Hey there,
I'll probably start off by saying my course is not some kind of marketing $cam.
It's by a large margin the best what you can find my niche and it provides real tangible value to people. I was in my niche for over 7 years and done what I teach myself (still do), got over 500 students in my older course and they got results. There's a need and this is the solution.
Niche: Minecraft server owners
Problem: They cannot customize their servers to what they want, not self-sufficient
Solution: Code plugins in Java that will customize your server how you want
Delivery: 8 weeks coding course, lifetime access, 2x live QA call, private community

Since launch I was getting 2 sales per day for $197 each which is very good. I was hoping to build a team and pay for subtitles, a developer and improve the customer experience. For me this business is not about the money but the impact it has.
The problem came when I opened free trials. Basically everyone gets access to Week 1 of the course for free. It's been 4 days and no-one has bought the course since. I'm seriously concerned.
My "guru" is Sam Ovens (invested $7500+ into him) and he's running trials and advising me on what to do, but I wanted to get an outsider's view on things since I have a very good experience with this forum and Millionaire Fastlane had a profound change on my life in 2016-7.

Here's some numbers (trials after the line):
Before the free trials, users faced the paywall right after signup page, so 100% of leads viewed checkout. Now there's a boarding process and users visit checkout when they click Upgrade

And here's how it actually looks like:
I know you guys are busy, so I just put up images from the site step-by-step what users face through-out the signup process:

At this point I am really puzzled by why the trial did not work. Any advice would be appreciated. The only reasons on my mind are: 1) Users see the content and get overwhelmed (got a few refunds due to this before) or 2) They lose interest or something else.
I have 7 years experience in my niche and full stack software experience. The whole site is custom built. I offer you free advice (ask anything, Skype or text) if you genuinely help out. At this point any advice is appreciated.
Thanks guys!
