so if the member doesn't cancel within 30 minutes of signing up then they get billed at the monthly rate?

From what I understand you start with the thiry minute trial - then they convert to a regular trial (3day whatever) then the convert to a regular member - this is assuming you keep the member through the entire process...

as well you can convert from the thirty min to regular membership, again this is just from what I have gathered in the last few minutes

I'm thinking it gives the surfer the 30 minutes,then when time is up thet are sent to a page asking if they want to continue at the monthly rate for $xx.xx... BUT if it is setup 30 minutes and the surfer forgets and gets charged wooooo PAY DAY BAAAAABY!

OK let me clear the confusion on how this product works:

Step 1 X min free preview

- X can be 30 minutes or longer

Step 2 converts to paid trial at X minutes

the paid trial can be

- 1 day or longer
- $1.00 or more

Step 3 converts to recurring membership

- converts to your monthly price

***Surfers ARE NOT sent to a page asking if they want to continue. The conversions occur behind the scenes like normal trials do.

If you have additional questions please contact support.

2 trials? Whats the point, anyone who will pay 50 cents for 30 minutes will pay a couple bucks for 3 days, no?

unless they have some system for chargebacks not being an issue, epoch is taking the biggest risk i have ever seen.

i hope you boys have merchants after merchants to go through

users will complain they cancelled with in the time limit, or some other bs, and you'll just be creating the biggest storm of problems anyone has ever seen hehee

I agree 100%.. Once this thing catches on and it will its a matter of time before it blows up with customer billing nightmares, fraud and the such..

The industry now is so shady as it is, porn surfers will milk this shit to the bone in no time.

Now if epoch wont have a problem with chargebacks down the road, you guys should milk it for whats its worth asap

not to be a stick in the mud on this one but if a surfer pulls out his card for age verification to get the free 30 minutes,wouldnt he pull it out for the $1.95 trial? why go thru the extra step?

I liked my way better lol

The chargebacks will be ABSURD.

This is going to create a customer service nightmare for anyone who uses this on their paysite.

Of course the gallery makers and shit will like it.

This will crash and burn within the year.

Your average porn surfer wll dispute the timestamp or any proof he is confronted with..

End result 9 out of 10 times =Chargeback

We all know the saying the customer is ALWAYS right , well in this industry its SAD but true.

Creative idea, but I'm curious if this would make things better or worse...

Wouldn't there be the same problems that come with free 3-day trials? More sales, less conversions to monthly. More free bandwidth being eaten up.

Now instead of signing up every friday night for a free weekend, johnny jackoff can signup for just enough time during lunch hour each day and be satisfied.

Can we block future free signups after the first one?

What do you guys think? Good? Bad? Ugly?

So you think a straight free trial is a better option? We've been doing this for 6 years, we know what we are doing.

Clay,

Simply awesome. I can see many uses for this besides it on paysites.

The steps you mentioned are still a little confusing.
Confusing in the sense that what happens *between* the converting from a 1-30 minutes trial, TO a regular trial or monthly membership? It's this "space in between" that i'm concerned with.

What exactly happens after the 30 minutes are up? It just auto recurs without them knowing about it to a trial or whatever i choose? I have to agree that this would have some chargebacks issues.

But another way of doing it that i would like to see would be something like this.
The surfer joins for 30 minutes. After which they get knocked out of the site completely, and end up at another join page.. (that has only but a few buttons without a form.)

Since he's already added his info and signed up for the 30 minute trial, there is no form. Just a button with something like, "if you like this site, click here to join at 29.95 a month, etc"

This i just a very "broad" idea off the top of my head as i have no clue how this would work or how it would affect chargebacks.

But i think it's better then just having it roll over from 30 minutes to a trial with no warning (besides the fine print).

Anyway, don't mind me...was just curious on what happens on the "between" time of the x-minute trial, to a trial/full membership. Cause it's this timeframe that seems the to be the most important area of error.

Maybe offer both routes? Regardless, awesome job Clay.

When I think about this logically, I am convinced this is a bad idea that will cost webmasters a lot of money. However, I have this nagging feeling inside that some people will make a lot of money off of it. The world is funny that way.

Maybe offer both routes? Regardless, awesome job Clay.
Thanks MikeEP,

There is full disclosure on the purchase form and in the confirming email regarding the transaction.
The process is quite simple actually, if a person does not cancel during the free preview period then he is converted to a normal paid trial.

some hassle might be avoided if the conversion doesn't occur after exactly the stipulated 30mins but after, say 40mins. I'm guessing this is the way it is beeing done?

Some, but far from all of them. Best move I ever made was to turn off trials for bangbus last year.

Fuck trials.


I wish I had the option of killing trials on all my partnerships.

Hey Clay whats the deal me and partner of mine want to move a fairly large account from Ibill and we were considering both you and PSW but no one will respond to us. Ibill is having major problems and we need to get out of there quick and get setup fast, PSW has already responded but no one from epoch will return contact us.

No, free trials were a bad idea as well. And look what happened to them.

The only people who should be putting input on this are people who run paysites as they are the ones who are going to have to deal with all the bullshit.

I have been on the receiving end of pissed off surfer ranting for the better part of 4 years for any number of reasons relating to their trial period. I have heard it all.

The surfer is petty. The surfer is cheap. The surfer is ignorant...the surfer is the enemy. You give him any leeway to fuck you, and he will.

With all the amount of shit I have to put up with with a 5 day trial, I cant even begin to imagine the shitstorm that a 30 minute trial will bring. Anyone who puts this on their sites is begging for it.

To the people applauding this, you are the same people who were all pushing dialers and free trials. You only look at the short term. Congrats on what will inevitably bring more scrutiny to an already fucked up situation.

jerkoffs.
