I'm looking for Advice

I think that is the hardest part of all, the second guessing when you first put something out there. It is extremely hard not to be checking stats every ten minutes or so to see but in all honesty, you do need to give it time to generate a history of some sort that will make practicle sense.

Being so new, SE traffic won't have kicked in. The sandbox on Google is good for several months at least if not longer, but it also will depend on the keywords being pushed.

I'd be looking at the tour long before I looked at price points at this time. But that's me.

Do you like the tour? NB Nobody wants to hear that their baby is ugly but at the same time if you see something you are like 'WTF' then please let me know......

Ok now I just feel kinda dumb [not unusual feeling these days believe me]

Someone I respect & trust from this board emailed me and asked what my membership level was since we opened.....usually obviously I wouldn't have shared but in this case I did and I was truthful......

His reply:

"OMG and you think you have problems??? Dude your site is kicking ass!!!!!"

On that note I'm going to go off and take a chill pill, relax, and stop worrying about what I should or shouldn't be doing differently.

BTW if you own a TGP and want new galleries with fresh content email me with whatever I need to login and submit to you and I'll gadly build and send them the way you like them

Thanks all, this was interesting.....

We had a fairly lengthy discussion a few months back about this issue with Workin' Men Movies. Several of us were selling a lot of trials for him, but few were converting to sales. A part of it was because his movies are small, but a big part of it is that surfers just know they can sign up for a trial, get everythign they want and leave.

When WMM killed the trials my sales went up and so did my rebills.

I suspect the same will happen with you.

I think one of the things your site has going against you right now is that it's new and the content levels aren't where they need to be to pull in conversions from a trial. I know you're working like mad and updating, but I suspect a surfer will come in on a trial and burn through it all pretty quickly.

I think one of the things that you have go for you in a big way is that you're building a community not just a porn site and your niche is so specific and underserviced. You shouldn't need a trial to entice them in because if a surfer is into armpits where else is he going to go. It's like Workin' Men Movies, if you're into scruffy, rednecks, WMM is it. So take advantage of that and make them pay the $24.95. Your concept and content are good enough to stand on their own merits.

Personally, I hate trials. The think the only people who win with trials are the surfer, who gets lots of porn for nothing, and the site, who gets a lot of traffic. The referring webmaster gets screwed on trials unless there's a $30 PPS, and even then there are shaving issues.

I'd dump the trial for now. Down the road, I might open up a trial, but only give them access to limited amounts of content and give them a glass wall to see what they're missing on the other side.

He is VERY right trials are a totally waist and just promote calculations regardless of what you offer them. I might also suggest offering more the 1 price a higher one for affiliates so both you and them can make more and a lower price for your own traffic.
