I'm just looking for a way to make this work for everybody. Quote:2. Mailing list is possibly underused. I feel like it is only the hardcore minority of your clients hangs here in the forum. AFAIK, only people come here often did hear about your ridiculous december sale. If buyers and online forum users were all automatically subscribed to your mailing list, the pool of people informed of IML promotions, new products release and upgrades would increased by a lot. We so far have tried hard to use the mailing list as little as possible to prevent annoying people, but I suspect you are right. However, we don't autosubscribe people for that very same reason. Perhaps we will have to come up with something to get people to subscribe more actively, but I'm not sure I am comfortable with subscribing people without their consent. Quote:3. Your product library is HUGE. My best wish is that at some point, you only develop new programs because you like doing that and this is what you want to. Not because you have to... Possibly something to explore is advertising. I have heard about DMSI and your business from ear to mouth from a friend. Otherwise, I would have never heard about all of this. How many more people in the world is in that situation? My bet is a lot. IMHO, you have enough products. What you need is more prospects. The library is huge, but it is fractured into different levels of technology. The medium term goal is to build out the whole thing in 6G before I really start working on building a lot of titles I don't already have. This will make the library huge AND consistent in how powerful and effective it is. It's also going to take a considerable amount of time to do that, but 6G has been carefully designed to make the process about 5x faster than it would have been using the old 5G methods of program development. We are gearing up for advertising differently in the future, but as I said, we have to get Andrew and I back on track health-wise to be able to make the business thrive, and I am expecting that situation to change dramatically in the next year. Quote:4. I do refer people to your products when they ask me help with their problems but I would definitely do it on a much bigger scale if you had some sort of affiliate program... If you had one, I would participate in... I'm sure that I would easily be in position to become in your top 5 affiliates... The affiliate program is something we have had on the back burner for a long time because of various factors outside of our control. My hope is that that lack of control has been caused by this cycle that has been affecting me, and that come 2019, we will be able to re-establish the affiliate system. The only issue then will be weeding out the people who will inevitably try to scam us through the affiliate system again and preventing affiliates from advertising in ways that are unethical. Quote:IMHO, you need more traffic, more prospects... Not more products... We need more traffic, more prospects, a consistent product line, and a technology set that can overcome at least 95% of the resistances people may have to succeeding. We need better a YouTube presence, a better social media presence, an affiliate system and a way for people to access the more expensive programs from a payment plan or monthly fee of some type. I greatly appreciate your interest in helping by making these suggestions, and I'm looking forward to seeing some (if not all of) these changes take place in 2019 and 2020. When we do have an affiliate program again, I hope to see you and many others fairly benefiting from it.

Keep in mind that AM and all of the multi-stage sets are offered in smaller chunks. In this case, AM7 will also be offered one stage at a time, so the cost will be ~$300 a pop, which is much easier than $1,800 or even $900. And you will still be eligible for the 50% upgrade discount when you buy it a stage at a time. The only difference at that point is, you are no longer getting Stage 7 for free. I don't think it's reasonable to ask $1,800 or however much AM 7 turns out to be, and then have people pay a recurring fee after that.

This coughing problem has caused you much trouble so it's great that you have finally found a permenant solution to this and get rid of it forever. I do hope, however, that you will be able to find the time to build it earlier than expected because your health is no joke and should be given the utmost priority even if it's under control right now.

There's so much potential I'm sure there are many people who will be eager to try them I know I will solve my lung health. I'm not entirely sure how or exactly when yet. Have to get a few things accomplished first in terms of developing the tech, too. But it's coming. RE: Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3 - MasterEnki - 12-14-2018 @Shannon Please keep the primary business / payment model based on pay-once, keep forever. Monthly subscription should only be a secondary payment option. And monthly subscription should only apply to 6G. One possible business / payment model option: 1 - people still have the option of paying once, and owning that particular program for life and being able to use it whenever they want, even in 50 years time. 2 - a secondary option of monthly subscription that applies to 6G only, and customers that choose to pay monthly have access to all 6G programs / entire library of 6G programs, while their monthly payments / account are up to date. TL;DR - the current business model of pay-once, keep forever should still be the primary model. Monthly subscription may be useful as a secondary model, alongside the primary model. RE: Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3 - Shannon - 12-14-2018 The monthly subscription model has some serious drawbacks. I don't want it to be the primary model with those drawbacks.

Somebody paying every single month they use a program otherwise it doesn't work? Can you imagine the uproar that would cause? I mean as a customer even though I work for IML I don't support a monthly fee for a program compared to buying it outright as is already done and is done for absolutely everything else you can purchase that is similar to this. EDIT: It does sound like you're talking about a recurring fee forever, but if you're talking about a payment plan until it's paid that's different. But in the end it would end up with the same amount of money anyway.

I understand the various viewpoints here. The idea is to provide input to assist Shannon with securing his family's future as well as IML's. This in itself will free Shannon to focus more of this brilliance on furthering his tech. I was suggesting a recurring payment model as some of the most successful companies in the world have a recurring payment model. Think Netflix, Amazon Prime, your mobile/cell phone contract, your wifi, electric, gas/heating, fuel for vehicle, tv license (in UK), etc. Also there are many business software around that are licensed on a recurring payment model and the users pay the recurring for it as they see it as essential to their business. BASE/BAMM is a business essential Whilst it may not seem possible right now to go to a recurring model as it will break the mould - lets see what Shannon and IML is already doing...breaking the mould. Shannon is poised to break the mould... smash it to smithereens and hit the stratosphere by the look of things with 6G, particularly when you see whats been happening recently with FRM and word spreads. Recurring/membership/premium could be another industry first, as the tech will be so far ahead of the game. It may alienate some current customers, so another option to consider: some marketers charge a one off fee during a launch phase of a product/service. Thus gaining early testimonials and keeping current customers on side and then switch to a recurring model for newer customers to sustain development over the longer term. So, whilst it may have complications I feel it will be worth it and the recurring model is the only business model I am myself getting into. Love and Peace To All RE: Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3 - Shannon - 12-14-2018 The idea with a payment plan would be along the lines of, you pay forever, but you only pay a small amount. Maybe $10 or $20 a month instead of $300, $500, whatever. But that would result in a dramatic lowering of the perceived value of the product. Which isn't good for a luxury product. RE: Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3 - Omni3 - 12-14-2018 @Shannon Like I say, I'm putting it out there, ultimately its your call and how you best see your business. In any case with all us USLM'rs banging our heads together we can all reap the rewards of this beautiful journey...(rule 4, rule 4, rule 4) RE: Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3 - Shannon - 12-14-2018 (12-14-2018, 04:11 PM)Djinnni Wrote:(12-14-2018, 03:28 PM)Benjamin Wrote:(12-14-2018, 06:42 AM)Djinnni Wrote:(12-13-2018, 08:00 PM)Shannon Wrote:(12-13-2018, 04:18 PM)dissonance Wrote: Hmm I see.

RE: Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3 - Jake2015 - 12-14-2018 @Shannon Bro since we're discussing volume on my thread I wondered if there's any tech that can be created to allow the subs to works irrespective of volume as long as volume chosen is above zero?
