Having no trial wasn't an easy decision but I feel in the long-term no trials is the future. I know I had strong conversions from trial to rebill and I'd probally make more... $9.95 (trial) + $19.95 rebill verses $19.95 (1mth) My view now is, "We've got to teach the surfer that if he/she wants exclusive content, they have to pay.." I noticed the big sites for the most part, elminated most of their trials. If the surfer wants to see a site, $20 is nothing... I've paid $26 to join amateurallure and I've gladly paid $24 for some other sites. Maybe cause I'm in the biz and my view is different. Either way, there's strong points on either side... Here's a testimonial from some college kid...
" Hi!!
Your site is HOT! It's my first time paying for a site! And WOW! I like it!
My question is... I would like to know when i will be rebilled, cause i'm a student, and i can't afford a second membership... "
If I had a trial, this guy wouldn't have rebilled... I know this is 1 example and like I said, it's not an easy decision.
