How to Offer a Free Trial? Instantly Boost Your Sales

Joshua Uebergang · 12-23-2008, 02:31 AM

I've heard the power of offering a free trial to your product. People enter in their details, get the program, and are only charged after, say 30 days, if they keep the product. How is this done? It's basically a free trial of the product and very powerful, except I don't know how it's done.

How could it be done with Authorize.net account?

Joshua,

In all honesty, if you want to make money, you
need a simple way to weed out of the people
that are guaranteed to cancel from those that
are likely to stick with it.

The best way to do this is by offering a $1 to
$10 trial with attached continuity or a lump-sum
payment at the 14, 30 or 45 day mark.

Authorize.net will allow you to do this, but so
will Clickbank, 1SC, or most high-quality payment
processors. You may need to purchase an
upgrade module, but look in the administrative
interface for an "automatic rebill" feature.

In the feature, you'll have the options to
select the initial amount to charge, the initial
trial length, how many times to rebill the
customer, and how much to charge for
subsequent payments.

This is becoming much more common, so
it shouldn't be difficult to find or understand
when you're setting it up in your payment
system.

I hope this helps.

Warm Regards,

-William Clements
