paysite question - GoFuckYourself.com

Darkystar · 05-17-2002, 12:25 PM

On my paysite I have two pricing options:
$19.95 - 1 month membership recurs at $19.95 monthly
and
$39.95 - 2 months membership non recurring
---
the thing is that i get more than 50% of 2 month sales
looks kinda odd to me but what do you think
do they buy 2 months membership because they are scared of recurring charges or they simply like the site and get 2 months membership right away?
In my opinion they are afraid of recurring fees. What's your opinion?

Why not try two months at $34.95 recurring?

Darkystar · 05-17-2002, 12:47 PM

vidsweb sorry i can't disclose the site url it's not public right now..
Wizzo thank you I'll try that - but if I guess right I'll lose some sales. But I don't know until I try

Okay so your customers just show up magically eh?

eroswebmaster I wonder how did you guess? You must be very smart

put the 34.95 recur in addition to the 39.95 non recur.

(giving them a bit of a price break - people may take the cheaper option - then again they may be too lazy to cancel it and you will make more than you otherwise would have under 39 - thus increasing life time value and your affiliate payouts

Yeah. Once people find out about that site, it should really go gangbusters. So, the answer to his question would seem to be that no one can draw any firm conclusions until his site is open to other than ghost surfers.

My take on it would be people are showing they prefer the non-recurring option. Try upping it to $44.95 and see how that affects sales...

Darkystar · 05-17-2002, 09:46 PM

I have put trial for about 12 hours...but still I was getting 2 months subscriptions

Now I got rid of that trial and I have tried to put $34.95 recurring option you have suggested me here but Globill doesnt allow that

They say it will increase chargeback ratio.
as for paysite in question - it has really a lot of pics, not many video as I haven't put everything online yet and before members join they see every set I have in thumbnails and preview video so they know what they get.
