The Ever Elusive Free Trial Porn Affiliate Program Updated 1/4/03 The Basics Let’s start off with the basics. The free trial
porn membership is where a surfer joins an adult pay site based on a trial
period of a given number of days. After the given number of days have
passed, if the user hasn’t canceled their membership, the adult
pay site will proceed to bill the user the full price of the site and
begin the recurring membership fees. Disadvantages of the Free Trial Porn Program
There are certain disadvantages to the free trial period form of marketing
for adult pay sites. One is the number charge backs for users is a lot
greater than that of traditional signup sites. Users forget to cancel
their memberships before the trial period ends, remember a few days later
past after charges have been assessed and thus have the credit card companies
chargeback the adult pay sites. This is not good business for adult pay
sites. One of the other disadvantages is the fact that surfers
are becoming smarter everyday and can burn enormous amounts of bandwidth,
especially with today’s prominence of broadband access. In those
few days, watching movies and downloading enormous amounts of content,
it is easy to rack up enormous amounts of bandwidth transfers before proceeding
to cancel their free trial membership. Advantages of the Free Trial Porn Program
The advantages of the free trial porn membership is clearly the amount
of signups for these programs. These free trial programs are much easier
to turn over than the traditional signup programs, enabling the surfers
to get a taste of the inside for FREE, a word that porn surfers love.
But with the disadvantages and advantages, the majority of pay sites tend
to steer clear of such programs because the disadvantages outweigh the
advantages and can be a costly adventure.
The Affiliates that Offer
(The sites with a strike-through have removed the
free trial option.) Hawgs
Cash
The program has been updated and they did an awesome job. You have to
check it out. Read my review
here. Shared
Earnings
50+ sites, all offering a $45 per free
trial signup! Not to mention they have specials where the payout goes
up to $50. Need I say more? Signup
here for Shared Earnings or read more about the program here. CE
Cash
One pay site system, CE Cash, who has garnered a reputation as being one
of the top adult webmaster affiliate programs on the net, has pulled the
free trial porn program off better than any other out there. CE Cash has
enabled to offer the surfer a free trial to their sites with a unique
approach. At CE Cash, a surfer can subscribe to a site and then cancel
without them paying out to the affiliate. They operate the system on a 7 day retention span. If
the surfer continues the membership through 7 days without canceling the
free trial period or without a chargeback then the affiliate will be awarded
the $55 signup. It is a program that lets CE Cash continue to offer the
free trial without them getting burnt with chargebacks and cancels and
payouts to webmasters. I have worked with CE Cash for sometime and the conversion
rates are pretty good. However, it can be quite diminishing watching the
surfer cancel or chargeback their memberships and see your $55 dollars
disappear. Join
CE cash here. ConversionCash
One of the programs that I know offers free trial porn memberships is
ConversionCash. Having never tried the program I have not much to say
about it other than I believe that they operate in the same way that CE
Cash offers free trials to its customers and affiliates. If the surfer
cancels the free trial membership you will not get paid, as you are getting
paid for the full signup and not the free trial signup. Start
earning $$$ now! Flash
Cash
Flash Cash recently implemented the free trial at $20 per free trial signup,
even if the user cancels their membership or chargebacks. This is by far
the most lucrative process for the affiliate. All you have to do is to
get the user to signup for the program and you get $20! You can’t
beat it or can you? Read my

Big Bags of Cash,
Sexhit and
Sexhit-Supercharge
I have placed all four of these programs in the same category because
they are all operated by the same company. These are outstanding programs.
The deal with these programs is a whopping $70 per free trial signup regardless
of cancels or chargebacks. This is unbelievable!
The unique thing about the programs is that they make
the payouts stretch over a 3 month period. The first month payout for
each signup is $40 followed the second month with $20 and the third month
with $10. This is how the programs explain that they can operate at such
a high payout rate. All of the programs offer this structure except for
Sexhit-Supercharge which operates on a $70 payout weekly! You receive
the full $70 for every signup paid weekly. One of the best and most lucrative
programs out there. PornCash
PornCash is another free trial porn memberships affiliate that pays you
$30 dollars no matter what the surfer decides to do. If the cancel or
chargeback you still receive the $30 per free trial join. A lot of speculation has surrounded this program and
the thought of shaving signups. Well PornCash has implemented a non-shaving
structure that actually lets you test to see if they are shaving. I must
admit after seeing the performance of other programs I have used, I have
been very close at times in trying it out. This program has been my least
productive so far, but I believe it to be because the amount of sites
and the quality of the tours that don’t hold ground to the other
programs, thus a sub-par turnover ratio. However, some of their sites
are really nice and I just can’t explain it. GatorCash
and CrocodileCash
Two new programs that I have just found and haven’t really had time
to test. GatorCash offers $40 per free trail signup and CrocodileCash
offers $50 per free trial signup. It doesn’t matter if they cancel
or not the just need to signup. These are two programs I am looking forward
to promoting.
At first glance of each of their portfolios I am willing
to say that GatorCash will more than likely turnover a lot better. The
tours look good. CrocodileCash tours just plain crap, but you never know.
The design of the site is not always an indicator of the true performance.
Only testing will be able to write the story. I hope this article has given you some insight into
the free trial porn affiliate arena and how it works. There have been
others that offered free trial programs and then gave it up because the
programs were losing more money than they were making. I am quite surprised
at the diversity of payouts and often wonder how some programs can actually
survive. If you have any other information, or know of any other
affiliates that offer free trial porn memberships, let
me know I would love to check them out. Pornfreak |
