I talk to a lot of people wanting to setup new paysites and pretty much all of them tell me that they want to offer trials in order to get the PPS webmasters promoting their site when it launches.

The problem is, these people dont realize there is a difference between running a PPS site and a revshare site, in that PPS sites, typically speaking, are looking for traffic that they can trade to THEIR sponsors, rather than traffic that will join their site and make them recurring revenues.

Many programs offer $2.95 trials is also something else i hear a lot, these new site owners think that programs like ARS and TopBucks are making millions each year because they offer trials and their members areas retain..

Whilst some surfers will retain, the vast majority of trial membership joins cancell before the end of the trial, which is why many PPS sponsors load their members areas with feeds and not actual 'hosted' content, in addition to being packed with upsells, like the SicCash sites are, even before you hit the actual 'members' area.

The problem is though, even after explaining this to these want to be, new site owners, they just dont listen and find out relatively quickly that things how they think they should be working, isnt how things work.

Also, the same is true for new program owners wanting to keep their members areas clean, uncluttered and minimalistic, the problem is however that by designing a members area that way, the new member doesnt get a chance to see the FULL selection of content available so the sites appear to be void of content, even if its all there, but arranged 'nicely'.

Members of paysites want to see a 'busy' members area, they want to see as much as possible, as quickly as possible and for most, this means loading up the main index page inside the members area so that there is more content being displayed on it than the owner would want... Ive told several people this over the years and perhaps only 2 or 3 have actually listened to what i told them and implemented the changes... Only to notice their rebills and hold times increase, while those not implementing the changes, keep wondering why their site doesnt retain.. Even though they have thousands of pics, movies, etc, even exclusive content.
