Not offering rebills. Is it wrong??

[James not Bond]

I do not offer rebills on my site UK Girls Downloads, only 30 days and 120 days.

Am I missing out on something here?

I just assumed people didn't want the hassle of having to cancel.

Guess that depends on if you want the hassle of having to cash their checks.

I would think its wise to offer rebills, certainly a few of your members would continue to stay with the site.

[Hentaikid]

Offer it as an option... rebills are sweet... if non recurring is available besides it's not like you're forcing anyone to pick 'em.

[Kelli58]

You are without a doubt making a HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE mistake. Trust me, change your membership to rebill automatically and your income will improve greatly.

James, as a fellow Brit, let me tell you straight . . you're insane!

No seriously mate, get the rebills set up on your site ASAP as you are DEFINITELY losing money every minute that goes past without it. If you want to post your site here I can take a look at it and suggest some price points you might want to consider.

I dont have enough posts to directly link to my site, but it's ukgirlsdownloads.com

While that is usually true, if you have an awesome product they will keep coming back on thier own.. I know of one major player in the Reality porn niche and Im talking REAL porn and they make in the several hundred K a year with 75$ for a YEAR. Non rebilling.

[Wilsy]

Took a look at your site and think it looks great.

As for the billing why not have it as a re-bill if they don't want to stay on they can always cancel, it is easier to cancel than reset up a cc payment so you will be losing custom.

[James not Bond]

well, I've taken the plunge and setup rebilling, let's face it, what have I to lose?

As for making several hundred k a year, well, that would be nice. I would get my bank overdraft paid off at least.

i actually get mad when some sites don't offer a pps. especially when i don't get many sales but the ones i do get, they only stick around for one month. so i make maybe 10 bucks off one 30 day trial. i guess thats how things go.

Hey James,
You do know we have attractive girls in England as well right? lol! It's just you've shot some real mingers on your site but hey, there's a market for everything I suppose. Anyway, as your cock and tongue has obviously suffered for your art I will post some constructive suggestions for you:-
1. Your webmasters link is only on the home page. As soon as anyone starts looking through the tour pages the webmasters link at the bottom disappears. Fix this and get the webmasters link on ALL pages outside the members area.
2. When we started answering your questions in this thread I don't remember anyone advising you to ONLY offer a recurring membership. You should give the customer options but leave the default as recurring. You have obviously changed it to recurring already but now you don't offer anything else so you could be putting off some people who hate the idea of recurring fees. If it was me I would offer the following:-
$29.99 for 30 days recurring (default)
$34.99 for 30 days non-recurring
$74.99 for 90 days non-recurring
That way people can decide what they want. The default has the recurring option as that's what you want people to go for but if they don't fancy that they can go for a non-recurring option.
3. I don't know what sort of traffic / sales you achieve but if it's reasonable then you could consider teaming up with another site which complements your content and offering each other's sites as a "Special Of The Day" on the sign-up page. So when someone goes to sign up for your site, on the CCBill page it offers them access to Site B as well for "only an extra $3.95" or something like that - then get Site B to offer the same for your site. Maybe if you can find another UK amateur type site it could work well . .
Anyway, try some of that . . and get some better looking girls man! You are going to make everyone think British girls are munters!

[purecharlie]

Oh, and here's a clickable link to your site for anyone else who wants to take a look:-
UK Girls Downloads

[purecharlie]

I see you have now changed your site's payment options to EXACTLY match what I suggested above. I think that's a wise move, but a "thank you" would have been nice - lol!

Anyway, check back here in a month or so and let us know if this has improved things for you at all.

[James not Bond]

I will thank you for the advice about the billing purcharlie, but your other comments about the girls on my site is less than professional.
I have contacted the admin of this site asking if they will remove your post as I find it tasteless and offensive.

[papagmp]

I like the girls - sure - there are some I wouldn't wank to - but it's real amateur stuff - and there is a huge market for that. Hell - I'll always take the girl next door over some fake-titted bimbo. And - from the times I was in the UK, your girls look much more like what I'd find in the pubs than what's on many other sites. Keep it real and you'll do fine in that niche.

Don't let one person's opinion get you upset - otherwise you'll go insane on this board.

Oh, and Welcome to GFY

[James not Bond]

Thanks papagmp, I know I shouldn't let one persons' comment get to me, if he actually took the time to look over my site he would realise that it is a real amateur porn site, with a few known models as well, granted.

Some people will do or say anything to try and look clever.

[ethanol]

yeah, i agree with others that it is a mistake.
i'd be curious to know what improvement you have on your retention rate in a month or so.

Nobody is going to remove shit for you. I'm not trying to be harsh or demeaning, this is an adult webmaster board called 'go fuck yourself', so naturally, you won't find many using many formalities when talking.

If he doesn't like the type of girls you have, just tell him thanks, but his sister was booked for Blacks on Blondes double anal so you had no other choice.

Then wink or smile with one of these.

Oh boy, I see you went ahead with that sense of humour bypass operation then!

OK, fair enough, that's the last advice you're getting from me. It comes to something when I spend my own time FOR FREE to give you advice that will generate a lot of money for you (and generate fuck all for me!) - and in return you turn round and call me unprofessional. The comment about your girls was a joke buddy! You know what they are? Obviously not.

I did have a few other things I was going to suggest to improve your site and generate you extra money but I ain't telling you shit now - and if you find that "tasteless and offensive" then . . go fuck yourself

Jdoughs, get it right - Blacks on Blondes was the day before, she couldn't make it because she was driving my mother to the bukkake gangbang

Oh no, what have I done? No more advice??? Shit, now I?m fucked, my business is ruined.

I won?t be able to pay the mortgage on my house, I?ll be evicted. What will I do?? I?ll have to move into one of my rental properties and to blank out the pain of losing my ?porn empire? I?ll drink heavily and do skunk.
Then I?ll probably lose the plot and all my properties in the UK and be bankrupted, then I?ll have to move over to France to my property over there, but then I won?t be able to cope with the pain of my downfall and so I?ll have to return to my homeland of Scotland and end up living on the streets drinking Buckfast, (Scotlands third national drink after whisky and Iron Bru).

Yupp, I am soooooooo fucked.

[James not Bond]

My downward spiral has already started...... I cant even spell now.

It's Irn Bru.

[JeffCliff]

I do think it depends on the product you are promoting. Some people actually don't mind rebills rather prefer it. Remember at the end of the day they can always cancel...so why not have it as an option!

[Tease4Cash]

i know everybody told you already but you are making a HUGE mistake !!! offer it as a cheaper option ... at least! The most money I make are from rebills!!!

[Wizzo]

Its only wrong if your goal is to not make money!
