    Just an update.. my 7 day trial brought in a lot of subscriptions :bananacock:

    so I modified it to a 3 day trial at $9.95 renewing at $24.95 and no loss in trial subscriptions or 30 day recurring! :cheerleader:

    $34.95 for 2 months recurs @ same every two months.


    I did this a few days ago and I've gotten a lot of trials, none of which have canceled so far, and I've maintained (the recent) normal sales for monthly memberships. It works well for me.

    If homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work.

    That has got to be the worst billing model you could ever try
    Why would anyone stay a member when they know they can cancel and rejoin for $19.95

    If anything lower the rebill price

    You do realize by 'gay' I mean a man who has sex with other men?

    I guess that also holds true for trials then, why would anyone rebill from a trial when they can just cancel and join again for $1.

    Cuz people are layzy and forget they joined, then the rebill takes place, a month passes, people go to their banks to pull their account sheets, notice the debit for "something" and cancel, or they just say "nah, its not worth it" and totally forget it.

    I bill €1 trials for 3 day, then €50 for 30 days....
    :-D

    The problem with these $1 trial sales is that they have cross sales at the bottom of them, and no one bitches, well except VISA now. Apparently VISA is having a meeting next month on the cross sale issue. Which, I am for one, happy about! Every trial sale that one makes, it is a lost customer that we can't have for the rest of us. Fuck them, and I hope VISA says the same.

    I couldn't agree more.

    We have these sponsors on boards pretending to be Mr. Nice Guy to everyone while having $1 cross sells with boxes checked in advance, or completely hidden. Then they get all afraid and make posts wondering why Visa is having a meeting regarding cross sails.

    It's people like that which give the industry a bad name.

    the joy of limited trials is that members don't get full site access.

    of course, a possible advantage to going up in price if you have a site people like is that there will be less rebills and more people who come back and join again later, and the second join the program owners don't have to pay a percentage to the affiliate.
