefit of all members.

Hope this clears some of your concerns up and thanks.
