Revshare with Trials

Mr. Yum...
How do ya think that reacts on our bottom line? Obviously offering trials effects everyone's revenue income any way I look at it. I feel that content is key here and when the consumer comes into a paysite tour, likes the content, and he/she is considering purchasing, I doubt that the price at that point is a real issue. If they're interested, and are ready to pull out their credit card, I don't believe that spending $3.99 on a "tricky" 2 day trial vs $29.95 for 30 days matters. In fact, I believe that the trial pushes them to cancel their membership right away to avoid additional charges.

Other programs don't like to trade exit traffic with us either because we don't offer trials.
I wish the industry would just drop trials...they're a pain!
