Now that I've gotten that out of my system:
BASE is bringing out my cold, calculating villain side. I think DMSI v2.5 threw my self-esteem into the fucking solar system, because I feel like an absolute god right now, and that same feeling is leaking out into my business dealings.
First, my SendGrid account got shut down because they don't want to deal with affiliate marketers anymore. Cool, I get it. However, I just paid $49.99 for a premium account like two days ago. They refused to refund the money, claiming that I'm not entitled to a refund because my account was suspended. In the past, I might've accepted that mistreatment, but today, I went a crusade to get my money back. And, I won.
Then, my business partner tried to lower my cut of an upcoming product launch to 15% from 25%, because he claimed he invested more money in the product. However, he's using one of MY products for the upsells. Long story short, my argument was that the front end price doesn't matter nearly as much as the upsells, because they're the money makers. You use a low front-end price to entice people into your funnel. So... $7 for the front end. Then, you price your upsells at increasing intervals. The first may be $12. The next, $17. All the way up to like, $97. Once people are in your funnel, they're inclined to keep buying. Anyway, he ended up backing down and we agreed on 20%.
Again, in the past I would've taken that deal. Now, I'm wheeling and dealing.
There's this distinct IDGAF feeling flowing through my minds. Oddly enough, women are more attracted to me on BASE + UM than they were on DMSI. NOW, please don't knock DMSI for this. My theory is this: DMSI did some serious internal work. In my mind, maximum sexiness is being a powerful, rich entrepreneur. And DMSI pushed me in that direction. Now that I'm running BASE, the two are acting synergistically. It's an amazing feeling.
I'm also generating ideas like crazy. Things that SHOULD be obvious. For example, I'm not the BEST at execution. I can come up with killer ideas, but I hate actually building the damn things. So... why not outsource product development too? I can probably get an entire product written for like $75, and then make at least $1500+ when I launch it.
That being said, tomorrow morning, I'm outsourcing the creation of a Kindle Training Guide. Gonna launch it in late November. Gotta be careful, I'm investing a lot of cash right now. Shit HAS to pay off.
