i have a couple of questions:
have you had any success with products that offer a free trial version of their product?


if you've any experience in this, what did you do to improve conversions?
 


Try to find an offer with at least two of the three:

- free shipping
- does not require a credit card
- simple sign up process

People are lazy and cheap so make it as easy as possible for them to convert.
 
are you looking to provide a free trial on your services for conversions? Or are you looking for good products with free trials? I was unclear on the question.
 
i used to promote a music software with free trial.

after hundreds of download but no single sales.
 
I'm trying out a 3 months free hosting offer. Sign up below and I'll let you know how successful it is.... :D
 
If it requires a CC, I've only had success with free trials that had $70+ payouts. We're talking free 1 month trial, $1.95 shipping. I ran a bunch of them with $30 payouts and was never able to profit. I probably could have optimized, but it was difficult to do with a thousand clicks and 0-1 sales.
 
Users will be more likely to buy the product if you don't misrepresent it to them in the first place.

Was this PPC traffic?
 
what i was offering was software that offers free trial versions of their stuff and believe me, the coversions aren't shit! btw, all of the traffic was/is mostly organic and very targeted with very little ppc at the beginning so all it really cost me was some time
 
Aff_Tim is right...

The requirement of a credit card is the big no-no so be very careful and try and go through the process yourself to see how simple it is...

There are lots of these offers around and only the best tend to perform...

Software can good for trials but harder to track.

I would agree here. You want to look at products that people would want to try for free. Although that's not where the money is, people are more likely to want to try something that purchase it straight away without testing it. You need a product that you know, once tested that there would be a high chance that the visitor would want to keep using that product and would then purchase it.
