Get Rid of Trial Offers?

[worldofmen]

Ok, so the next thing I am going to ask about is should I get rid of trial offers?

Yes, our trial offer is tied to a recurring membership, but is the bait and switch good?

I have noticed a few people, not a whole lot, buy the membership and then cancel within the allotted time as not to be rebilled. Are they trying to see if I have DRM and if they can steal all my content for $3.95?

To keep or not to keep trials?

$0.02 for your thoughts!

what a strange poll - really its up to you to decide. Personally I would try with and without trials (as I have done for my own sites) and go with the outcome I like best.

HunkMoneyLuke is absolutely right. Try both and see what works better for you.

It depends on how much the trial membership is for ultimately.

Personally id never promote a revshare based program that had a $5 or lower trial for 2-3 days access, instead though id opt to go with a higher trial price point, somewhere in the range of $7-$14 for a week and then rebill that trial price to a full membership.

That way, your affiliates are making more than $2 per sale and 7 days later, are roughly 85% guaranteed a rebill as long as the member doesnt cancel based on my own experiences.
