I just read an
article about the online porn industry. We all know it is harder today than it was 2-3 years ago. One thing I always wonder about it recurring programs offering trial memberships.
Personally, I prefer recurring programs to only offer full membership subscriptions. Trials are ok for per sign ups, since they normally are very aggressive with upsells, and sponsors of their own(console ads). Oddly, there are only a handful of sites that do this, with Blacks On Blondes being the most well known of them.
Why aren't more sites doing this? With broadband, I can burn thru most members areas in 2-3 days, if I really want to. I am sure many surfers can do it in one weekend marthon whack-off session. So, why the fuck are sites letting them in for $5 instead of $20-$30?
I would like to hear some opinions/facts/replies from 3rd party billing reps, paysite operators, and yes, even other free site/SE/TGP webmasters. What do you think, and why?
