				Free Trials vs. 1-3$ Trials
			 
			Is it worth offering free trials vs. 1-3$ ones???? My sites are the type with really high retention so Im thinking of testing out some free trials, but the fact is that Ive never even done trials before, always just a straight up first month price. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Also, with CCBill, they charge an extra excruciating 2% on 0$ trialz...  |

		 Your traffic is unique, everyone's is. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
			The only REAL way to see what works best is through A/B testing. Send them 50/50 to free trials and $X trials... or break it up however you want. Watch your rebills and viola! You have the correct answer. There are no shortcuts to optimizing what works best for your site...

 Maybe, hopefully, after the traffic is sufficient, I can do some 50-50 experimenting ![]()  |

		 What do you think is more profitable 1 or 3 day trials?

		 I used to do $4.95 trials for 3 days and had a pretty consistent retention of 30%. I'm thinking of doing it again so I can study it some more. I always thought a one day tour would prompt the member to immediately cancel where the 3 day tour might give them enough to want to stay. I do think that if they will pay a dollar they will pay 5 dollars for a trial though. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
			I have seen people charge 10$ for 10 day tours and wonder how that works for them.

		 $1-3 are better.  A lot of people that see the free trials think they are going to get scammed.  I've had a lot of luck with $1 myself.
