Pros and Cons for paysite trials

[bart666]

If you feel that your tour would convince a surfer to join the site at full price, then that's the way to go. But if you feel that a cheap trial would convince a surfer to join & then the members area would convince them to stay, try out the trials.

Well I'm already converting at full price (1:293 over the last month, all affiliates' mean) but I've seen on your stats that some paysites convert 1:63 for trials, and this for LL!.

Greenie, If I PM you a login, could you tell me what YOU would try first? There are so much possibilities, I would prefer not to test them all...
Thanks!

I'm doing my stats right now & there's one site that has a $1 trial that I'm 0:19,000 for the last 3 months. You're going to see every end of the spectrum if you look at my stats.

Then there's the overall money per member that you have to look at. Sure, a trial may convert better, but it's less money & if they cancel before they rebill, you've lost money.

Nah, I'm not the one to ask about that - I'm more of a tour kinda guy

Why wouldn't you want to test them all? Only one way to know for sure. You could get a hundred opinions here, they are just that. What works for one person, might not work for another. Only testing will tell you for sure. Real testing, not, hey looks like this works.

I wish more affiliate programs tested.
