Why Many Dont Join

I took some time to add the following popup to my sites just to see what people will write.

The following I had popup when someone exited the join page without joining.

http://www.badtushy.com/surv1ey.aspx

almost all had the same concerns

Recurring billing (some had other things to say but over 90% said recurring billing)

So I did two things and it helped me generate more signups.

1) on the join page I added a link saying you can cancel by clicking here, it takes less then 30 seconds.

2) I added a one time signup option (it's $99 for 6 months) and many chose that option.

Figured some here might find this helpful

one of the things men fear the most: commitment

make your non recurring options a little higher profit margins as well, and watch surfers join again and again, resulting in more $$$.

Could be. They didn't spend millions developing Verified by Visa for nuthin.

It wouldn't surprise me if Visa stopped allowing recurring billing for high-risk transactions. I could see that happening in 2004.

Sure, why not... Fall 2002 they slapped the $750 fee and made the scrubbings go up at the processors, Fall 2003 they're reducing CB ratios and making the processors get even more stingent, any bets as to what lies for Fall 2004 people?

Nice work and good thinking! Will try that myself!

Although, to be honest, I have to admit I wondered about that when I first saw your site. I always assumed most surfers would be insulted by a site that didn't offer one-time billing; I expect they would be suspicious that the site was too agressive.

Glad you did the homework for us; I always suspected that but couldn't prove it.

most sites seem more concerned with fucking the customer instead of giving a shit about what they want.
