Trials suck. My trial is $24.99 for the first month, $19.99 thereafter. In a way, trials devalue the site in the surfers mind. If I see a site that has free trials or $3.99 or something, I assume the content is no good.
Doesn't meant it is - just what I am thinking.
And I would say I would always think a free trial is a scam, or something I wouldn't want anyway. Why would I want a free trial? Isn't there plenty of free content in a tour and gallery pages, so why do I need to give a cc or email address.
I think in many "Joe surfer's" minds - the world of i-porn has divided into 2 camps. Free stuff, which usually sucks, and premium content, which is expensive.
I give every surfer a "free trial" in a away with some free gallery pages at the site. If they like that content, they'll buy, and I don't need a business model based on hoping people forget to cancel.
