actually, that approach worked well for many big sites, but that was back a few years, and playing the numbers game of having crazy amount of traffic and hoping the surfer forgets to cancel and keeps rebilling while the forget, etc, etc.
These days, surfers are getting a lot more educated.
"3 day trials" I think are a good idea in general, but so many allow full access to the entire site for those 3 days, so the mentality is suck it dry and cancel.
Affiliates who are promoting sites that don't pay on a free 3 day join are getting screwed as the conversion ratios from 3 day trial to paid are pretty sad.
I have seen some programs go with a limited trial.. where you get some access but not all.. I think that's a great idea...
You can create a "trial" member area.. that the CC signup system manages.. where you load up what they can see and update it. then when they want to join for the full membership, the CC signup system then sets them up on the "full" membership area.
I have seen some people sell membership fees to what is essentially a collection of FHG gathered from all the paysites.... or was that the AVS model ;)
Fight the separate and not equal!
