      Depends on who you are targetting, but at that price $5 is still cheap.

          A cheaper trial will always get you more joins, but it won't always make you more money.
          You have to experiment and find the "sweet spot"

            We noticed a 15% increase in trials going from $4.87 to $2.87 so I would say definately yes on the $1 joins.

              It will sell more trials joins, whether those trials recur for the full membership or not, I don't imagine it would be any better.

                Do this experiment: promote the sites of Platinum Bucks - $35/trial or 80% , they have the option of $1 or $4.95 per trial for the same sites (papyout to webmasters is also a bit different), so you can see how it converts with one payment option or another ...
                $9.95/month for 15000 GB bandwidth monthly, unlimited (sub)domains and MySQL5, PHP4/5, 500 GB disk storage! ; use any of these invitation codes: 216263692101; 408636009193; 846090586647; my ICQ 30160426!

                    For me the 1.00 joins have been a great success.

                        The real question is will it sell 5 times better?

                            I usually advise people to consider their competition, consider the niche, and consider how much of a captive audience they have ie:traffic source.

                                              That is nice increase. Hopefully they stay beyond the trial period.

                                                  My math brain my be shut off today but wouldnt that really become an overall dip in revenue.

                                                  For instance if you were doing 100 trials a day.
                                                  4.98 @ 100 a day = 498.00 per day in trials.
                                                  2.98 @ 115 a day = 342.70 per day in trials. (15% increase already added).

                                                  Resulting in a 68.8% loss.


                                                  Edit fuck, I put 4.98 and 2.98 instead of 4.87 and 2.87. Oh well you catch my drift either way.

                                                    ratios go WAY up by switching to $1 trials. i've seen it make a big difference.

                                                      You have to experiment and find the "sweet spot"
                                                      Yep, agree with that.

                                                      I always had mixed results, and still switch between them every so often...

                                                            no. maybe it could happen with some sites, but as a rule of thumb, 4.99 or $1 don't make a difference

                                                              For instance if you were doing 100 trials a day.
                                                              4.98 @ 100 a day = 498.00 per day in trials.
                                                              2.98 @ 115 a day = 342.70 per day in trials. (15% increase already added).

                                                              Resulting in a 68.8% loss.


                                                              Edit fuck, I put 4.98 and 2.98 instead of 4.87 and 2.87. Oh well you catch my drift either way.
                                                              I get your point, but you're missing the fact that trials will eventually recur, so 15% is good. ie, take those 100 sales per 29.95= 2995 as 115*2995= 3444.25

                                                              Still, in my experience when a horny surfer is looking for porn, the problem is to make him take the wallet off his pocket. Once you got him, $1 or $4.90 won't make a difference. Still, I'm all for the non trial unless your content is absolutely great. That from a site owner POV, of course. When it's another program's site, trials are great, and ALWAYS promote per SU

                                                                Hmm, for an affiliate, i've always wondered what would be teh best payout.

                                                                Using Pimproll because they have 3 different options...

                                                                If my math is right, you need:

                                                                A 10-12ish% increase in sales going from $4.99 to $2.99 to be worth it
                                                                A 22-24% increase in sales going from $2.99 to $1.00 to be worth it

                                                                Just using a small sample like 25 sales for $30 PPS you'll get $750
                                                                In order to get $750+ with the $27.5, you need 28 sales (12%)
                                                                In order to get $750+ with the $25, you need 31 sales (24%)

                                                                With a larger scale, the number lowers.. for example...

                                                                100 sales = $3,000
                                                                $2.99 option = 110 sales = $3,025 = 10%
                                                                $1.00 option = 120 sales = $3,000 = 20%

                                                                1,000 sales = $30k
                                                                $2.99 option = 1,091 sales = 9%
                                                                $1.00 option = 1,200 sales = 20%

                                                                So even in large numbers you'll still need to pull a 20% increase if you drop down $5 PPS with any drop.

                                                                If my math is wrong feel free to correct me, i'm curious to find the best options as well.
