    whats a good trial to rebill conversion rate?

    i havent been doing this for some years now, but ive been picking up on a few paysites lately, and would like to know what the going rate is now?

    Mine is 72.31% - but only based on 47 members...so it might be to early for the numbers to be valid.

        Paysites that get updated often see 30%...

        Some sites still doing 35-40% but that is pretty rare.

              That is trial memberships that convert to full month memberships.

                then i can expect the rate to drop a bit i guess?

                Would you think that 47 members is enough for the numbers to be valid?
                Actually thats 65trials converted to 47 rebills...

                  depends somewhat on your conversion price but not very much... 20-40% is average. I would say paid trials to 30-40% and free trials 20-30%.

                  47 probably isn't enough to get an accurate estimate -- you will know after about 500-1000 sales.

                    I guess this is also a question of prices, right?
                    This site is at $2.95/39.95...I wonder if it would be even higher if i lowered the rebill price a bit..

                    ok - thanks for the input, im only getting a few new members/day, so it will take me ages to get accurate numbers i guess

                    anyway, thanks guys - you answered my question

                      30% it is very good.
                      40% - you have very original content and niche members.

                        2,95/39,95 is a big difference ;)
                        i'm on 4,95 / 19,95 ..works great for me

                        30-40% is average

                          my content isnt original or exclusive at all - so I guess that Im just lucky here...or perhaps it will drop significantly when i get more members.

                            how long have your site(s) been online?
                            SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                              the site in question has been online for a while, but the first members came in a few months ago...so, I dont really have any second month retention rate stats on the members.

                                I do 4.95 / 39.95 and it converted only a little less than 19.95 conversions when I tried them. 19.95 would have to convert twice as well for it to be the same amount of money. even $1 makes a huge difference in money when you're talking about thousand of members..

                                So what if you are at 50% with 19.95 when you could be at 30% with twice the $.. that's all I was thinking.. I guess you could argue that the 19.95 members might retain more but again they'd have to retain twice as long as 39.95 for it to be worth it to charge less.. but then again you might get more joins on the front end

                                man.. this numbers game..

                                  65 trials isn't enough to really test it.. I have weeks where the numbers are amazing and then the next week they look like shit.

                                  I give myself 3 months of joins daily to be able really test the numbers.

                                  I'm sure it will drop, very very few people hold that high of a trial to convert these days. Most are lucky to hit 35% these days.

                                  Super niches seem to do better though with trial to converts. Good cartoon, trany, etc.. type sites that update normally have good trial to conversion because they are rare and hard to find good sites with those niches for the people looking for it.
