The trial and then conver to 40/month will always be pretty dominant...

5 bucks a month time 24 months is 120 bucks... the same time as 3 months at 40.


So lets say your average user at 40 is 3 months (a decent amount cancell, but this includes the people who forgot to cancell and rebilled for a while)

thats 120 per user

now lets say your average 5 buck paysite lasts 2 YEARS....thats 120. and it takes you 2 years to get that money....



and thats not even mentioning the upsells of 40/month sites that some people forget to cancell.

I think over time given a option between $5 and $40 a surfer would pay $5 especially if the $5 site had 100X the content in it.

A name brand has this ability the market forces will drive teh price of paysites down and the offering of more and more content for less and less.
