Signup / Recurring ratios ? - GoFuckYourself.com

What is the normal ratio of trial signups converted to monthly ?

I think my ratios aren't too good

30-40% trial to monthly

those stats are a bit misleading, because it just says 'signup' when it's really two things (monthly signups and trial signups).

So in actual fact a bunch of those 56 signups have actually signed up for a month (a lot probably, because lightspeed don't offer a trial on the actual join page, only on the exit from the join) and have been billed ~$34 of which you end up with ~20.
Hopefully they will stay and you will get the rebill next month.

What you need to do is go click the ??? at the end of the Tawnee Stone line and see how many are trials and how many are monthly signups. Then 7/total number of trials and you'll get the conversion ratio.

Ok i got it, thanks.
I clicked on the ??? and it shows about 50% is monthly and another 50% is trial.

Anyway, looks like i'm getting 20 bucks per signup on average. ($1018 / 53 ). Not bad, I just wish they wouldn't pop that enrty console.

heh there is a no console linking option.. Looks like they've change the TS tour to the lightspeed18, interesting. I see it costs a bit more too.

Actually I've wondered why more of the sponsors with many sites don't bundle them and offer access to them all. i know ARS have an 80sites option, but I don't think you can link directly to it.

From a surfers perspective I think they'd think they were getting a sweet deal.. (i guess until the realised that 90% of the content between all the sites was identical

)

yeah, pretty strange.

hmm...is the payout lower with No Console option ?

btw, looks like the No Console links take you to the original site

ive noticed when the trial converts to such a high monthly charge like 39.95 people make it a point to cancel way more often than a trial that converts to 24.95 or 29,95...40 bucks is just alot

i can see a high first month, but for other months drop it down to like 25 or 20.
