What do you think is a good ratio for convesion from paid trial to recurring membership?

What do you think is the industry average ratio for conversion?


Thanks!

I would imagine the industry average is about 20-40% although mine have always been around 40-60%. Just a guess on the industry average as I don't use many affiliates.

Hi, why do you think your ratio is so much higher than the industry average? What sites do you run?

Good question...I think it is as simple as this....

I don't cheat myself or anyone else including my members. I have had several people get the trial, cancel it....Then sign up later for 1 month or in most cases, 1 year. Honesty is always the best policy, period.

I believe (or shall I say know) affiliate programs shave heavily. I won't mention names. They know who they are. The sites I run are, well confidental at the moment...You can easily find out if you spent the time investigating. I am coming out with an affiliate program of my own shortly that will be straight as an arrow and full details will be posted soon. For now, you can ICQ me at 61808990 for future reference.

The average has to be closer to 30%
