First of all I genuinely appreciate your comments and interest in my work.
Pricing these products is extremely challenging. Too low and you don’t earn anything, too high and you don’t sell anything. IMHO prices should be higher but the sales are already too low to feel confident about it.
I definitely mistook the preorder interest as being representative of the actual market and that turned out to be inaccurate.
Plus with all these creative companies flocking to borrow every single one of my differentiating factors just gives consumers less of a reason to buy my products compared to anybody with a bigger following, and thus influence.
To be honest if sales don’t pick up soon this game is over.
Right now I’m facing losing absolutely everything to start this business, so the idea of ending up homeless over something that was supposed to improve the life for me and my family is pretty disheartening. I apologize in advance if I’m being too transparent, unfortunately this is the reality of the situation.
My orders are literally down 25% from last month so things are going the entirely wrong direction.
In general I basically see a collective undervaluing in a desperate attempt to “compete” with the tiny available market.
It’s kind of like sharing one medium pizza between 19 people.
Typing this one out really killed my mood so I’m just gonna walk away from the computer for a bit.
now I just leave it permanently plugged in - it’s essentially an old school corded home phone with a cracked touchscreen at this point lol.
It's nonlinear in my glass piece I was using it with and can't find it anywhere else either
