Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Shannon]

  Things have been challenging recently to the point that for the first time in the history of the company, it doesn't seem to matter what I release, there's not much interest.  So time to pull out the big guns. 

Time for the Affiliate program implementation! I would totally sell the shit out of your subs, make us both a fortune 

I have suggested this long time ago, because I am not sure if Shannon or his team use advance marketing strategies where you target open minded people who would actually buy subs via different social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook. And if you guys are not doing this then you definitely missing on the gold mine.

And its not hard to implement, you really have nothing to lose Shannon. It's a digital product so whatever the %. You will be getting more customers either way

We tried an affiliate program.  The scammers burned us so badly that I'm about 99% sure that will never happen.  Taxes, logistics and making sure your affiliates don't pull scams on you and/or your customers to make a buck is almost impossible in this case.  We have discussed this multiple times on the back end.  The only way it would happen is if Andrew and I personally agreed to have the person be an affiliate, and their marketing was personally approved by us.  But even then, there are gargantuan hurdles in the way that have nothing to do with affiliate marketing.  And those are out of my hands.

Those same hurdles are why we don't advertise on Facebook or Instagram right now.  Working on them - but for the time being... out of my hands.
