New Store Sections & Products, And The News

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Today it occurred to me, duh, people keep asking for new products, why haven’t you put them up yet? So I did. The result: One new product in the Children & Teens section (End Thumb Sucking) and two new store sections with about 25 new product titles in them all together!

The two new store sections are Hair and Hair 2, and these products deal with hair. Making it curlier, straighter, lighter, darker, blacker, blonder, browner, redder, and… making it fall out where you don’t want ot to be and resist going gray. Whew! Lots of new products. Enjoy!

I also removed a few titles hat did not seem to be selling well, and I am probably going to remove a couple more soon. Don’t worry though – most of these titles will be returning in the form of an exciting new series of products hat have a very different format. When they return, you’ll be able to say – if this doesn’t work, nothing will.

Naturally, our subliminals are excellent, but some subjects are harder to make happen this way, and the new series will be a very different approach. We think it will be very popular. The first title in this series will probably be coming sometime between 4 and 8 months from now, since we (mainly Andrew and I) have a lot of work to do getting the download store stocked and such.

The download store (http://www.subliminal-shop.com) is going to have a full line of downloadables, CDs and maybe even a line or two of other goodies as well. We plan to make it fully automatic for fulfilling CD orders, which will mean you get your orders sent to production instantly, and will receive your order as soon as is possible. This will make our order shipping times shorter and more consistent.

Of course we will not be automating customer support or custom subliminal generation. That will always be handled by a real live person, usually myself or Andrew for customer service and always me for custom subliminals.

We have also started an affiliate program on the Subliminal Shop website which I think is pretty nifty. We looked at a lot of options, and I decided hat the best way to get a good group of affiliates was to pay them well. There was some resistance within the ranks, but I pushed for it, and here’s what we have to offer:

Affiliates get paid a whopping 66% of all net profits for sales they are responsible for. That’s huge! That means you’ll be making over $9 for every title that sells using your affiliate code. At just 15 sales a day, you’ll be making about $50,000 a year! It really is nuts, but I fought for this because I know that good affiliates are worth it. However, I got my way with one caveat: We are going to review the affiliate fee structure in about 5 months and determine if it is doing well where it is. So get on over there and sign up as an affiliate and make it do well, because otherwise I won’t have a leg to stand on when the review comes around and I say “See! I had a good idea, giving the affiliates so much!”

The only thing we ask is that you not do anything illegal, immoral or fattening to get us sales. Or anything that would make our company lose credibility or respect from anyone. In other words, NO SPAMMING. We have a ZERO tolerance policy for affiliates guilty of spamming.

So that’s the news. Come back for more, as we’re putting up new titles all the time at the download store. Oh, and don’t forget that we have free samples of our work — give it a shot.

New store section & more news

Thursday, December 25th, 2008

Today I began building a new store section. This is a place where I intend to have free downloads. These will not be “samples” or some sort of partial or limited time downloads – these are the full version of the programs. You may download them for free and use them, but you may not sell them. I will probably be assigning some form of Creative Commons licensing to these programs and keep them free forever.

I am also contemplating having a “free title of the month”. These, if I implement this, will not be licensed under the creative commons in all likelyhood, but will be available for free download for that month. That seems like a good way to make things interesting.

I have decided to have this “Free Stuff” section for those of you who would like to try out my work and see if it works before buying it. I can certainly understand that sentiment.

There has also been on my mind question of how to make it possible for people to compare a “live subliminal” with an intentionally created “placebo subliminal”, as well as a “recording of silence”. I have had people conclude that I am “selling silence”, because they could not hear the ultrasonics. This experiment kit I am planning, which will include all three of these, should allow you to verify for yourself that subliminals do indeed work. I am not sure what I will have the live subliminal be of yet, but self confidence sounds good.

Obviously I wouldn’t be offering this if I did not have absolute confidence in my products.

December was a very hectic month, and continues to be busy. I’m working as fast as I can in a lot of directions, but as the car company used to say, “Quality is Job #1.” Quality takes time. So please bear with me.

I appreciate your patience and understanding, and thanks to everyone who has made December a great month for Ultrasonic Subliminals! Happy holidays to all!
