Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[AbundanceCH]

If I might add something to the conversation. There are two reasons in my opinion sales are slumping. Part of it, like Catman pointed out, involves the fact that some of the latest programs haven't been tested the same way 5G was, and the sales pages include a disclaimer along the lines of "We won't know the full extent of what this does until you use it." That encourages people to wait until other people report on its success.

The other issue is time. Many of the most desirable programs are now running around 6-8 months of use time. Some people like me, who have the disposable income and interest to experiment with subliminals, already have around 2 years of backlog of pre purchased programs to work through. E4 for example is going to take me until May to complete, and it makes no sense to buy the latest thing until I've had a chance to assess how that went.

I know in previous years @Shannon said he hoped to get 6G programs to start showing effects within hours rather than days and have a shorter use time. No idea if that's still considered possible, but being able to work through a subliminal faster would no doubt stimulate sales.

I’ll chime in with my 2 cents.

I agree. Me personally I’m waiting for the technology to improve to where I don’t have to listen more than 6 hours a day and the recommended usage is 3 months.

Most people sleep between 6-8 hours a day.  Because of the ASRB we now have to be careful not to break that.  So the best way is to listen is while we sleep but if a sub requires more listening than your average sleep time and then you have to go to work that causes problems.

The optimal for most people is play it while you sleep and forget it and when you wake up to go to work you’re already done.

Also so many subs are 6-8 months.  I think most people wouldn’t mind a long time commitment if a sub requires short daily listening time and maybe 2-3 days a week max.  

The other issue is pricing.  I think most people don’t like having to keep buying new versions every couple of months at full price.

Shannon should study this and see if maybe an update program would be better for him.  Pay $20-30 per update and see what would get him more customers investing than paying full price again.

Last but not least is lack of exciting titles.  UMS for me has been the most exciting title in a while.  There’s so many healing titles but not enough stuff to deal with things like money and other things people want.

For example the penis enlargement sub and the manifest your perfect whatever.  Everyone wants these subs but Shannon says they would take a long time to make (I don’t think he’s said the technology is not strong enough to make them work).  If sales is what he needs why not focus on one of those subs for 3 months, make it and maybe release another one quick sub using the Skelton script (like the eyesight one) to keep sales going while he works on the big seller?

One advantage I see with the MYP subs is that Shannon once he makes one with the latest technology he could quickly make a myp blonde gf, or redhead gf or so many of the other titles in the MYP catalog.  So even more sales.
