Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[lano1106]

Hmm I see.

Once FRM 4.2 is finished, Shannon is it possible to upload like DMSI 3.35 or something that the only new addition is FRM 4.2, or is that too much work? This sleep disturbance thing may be pretty significant of a thing for me, and others too maybe.

Building DMSI is no small feat. I do not have the time in my schedule to do that. Because of DMSI being a free upgrade and the cycle screwing with us as much as it has, I have a serious need to fund this business, and delays cannot happen. I have accomplished the sale, and the list of subliminals I have to build to finish the task at hand must go according to schedule or else. Therefore, you may find FRM 4.2 in LTU and later, but it will not be in 3.3-D, and for 3.3-C to be valid for testing, I cannot upgrade any part of it. The only difference it can have from 3.3-D is to have the H&C turned on.

So FRM 4.2+ will be in LTU, USLM4, UMOP3, E3, UMS, etc. - but unfortunately you will have to wait for DMSI 3.4 to see a FRM upgrade in DMSI.

That said, sleep disturbance is relatively isolated. If you haven't experienced it already, it is unlikely that you will.

Hey @Shannon

It occurs to me the best way to make a business a success is to generate recurring revenue... Say if you 'licensed' the use of each program for each user and charged a monthly licensing fee. What if you added a script similar to anti piracy that stopped the script from working if the current months fees had not been paid.

This way you can obtain a continuity income which will allow you to put the business on a solid financial footing and free up your focus to access greater amounts of your genius

You could for instance use this pricing model for the perceived expensive subs or for all subs. Either way it could provide a tremendous uplift for your business.

Hope you like this idea.

Have a great day

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm looking at various options for how to adjust and improve IML's business model. I'd like it to be win-win of course. We shall see what happens in the next year or two, but I would definitely like to get off the endlessly building new subs because we need to fund the business train. I plan to have a huge variety of titles in 6G, but I also will need continuity of income once I have done that. 6G is going to be the end of the road for development for a while, since I need to build out that huge library, and I need both 6G and that huge library so I can have the time to have and raise some kidlings.

I raised the point yesterday but

1. your idea to let people to buy back their discount to access future upgrades is brilliant. It is some form of risk-free trial period like what is offered by direct mail marketers. For the clients, it allows them to try products they wouldn't try without the initial discount. And once they are onboarded and hooked with the result, they are going become periodic upgrade buyers.

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.

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.

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...

IMHO, you need more traffic, more prospects... Not more products...
