I joined this membership site run by Matt and Brad Callen called Niche Revolution back when it was started in September 2006. Since I was among the first ones to join, I would be a charter member. At that time the membership price was $97 per month. Yesterday, I looked at the salesletter and order link and found out that the price has dropped to $47 per month. Normally, charter members get a better deal than others who join later. But in this case, you actually get ripped off as a charter member.

I posted a question in the members’ forum regarding this issue wondering if I’m the only one who’s paying $97 per month. A couple of people replied to my post and they were in the same situation. So I asked Matt if we could be switched to the lower membership fee. I got a private message back that they were “testing” different prices and I’m stuck with the price I joined with. How’s that for treating your customers like crap?

Conveniently, my entire message thread in the forum was also deleted. So guess who’s going to cancel his membership? What do they gain by not offering me the lower price? I would have stayed on as a member indefinitely if they honored the $47 per month price. So instead of making $47 x 12 = $564 per year from me, they’re going to make $0. Go figure.

Buyer beware! I induct NicheRevolution into the Marketing Tools Review Hall of Shame. Shame on you!
