Re: non-recurring trials
i’ve noticed you don’t know much about working as an affiliate. affiliates very very VERY rarely give surfers tons of info about the site or the advantages of which option to buy. we talk about the niche, or even more often in a gallery situation, we show them a few pics or 1 minute of video and tell them that they can see the models inside the site.
i work with several large review sites, and i explain in the reviews twice - once in the body and once in the summary - when sites have limited trials that don’t even allow a member to see one full movie, or that ONLY allow members to see one full movie. but guess what - surfers join the low cost trial anyway. seeing a $1 or $2.95 option just gets some of them all excited, and others don’t “get it”.
in most situations, it’s the site itself that dictates which membership the surfers are going to buy. it doesn’t matter if i expect on my pages that the $24.95 membership is truly the best deal and why if the site i send the traffic to screams about how they offer a $1 for thousands of videos. also if a ccbill page dropdown uses a low cost trial that shows on the page, some guys don’t even realize it’s a dropdown and assume it’s their only choice.
[quote=fetishlad;19084]If a member finds a site and is NOT convinced by an affiliate to take a recurring membership - then the affiliate is responsible for that.
If the member after the trial decides to take out another membership (trial or recurring) then the site itself convinced the member and therefore should get the credit.
Affiliates think they “own” the surfer indefinite - but in this case that is not true - anyway - they “own” a surfer for as long as cookies are valid anyway …[/quote]
