I can tell you now, free or cheap trials dont work. I droped all my cheap trials on my sites and only use sponsors who go straight to full price, no trials. Beleive it or not I almost doubled my income overnight.

I believe the reason is this. When someone signs up for a cheap trial, the first think they look for is the cancelation. Usually before they have even seen the content. When the customer doesnt have the urgency factor there because they have already signed up for a month. They will have the chance without preasure to see if its what they like. If the site is updated everyday, they will get used to the site and want to stay, they never had that opportunity with a 3 day trial.

The second reason that you will make more not offering trials is a simple one. Price will never be a concern to someone who wants to wank over your porn. If they like what you offer and want to see more they will pay, they wont look around for a cheaper site that maybe doesnt offer what they want.

Plus also surfers distrust adult websites. A site that says we will give you all this for two bucks or even free, but we need your credit card doesnt look trustworthy, we all know you cant give that much porn for $2, so they will think maybe its a con trick. Where as a site that says, you can have all this, but its $29 looks like a real business thats offering porn at a realistic price.

Many may dispute what Im saying, but I can promise you this, if you drop the cheap or free trials and go straight to full price subscriptions, the amount of sign ups will fall a very small amount maybe, but your income will rise alot.

I have done this with every sponsor I can and all without exception has performed this way
