I run a high school resource website that provides free notes, outlines, practice quizzes, and other study materials to help students study more effectively. Right now, all of the revenue from the site is generated from advertising sales. With that said, I would like to diversify my revenue streams be able to incorporate a subscription based service into my site but seeing as how the primary audience is high school students that don't have credit cards, it's very tough to imagine that working.

I was thinking I could work with TrialPay and get these high school students to complete offers in order to get access to a premium section. I'm worried that all of their offers will require a credit card too. Has anyone worked with them before? Do they have any offers that don't require a credit card?
 


Ive tried running those plenty of times before. Haven't converted. I guess my teenage audience isnt the typical myspace type audience that these offers work well with.
 
I assume your site is mostly teens, 13-17. I'd start by analyzing the big players in SERP's for your type of demographic.

Put your thinking cap on,
Extensive list of teen sites that could be researched for advertising behavior

Article on teen internet behavior and usage which might spawn ideas


Off the top of my head,
- Build E-Mail lists (these people are going to grow up and have credit cards eventually, most people hold on to an e-mail for a long long time)

- Offers that only require a sign up

- Cell phone offers that pique more interest than the generic which line is longer type, maybe the submit your pin and get a ipod type ones.

- Capitalize on current teen trends and morph their interests around an offer

- AdSense
