Answers.Text: Have a 1 month non-recurring membership type of "trial".
  
  As month ends send message with links to standard "annual" membership sign up?

Body: <p>Using civicrm / wordpress</p>
  <p>I would have thought there would already be an extension or setting to have a 1 week / 1 month etc free trial when a member signs up as a paid member, but I cannot see this option.</p>
  <p>Does anyone know of an extension to handle this or does it need custom development?</p>
