There is a new comment on the post Infinity 2 Global Review: Global casino rev share?. behindmlm/companies/infinity-2-global-review-global-casino-rev-share/ Author: Ing Comment: A few points: First, the Songstagram app exists, because I installed it. The first versions of Touch and Songstagram needed (and are getting) some tweaks, but what tech product doesnt? I am unfortunately old enough to remember the disaster that was Windows ME.(shudder) Second, I cant speak to the gaming as I havent played the games, but I do know that 2 other revenue sources are in the works, including a physical location. One of these sources, I assure you, grabs the worlds attention and income. It just did in fact (hint: Argentina) and again (hint: Minneapolis) and will so again (hint: Green Bay). Year after year after year, like clockwork. It should be Saturated! according to the Sages here in their orthodoxy. AND YET, it is not. All of this navelgazing or breathless recruiting assumes the world economy will not collapse, but then so do all of your incomes and jobs and all moneymaking ventures everywhere in the world, at this point. We are all dancing on air in this economy: dont kid yourself. Franchise owners drop half a million and hope they will break even on their little place in a year or 2: whining over someone elses spent $5000 is ridiculous. What are you , their mothers? When the whole world economy ponzi scheme comes crashing down as China and Russia decimate the dollar, your safe legitimate jobs will crash just as hard as i2g might; the difference is, they will have a lot more to convert into gold and ammo and pads overseas before then. The checks are not fake. Whining about the people hyping an MLM plan is like whining about the people dancing in front of your deck chair on the Titanic. Youre just mad no one wants to dance with you. Hold your breath...thats gonna come in handy any minute now. With regard to the Songstagram situation, (and I am not speaking for the company-no infringement is intended nor implied) my understanding is the name had to be changed slightly to avoid conflict with a similarly-named entity. Also it was decided, I am told, to tweak the product a little more before releasing it publicly through those musicians mentioned above. And for all of you snarking, Whatsapp just was bought by Facebook for $19 billion, and LINE (very popular in Asia, and I also have one of their apps) is doing a $10 billion IPO. NOTHING downloaded is worth $19 billion. Go ahead and pat yourself on the back: youve earned it. How sage you are for doubting! Good for you. Had only those fools listened to you, they would have been saved! Perhaps they cry themselves to sleep, margaritas in hand. Since I probably cant post a link to the business article (hint: rhymes with Morbes), Ill just quote it here: LINE is further along than WhatsApp in one crucial area: revenue. While the Line app is free to download, its first quarter revenue tripled from the prior year to $144 million. That sales growth comes from games and in-app purchases of virtual items like stickers. Line also charges companies and celebrities monthly fees for “official” Line accounts that can send promotional messages. Now look: I dont understand WhatsApp, nor Line, nor do I care to. I never heard of either one...UNTIL I SAW THEM ON A PHONE. You and I are not their market, and yet here I find myself having used both. How did that happen? BECAUSE THEY KNEW IT WOULD AND MADE IT HAPPEN. What matters is that THEY UNDERSTAND HOW TO MARKET TO THE SMARTPHONE GENERATION. And how do they make money? Games which are stupid online wastes of time. In-app purchases which are stupid online wastes of time. Getting people to pay money for the privilege of texting and messaging, which are stupid online wastes of time. We all know this, yet most of us DO THESE THINGS ANYWAY. And what does one see in the i2g music app? In-app purchase banners. Contests to win a chance to sing with celebrities. And the ability to CHARGE MONEY for people to download that song you recorded and uploaded (or that personal training class video you recorded for your clients). Not subject to what Apple or Google wants you to pay. Along with tracks that can be bought and downloaded right now. They do have actual songs in there, and also background music versions with the vocals removed. Will some people produce crap? Sure, just like on YouTube. And then there is, say, Pentatonix, who never got a single minute of major market radio airplay, yet built their YouTube subscriptions into soon-to-be 6 million people and parlayed their online and NBC Sing Off gigs into a WORLD TOUR. Far more people watched them online than ever would be caught dead staying home to watch NBC. So yes, for you and I and the worlds curmudgeonry, this all makes no difference. And Facebook looked like crap in its first iteration, too. Maike and company are betting that the economy will wheeze along long enough that they can cash out on millions of people, online, tuning YOU out. In the words of the kids in the station wagon backseat, Are we there yet? No. But I think theyre right.
