Good for you, we just dropped checks a few days ago and so far we have noticed a slight improvement in the # of transactions. Next we are going to drop trials and just keep monthly, 3 ,6 and 12 month memberships. I would rather have less $ coming in than have our stuff out there for free.

Cindy, sounds like a great biz plan. We did the same last month -- stopped all trials (a scary tactic at first, but, after watching numbers over the last 30 days, it didn't impact us at all -- I was amazed, thinking we'd see a drop in signups).

We also stopped taking checks months ago, just on principal (sure it was only like 30% fraud, but it just burned my ass that people were so blatant, taking advantage of the delay time for verfication, slurping up bandwidth and then blowing us off after the check bounded -- fuckwads). Everyone has either a credit card OR a check debit card nowadays, let them use those.

New dictum: NO TRIALS. NO CHECKS. Rock on.
