Someone way back was asking what to do about a site similar in name to this... I have no idea, it may have been this site. But it was just an affiliate type of site and I had mentioned why not actually contact programs and offer your surfers a true discount.
Trials/discounts... rebills, (never, never add non-recurring option) is where the money is.

Many, many, MANY people simply will not purchase a recurring Membership - PERIOD. They won't buy a trial, they won't buy a recurring Membership. So what about those customers? Forget about them? No - offer a one-time only subscription.
And make that subscription price THREE TIMES (or twice) the price of the recurring? Maybe - depending on your site (frequency of updates, content, bonus material, etc). But even
then, many many people simply will not pay $70 for a 3 month porn Membership (or can't afford to).
In terms of total revenue I will match my company's performance against any similar-sized company's "rebills-only" business model. Especially these days, where the average rebill is 2-3 months and many surfers choose the lower-priced rebill option only to turn around and cancel 3 minutes after signing up.
But hey, differant strokes for differant folks. But offering discounts via email marketing, or a seasonal 'special', is far, far differant than lowering your prices and offering consistent discounts. ESPECIALLY if you have business partners (the pie is only so big) let alone affiliates. Sorry, not convinced.

I do hope you can stop with your insults. You can buy the site for 6 figures and shut it down if you can't live with it.
I wish you all the best.

If your site is worth six figures then I'm the Queen of China. LOL
But okay, no more insults. I don't wish you all the best tho (in tems of business). Two years from now you'll be on here trying to sell porn memberships for $1 (not trials, either).
