“Netflix‘s Tuesday announcement of a rate hike on it’s services has caused a customer backlash. Many customers have left around sixty thousand comments on the blog and also on Facebook. @Netflix Twitter has also seen a flood of tweets in response to the price changes.”~Technorati

Oh Netflix what were you thinking, Netflix several months ago went on a marketing blitz promoting a month free of Netflix and then a really great price for streaming video (yay the kids could use the Wii and watch elsewhere in the house) and dvd’s by mail. They hooked me, I cancelled HBO and Starz and starting watching hit movies on my computer. I was happy and saving money, then the first price hike came soon after, it was still cheaper so I thought nothing of it. And now just this week they are hiking the price significantly again. It’s cheaper than HBO but then again HBO doesn’t raise their prices every 3 months so perhaps I may go back.

This is what happens when a good thing changes to greed. Teeheehee we sucked them in now lets wring out all we can from our customers. I see this more and more, Hulu used to be all free, then they started charging for Hulu Premium. I hope that Netflix reads all the posts all over social media sites about their price hike, if they don’t I predict they will be regretting their decisions, there is always somebody out there ready to take up the dropouts and make it better.

Oh sure you’ve seen others tell you this but listen to me I have the real secret, and guess what I’m not going to charge a penny, there are way to many already making money I’m rolling it why should I charge for it *

Ok are you ready here is the ultra big secret:

1. First content, to give a ultra big secret thing for large amounts of money your page must go on for at least the length of a roll of toilet paper. You must use boxes, bold, exclamation points, pictures of happy people on beaches and no where do you mention price. Offer a buy now button over and over but never say the price on the first page.

2. You must have people touting how great your product is, pictures of people (again on beaches and in sports cars) saying how much better their life is because of your super product. Never ever put real name or real people, that’s just plain silly.

3. Make your readers feel silly for not buying your super secret, guilt them, why wouldn’t they want this? This will change their life, they will be on beaches, in sports cars, be the envy of all, kittens will follow on their heels because you will be just that cool.

4. The big secret here it is, shhhhhh, you can’t really make money blogging but you can make money telling people they can and then go on and on about selling other people’s products on your site. So put together your package of snake oil, dress it up in a really really long winded, one page site (not counting the hugely priced buy now page). Then charge the big bucks, if you sell it too cheap how good can it be, right? But WAIT THERE’s MORE (you have to say that) offer a FREE ebook about something silly too, that free stuff gets people too.

So do you feel enlightened? Cool! Can I use your picture and then Photoshop you into a sports car

*This post was written purely in fun and if it resembles any sites you’ve been on before well gee they must have heard about my SUPER secret, I need to go make a Buy Now button.
