well to be honest, i think free trails should do great. as a surfer/buyer, i am not just going to buy something that cost me 30 bucks without even looking at what its going to offer me. There are so many members area out there that have shit content inside and their best content on the tour. I don't see why you would pay 1 buck if you can test drive it for like, like with a car.
Our paid trails are doing ok, but i guess more people would be willing to test drive us if it was for free and then stay.
PLus we are offering one day free access, so there no change to download our members area. Also we stream our content in flv, only the content for download is avi. You could think they can rip that with something like free download manager. but we have scripts in place that only let you download one link at a time. you can que them but this way we are sure they can't pull the site in one time.
We do how ever put a script in place that would cut free trails members from downloading our content.
This way its kinda of a limited members area. Our content you can't even download with a harvest tool.
