I hope so, too. I've encouraged affiliate sponsors of mine to cut it out with the trials and many of them are indeed doing so. And it's meant more money for both of us!

For 2 of my clients in the last couple of weeks I've convinced them to drop trial memberships and instead go with those 14.95 10day/2week memberships.

And likewise sales have still been decent (dipped a bit, but the money made off greater sale amounts more than makes up for it and so revenue is up).

In all honesty, though, I'll continue to promote sponsors who give hefty flat rate payouts on trial memberships. But 50% partnership on a trial? No thanks.
