Sorry to lump you in with the masses. That wasn't my intention. I'm just frustrated at what I see happening around me. My apologies for any disrespect to you.
On a marketing note...trial memberships do have their place. Quite frankly, I never promoted trials very much. And I have had tremendous sucess over the years as an affiliate. Looking at my stats remote for affiliate sales over the last 5 years I netted $3,428,974.76 all revshare and 90% without trial memberships.
And to come at it from the paysite side....Claudia-Marie.Com is my main paysite. $34.99 recurring, $74.99 for 90 days non-recurring. No trials offered at all. Sales have been phenomenal since day one, and with the new tube tour I just put in 3 days ago we are blasting through the roof with it.
Having said that...I have had many, many other program owners tell me that I am missing out on a lot of money by not offering a trial or "limited access" trial membership. So I may be missing the boat on the whole trial concept.
I am going to start offering a $10 for 5 days non-recurring membership for my type in traffic only (which FAR exceeds affiliate traffic in numbers and sales). Sort of an experiment in micro memberships as opposed to trials.
I have already saw that I can offer VOD on my site and people will pay $10 to download a single scene. That one person ends up spending hundreds of dollars to download scenes at ten bucks a pop when he could have had all of it for $34.99. It's just a different marketing approach and some folks just prefer to do it that way.
So my thought on the $10/5 day non recurring membership is the same. Each one has the potential to be a $60 a month sale.
Just some marketing thoughts...
