Thoughts?
Thoughts?

Any site converting 1-33 (97%) is in a very very micro niche and gets 100 surfers a week. Even in the glory days sites couldn't convert at 99%. More like 1-300 on the best sites (99.3%)

Yes the day of forcing customers to buy what we want him to buy are over. Whether you have the greatest site ever or a POS site. The customer sets the pace today.

We offer 3 day trials recurring at $2.95 and 3 day memberships at $5 and the normal monthly recurring and non recurring. The short term non recurring is the most popular. The same members come back time after time. So they seem to like what we have and they like to come back when it suits them.

A point to remember. If the "experts" in online porn had a clue. The online business wouldn't be in a slide down. It would be climbing.
