Okay, first they ask you to discount by 50% on your rate and then they offer you at most 65% of that. So, if you rate is $100, you discount to $50 and then they give you $32.50. Really. That's 32.5c on the dollar. You could just put out a special offer for half price on Facebook and still make more money with it. Yes, they have a large mailing list.... but is it worth losing that much?
There is a good reason that this websites are dying. It's the Entertainment book, but you have to prepay for the discount.... and then leave it on your books forever!.

And 100% of the $67.50 you give up comes out of your own pocket, because all your expenses, utilities, insurance, mortgage, supplies, are still charging you 100% of their regular rate. The discount all comes out of your profit.
You'd need to be routinely keeping about 3/4 of your gross income as clear profit for this deal to benefit you.
Of course, the hope is that you're creating repeat customers who will pay full rate next time, but this type of customer doesn't come back unless you offer deep discounts every time!
