I'm looking for unique ways to get sales for my products and I've gotten good responses from using the TrialPay site. (I sell promotingprowrestling.info and treepromise.com using TrialPay).

I like how they have top partners like Apple and Blockbuster, which gives my product more credibility. The dashboard setup is very easy to navigate and they give a lot of leeway with respect to the amount of affiliate images you can provide for a product. They even direct deposit into my account via PayPal.

So why don't many Warriors use TrialPay? Why hasn't it set the world on fire?

I use TrialPay and seen my conversion rate take a huge jump, I like them and will continue to use there services to move my products.

The only places I've seen use TrialPay are larger operations--AVG and one other anti-spyware/anti-virus software, and the book club I'm currently a member of.

But that doesn't mean that Warriors aren't using it--what makes you so sure that they're not?

Warriors are not immune to being human. That means that change isn't always the easiest thing to do - though Warriors are probably more welcoming of change than the general population.

That being said, I can tell you why I don't use it. Because I don't know that I've ever heard of it. Which, personally, translates into a little less trust in them to handle any kind of money.

I'm not saying they are untrustworthy, just that it would take some time before I became comfortable using them. My guess is other Warriors may feel the same way.

But as Brad said, don't be so sure other Warriors aren't already using it.

All the best,
Michael

I only asked because I searched the forum and found only a handful of posts that mentioned TrialPay even though it's been in business for a couple of years.

I'm just looking for a good place to find affiliates for my TrialPay products and I was surprised that one of the main aff marketing sites on planet Earth has little to no mention of the service.

I know godaddy used trial pay for a while. I got a bunch of domains from that

Yeah, I think that TrialPay has more potential than ClickBank just based on the fact that they can offer a lot of products from famous companies for customers to get. When it's near February 14, they spotlight their offers from FTD florists, for example. Plus, having your product associated with world-famous companies is a big plus in my view.

Plus by definition, these offers *are* incentivized offers, since you're incenting your customers to get your stuff by offering them to complete these merchants' offers.

Very powerful stuff.

A combo between trialpay and a marketplace for downloadable products would rock, IMHO.

Trialpay is great and can be a great source of income for some offline ventures. Once you join trialpay, they do have an affiliate program as well. It is free and if used well, it can definitely help offline businesses as well as a lot of online businesses.

They work with credible companies and this form of marketing can work well with salons, restaurants, etc.

I too am amazed that barely anyone uses TrialPay!

Eben Pagan uses TP for his $25 million/year Double Your Dating business, I actually wrote about it on my blog a few months ago NEW Ordering Strategy From Eben Pagan's $25M/Year 'Double Your Dating' Business | Internet Marketing Street Smarts

Once a product has run it's course , after my affiliates have squeezed the remaining juice out of it , I use trial pay .

I just don't think it would be right to offer it on trial pay as long as I have affiliates pushing it .

Most of my new courses are somewhat evergreen. Some of my other niche stuff gets copied to the point that everyone is selling basically the same thing . At that point trial pay seems to be a good option.

I just don't like how they send shills to forums to start new accounts and pretend to ask questions about TrialPay to promote it.

It just seems spammy to me. If they service was so good, why the need for three shills for this thread alone?

Dennis Gaskill

For me, I've been in business online since 1997, long before TrialPay came along. Between my own merchant account, my Paypal account, and my Clickbank account, I haven't had any need to look at other payment options.

I am open to suggestion though, so tell me what's good about it? What do they offer that the other services don't?

BIG Mike

Same here...

As to change - sometimes, if it ain't broke, you don't tinker with it. From what little I've learned about them so far, they wouldn't be a good fit for my business activities.

This is a bit of a sidebar on payment processors in general, but I remember the same questions being asked about StormPay (the old PayPal knockoff). I went to a lot of effort to integrate them with, shall we say, less than stellar results in terms of how many customers actually used them.

I have a couple of 2CO accounts, but they lack a lot of IPN type functionality that PayPal offers, so don't use them anymore. They're an option if I ever cannot use PayPal for some reason, but my testing proves to me that the overwhelming majority of sales have always been through PayPal.

For me at least, while I usually embrace change, I also need solid reasons for doing so.

The Science of Success

From my initial understanding, trialpay is a very different animal altogether though.

What their value proposition seems to be is that you can give your freebie seekers products 'for free' (they have to start one of the free trials or products offered) and you still get paid ($18 according to another poster, I am just starting research).

At least for our business model that has some real potential.

Also, I found out about them earlier as a customer, saving $40 (that I would have gladly spent) by buying a $10 computer game for my son for $5 from a highly reputable page and getting the $40 product as a bonus...this was not one of these spammy 'make you jump through 10 hoops' things I've come across many times before (and felt very different, reputable, from the beginning). It was a simple process for me and I was happy it was offered, so I am excited to test it out.

trialpay is big enough and matured enough to have their metrics quite perfected and know what a new customer is worth for them and it seems a great win-win-win.

Anyone else with first hand experience selling with it??

I just came across it for the first time about 10 minutes ago, but I'm thinking it might be a great way to start marketing.

For example you can market on Facebook (who aren't there to buy stuff), get traffic to your site, then they get your product for free if they just fill out an offer from a highly respected company?

Sounds like $$$ to me.

Josh Anderson

I don't like it when forum members pretend to be psychics

TP has been around for a while... Years... Definitely worth discussing in a forum about making money.

singhavn

I came across this one while buying other stuff but never though of using it myself. You have really raised my attention.

TrialPay actually has some potential - I started a project trying it out with some PLR material. It was pretty much the laziest project of all time lol I uploaded the ebook as it was to TrialPay. Chucked up the salespage as it was also and then all I did was post 10 PLR articles to ArticlesBase and bookmark each article to a handful of places.

I've had around 150 clicks to the offer with 1 sale (But I reckon conversion is closer to 1:80 as I had a sale at around 70-80 clicks - expecting another as soon as more clicks trickle in) and yes, the sale amount was around $19 if I remember right. A lot more than I expected.

Obviously, if I'd put more effort into getting a properly copywritten salespage and submitted unique, optimised and pre-selling articles as well as had better graphics/bonuses etc etc you can imagine that conversions would be much, much better.

I think it holds a ton of potential but as somebody said, if you already have a profitable product with affiliates promoting for you then TrialPay would be a complete waste of your time and a huge cut into your profits (if we factor in OTO's, recurring payments etc which you can't do with TrialPay).

It fully depends on your business model.
