Paid Account Trial

Title:
Paid Account Trial

Area:
paid time

Summary:
Give users the option to have paid time for a certain length of time so see if they like it.

Description:
LJ had a feature where for free, you get two weeks of paid time. I think this would be useful for DW. By having this, users can preview what it's like to have paid accounts and therefore, if they like it, they would be more inclined to buy it. I would like to preview what it's like myself but am hesitant because I do not want to end up wasting money if I don't like it.

Offer .99 cents for a week, and upgrade to a month (for an additional $2.01) if you like it?

There are overheads with the payment processor, though. I suspect that if you made the payments any smaller, nothing would be left for DW.

Alas, that's true. O:(

Make it possible for other people to give 1-week subscriptions, with points, where you have to have bought a minimum of X points anyway? O:/
