Limited Trial members areas with instant upgrade links that converted at 60% 80%+ 2 years ago are looking at 35% to 55% now. These are ones that I have seen the stats on and have helped with, so I'm not pulling shit out of my ass.

Doc, I think you are working off either old ass numbers, or fetish/solo sites that tend to do less volume but retain longer.
Over the limit declines have gone up, but it isn't like they're 20% or something. If you have a merchant account, we can recapture some of those as well.

DukeDollars and Topbucks both do the numbers I stated. Not every site, but the sites that matter do.

Trial upgrades is a art... with several special tricks you can do to increase upgrades, depending on the processor. I was the first paysite to setup a trial members area and run the upgrade plus this way. I've setup/helped countless, literally hundreds of paysites on trial upgrades. I still have to warn people about being too aggressive (I don't run them this hard, but 40% is nothing for me to reach), it is possible to break 65% but not without complaints. And Today, literally today... I'm setting up 2 programs with trial upgrades.

If you need help... drop me an email, my info is below.
