Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Shannon]

With my marketer eye, I have learned that market is sometimes very unpredictable. No models can fully and accurately predict the market reaction to a new product launch.

You will sometime get unexpected success and unexpected flop. It is part of the game it needs to be accounted for...

Also, if there is something that I have learn is that the 2 big markets in the self-help niche is anything that is related to sex and/or money.... You can't go wrong with these 2 niches...

You may have noted that I have been focusing on sex based releases a lot this year, for exactly that reason.  Orgasm Enhancer, etc. But even that has been met with lukewarm responses.  And the next release of a money focused program is either going to have to be UMS as a single stage program, or will be UMS as a six stage set, which will take me months to complete.  It's really too complex to release successfully as a single stage program, so... that kills me on timing, especially since I still have to finish two more stages of LTUv6 and build more programs for release as new options.

I'm doing the best I can right now, but it's just a challenging time.  People around the world have less money free to spend, because their jobs are impacted.  There is only so much I can do in the direction of sex or money that can be done in less than months of work at a shot.  I'd love, for example, to build something like Penis Enlargement finally... but to really make that work correctly it will most likely require 2-3 months of work, even as a single stage set.  I don't have that kind of time to work on just one program right now.

With PE (or "the Male Enhancement Protocol", as I will probably be calling it in the future) it is easy to make it seem to work, but to make it actually do what you want it to do requires a much more challenging approach.  It requires highly specialized scripting and a lot of focal points that all work together synergistically in exactly the right ways.  That is why it will most likely take so long to script.  I haven't simply built it  and released it regardless because I don't want you guys to just seem to get results, I want you to actually get the results you paid for.  This sort of complexity is why I have held off on doing a lot of interesting titles I would love to work on.  It's a matter of how long it takes to build correctly, vs how much time I have to build it correctly in most cases.
