After one week and several daily sales since day one I can say that I’m really happy with trials. I wonder why people keep telling that trials do not work if you have few content. My site is growing naturally. I add one episode every Thursday so I can have 150 movies after a week.
I have to say that retaining rate is around 89.4% Almost everyone rebilled. I love trials!

Trials work. They really do. Your conversions probably got better as well as there are surfers that really want to try a site before dropping $30.
trials often don’t work - usually in the long run. every client i’ve worked with made more money when they dropped their trials, but your site is exceptional and that may make a difference.
it’s really too early to determine how trials will do for you. i’d keep an eye on things for at least 3 months and then do a lot of math before deciding either way. after all, getting twice the memberships sold at $4.95 but converting 1/3 of them can still make you less money than simply selling $24.95 memberships up front. also a lot of webmasters have noted shorter overall rebills from members who start off by buying trials, and you won’t know that for a while.
I like trials. As a matter of fact when things started turning down economically I posted about trials on this board and queried as to why more people don’t have them… now they do.
Simon you have a $4.95 3 day trial… I’ve toyed around with different trial days and amounts and I can tell you that the most financially rewarding trial amounts/terms are $9.95 3 day trial and $14.95 10 day trial. I offer both simultaneously.
Keep up the good work

i was forced into trials on my porn access aen site $1 ones and i was worried since on your own site it’s revshare only but since i treat it like a real paysite and have over 111 quality scenes in the members area plus they get the whole network, i have converted 100% to full membership so far and its been months, i dont get all the longterm inside stats, but they seem to work nice if they dont get ripped of inside
In this economy especially, trials work, as long as you are promoting a quality site. Our affiliates that promote our trial tours convert much better then affiliates promoting the non-trials, and the majority of them do re-bill.
