FTL has a new advertiser with somewhat unusual arrangement. They are paying us for people that fill out their online form for inspections for their basements. You won’t believe how affordable a dry useable basement can be and FTL gets $50 for everyone that fills out the online form at basement.freetalklive.com (http://basement.freetalklive.com). $500 off, a lifetime warranty and a free waterwatch alarm; Just go to basement.freetalklive.com (http://basement.freetalklive.com) click free inspection and estimate in the upper right hand corner fill out the online form and earn FTL $50!

I don't feel like this is desperate. You might, that is your business, but $50 for someone filling out a web form. I have never heard of a per inquiry deal like that before. To seal the deal they sent a check for $4250. They appear to be a great organization.
If you have a basement, I hope you will fill out the form and see what these kind folks can do to make your life better.

Won't the inspectors object to all the dead and dying bodies I have hanging about in my basement?
-
oh so you shouldn't just fill it out if you don't have a basement?

I bet the first question is "do you has basement?????"

I'd like to earn them $50 but I don't own a basement.

Looks like they provide a valuable service, that is very good but likely not a need for many at any one time.
As much as I would like to support FTL in this particular promotion, I expect they will not appreciate knowing my basement is completely finished, structurally sound, and that I have no intention of purchasing their services. Do you think I could let them know not to waste their time and just give FTL 50 notes instead? I certainly hope "they" proposed this agreement as "they" will certainly do the footwork.
Recommending this first and foremost to those that need work on their basements would provide real and consistant leads. I am confident the 50 notes FTL recieves is well worth "my" investment, but not theirs.

It's the norm in web advertising. Most make payout triggered on some action. Nobody gets paid (for instance) on Google ads for Netflix unless someone actually signs up for NetFlix. The trigger can be different for each business.

Would they give ya $25 for a crawlspace with a sump pump? Cause I got one of those..

so Mark hasn't answered here. Maybe it's because he can't say for me to fill it out even though I don't have a basement but he'll get credit anyways. He wouldn't knowingly send someone to an advertiser who can't possibly use the item just to get the credit.
So, if this is true Mark, just don't say anything and I'll wink wink go fill it out.
