on the join page, I tell them that they can get a 9.95 three day trial and a 19.95 monthly option. But once they get to the "actual" CCbill page, they'll only see the 19.95 option. I figure if I already got them committed to the ccbill page, they should just say "fuck it" and go ahead and pay for the monthly...

When I DIDN'T mention a trial on my join page after I took off my trial, sales went down a little..but now they're back to being ok....

9.95 for a 3 day trial and renews at 29.95

or

29.95 for a 30 day trial and renews at 29.95

:)


I may change that to

16.95 for a 7 day trial with month renewing to 29.95

and

29.95 for the first month and 24.95 each month thereafter.

BTW, your site and tour pages kick ass. Great design and content (from what I can see). Rock on!

People who sign up for trials usually cancel right away.

If $3.95-$7.95 is all you can afford for porn, your life is in a sad state and you watch every nickle and dime.

I would rather wait until the person can't resist spending the full amount for at least a month's fee.

Every once in a while, I'll put trials in so people nervous about paying full freight can see how good the inside of the site really is. I'm confident surfers will like the inside because we have the niche leaders, but I usually do not offer trials because I also feel the sites are more than worth the price. Plus, that way I don't get the on again/off again rejoin thing going on. Trials definitely bring in the bandwidth hogs though.

I'd recommend you test both with different front ends. We've never used trials of any kind and found that works better for us, but then we let the surfer see the members section before they buy.

I don't understand Interlude -- what do you mean they see the members section before they buy?

Included in the tour:

Basically lets the surfer see every thumbnail, every movie preview, but none of the "goods."

Some Jager will give you a shot at having your way with me for a few days.
