I am a newbie to drupal trying to set up a membership site. I have read pages and pages of permissions, roles, etc documentation on drupal. Does anyone out there have a simple tutorial for getting a membership site up and running with drupal/ubercart? I need the following:
1. Free trial period for new user accounts
2. ability to have monthly subscriptions with recurring billing
3. ability to have annual membership rather than monthly membership
4. ability to "drip" content for monthly membership sites based on their time as a member (i.e. week 1 show content x, week 2 show content x & y, week 3 ...)
any help is much appreciated. I have the ACL, payment, ubercart, and membership modules installed and working, just need some direction to accomplish each of these items above. Thanks in advance.

Lots of work
You were right to chose Drupal for this project. What you propose to do is a lot of work even for an amazing CMS like Drupal.
I don't believe that there are modules that will do exactly what you want out-of-the-box although I DO believe that UberCart should have most if not all of that available for you. That means some custom code will need to be built for some of the other functionality you mentioned. Looking at your list, it won't be much custom code though.
What is your Drupal knowledge? Do you hangout in the Drupal-Support chat room in IRC where we all help each other out?
No matter how much you know, I recommend getting into the Lullabot vidoes and/or their next online virtual training workshop. more info here...

Gradual content delivery
I'm trying to a build a site with almost the same needs (minus free trial period), but am just having a hard time figuring out how to 'drip' content. I've used Drupal for 3-4yrs so I'm quite familiar with the fundamentals - it's the gradual content delivery that is new to me:-) Any suggestions?
