The economy and Trials
 

Since this economy stuff started heating up, Ive noticed most of my sales are now cheap trials or free trials. The sites without trials are really down. I guess that makes sense if people are worried about money but still need some porn.

In fact, Im actually making the same amount of money on trial sponsors as I used to. So I guess Ill just stop promoting non trial sponsors.

Is everyone else noticing similar patterns?

Wow. Grats.

Well, I do not offer trials. But I have noticed more clip sales compared to membership.

I noticed that trial sponsors are down and anything that looks like some catch is down (obviously most porn buyers have learned that the hard way) hence memberships sites that play no games are doing fine as well as ppv.

Your trial story seems to me a theory you cooked up but haven't tried because if you did you would know it would make you way less money.

Trials only work if you have a good strategy to get them to upgrade once they are in the trial section.

That's sponsor's problem though, not affiliate's... :winkwink:

Can you explain why? I get paid $30+ per sale, I suspect your reading my post thinking I meant as a paysite owner, Im talking about affiliate earnings which is all I do. I dont promote any trial sites that are not PPS - sorry for not being clear, I should have mentioned that :1orglaugh

Im also not saying Im making the same levels of sales across the board, I said Im making the same amount on trial sponsors - the non trial sites are down for me, leading me to believe that surfers still want to buy porn, but dont want to pay $30 for a site straight off.

there's no money in money

affiliate or sponsor dont matter you will take a 50% net haircut if you deal with trials

I dont get what your saying. If Im paid $35 for a sale, why would I loose 50% with trials on? Im finding trials are converting much better than no trials, so how am I loosing?
