Definitely give it a try. I love Netflix and have been a subscriber since the inception of the company. But, I have to say, my husband and I watch a movie every night, instead of television. For us, Netflix is more cost effective because we utilize it so frequently. I posted an article today about how much I love Netflix.

So, If you’re still not sure, this article may help you decide.

I’ve got to say I love Netflix. For several years now my wife and I have used Netflix in lieu of cable TV.

One feature to consider is their “Play it now” option. If you have internet at home they have a big selection of movies that you can stream to your computer or TV (with an Xbox or Roku box) in addition to whatever movies you’re getting through the mail.

This is a great feature for watching older movies or favorites. We love old film noir flicks and the classics and the Netflix selection (streaming and via mail) is way better than most brick and mortar stores.

Also, I like that Netflix is low pressure. If you don’t like something, you haven’t paid any more for it and can send it back or stop streaming. (“Robin Hood Prince of Thieves” on play it now was a bad choice.)

So your affiliate links to Amazon and Aweber in your ebook as part of the content don’t bother you?

Or the links in blog posts such as:
erica.biz/2009/why-entrepreneurs-fail/
erica.biz/2009/cash-back-rewards-credit-cards/
erica.biz/go/creditcards/
erica.biz/2009/web-site-copywriting-secrets/

Don’t your own affiliate links bother you?

That pot and kettle argument seems to be coming into play.

Hi Ron,

I say this because of the links in your posts. Every linked word jumps out as “bold” when I read–just the way I read, I suppose. And your links are mostly either to your other blog posts (which I don’t mind) or are affiliate links. It’s the pervasive affiliate links as part of the content that bothers me.

I love Netflix & I love I that I can find them in my mailbox & return them with such ease~right back in the mailbox!! My dh & I have 2 Netflix accounts…one for his “blue ray” DVD’s & mine is for standard DVD’s….we both have the $8.99 plan. (His is actually $1 more for the Blue Ray discs). We spend the same amount of money (total of BOTH accts.) for unlimited DVD’s as we would if we went to the movies. So for us, we see it as a real bargain.

My husband is retired, so obviously, he is getting much more use than his WORKING WIFE!! Between the 2 of us, we end up with about 8-12 movies a month. The Netflix hub for our area is one mailing day away..so if we get a movie on Monday afternoon, watch it Monday evening, put it in Tuesday’s mail, we have a new movie by Wednesday.

I have also exercised the unlimited “option” of “putting my account on hold” when we travel or are going to be too busy to watch movies. I may be wrong on this, but I believe your fees are also suspended at the same time.

Even if you rent a movie @ a local store & have to return it, you are paying the cost of gas & your time to do so. In our busy life…it is an area where we feel we are saving money & time…

I say go for it ….try it..you’ll love it!!
