appreciate the effort
In the event he altered the SS dont you think he'd just do a a/s raise for the 3rd time?
Of course. Plus theres paid advertising options. And our very own 800 lb gorilla, Markiplier. All they'd have to do is put the digital versions of Markiplier comics on Powfolio and ask him to mention it on youtube...and boom...either brand new ones or after a certain amount of time elapse after the physical Markiplier comics begin going out this month. Itd be an extremely high conversion rate since it's free. Remember, 40% of the traffic that went to zwagbox.com came from youtube where he did 1 or 2 brief mentions....so if it's free most of those ppl would likely download it.
There's tons of untapped firepower....dont worry.
Between 1,000 and 5,000 actually. They just show the minimum of each bracket as the milestone. I posted a picture of the bracket system on the fb investor page fyi a while back as a comment. And consider that the android market is less new app friendly than iOS.....we sat at 11-15 in the category, ahead of all other comic apps for a long time there, at least a month (unfortunately ios doesnt show #s).
You need not worry. They've not really pushed it or advertised it much yet. There is an extremely important update yet to come that will add premium content and subscription options. Plus im sure they wanted to increase content as much as possible before the push....which i'm thinking will be in july and maybe during/right after comic con.
no conditions on the buy order, although perhaps I should have put em there. This has happened to me before....I think it depends on the MM you go through...but, how is it determined which MM has priority?
then why am i getting passed over for shares when my GTC bid at .0001 got partially hit yesterday? shouldn't i be first in line? .....i effing hate this MM bullsh*t
The amendment to the filing about an hour ago indicates that Lucas Hoppel owns 0 shares now. I just skimmed it.....didn't see a date, or explanation of the amendment. The explanation for the amendment is obviously a change in share ownership......but, I didn't know that such a thing was necessary to do. Perhaps a courtesy filing...Hoppel isn't scum of the earth Asher or anything like that so maybe...
100% False. Show me the link. Ik what im talking about
Uhhhh....make $ and show it on filings. All sdcc hype would do is provide a flip opportunity....itd just come back if thats all there was
Mark bought $150,000 in restricted z shares (non-dilutive) for super voting rights. Plus $50,000 in common shares on the open market for .0016-.0017.
That isnt what happened.
Just gotta get some FULL quarter financials out for zwagbox. And hopefully Mark does monthly unboxings. And get current so we can see the $
Lots of faith....i just have so many shares already, i told myself im bidding the last bit of $ im willing to spend n sitting the 1s......
Nope. Im at the very front of the line at 1s
sell me your shares duke!
just need to get current and get it out of the way. that is the shadow hanging over this thing. would be ideal if we were about to see the 10K on November 30 instead of a partial quarter but hey w/e.....
Theyve already got Image comics on board. Whatever happens, there will be a "premium" comics feature added alongside the subscriptions........its anyones guess exactly what that means.
Im excited for both....but i cant get $$ signs out of my eyes as i watch zwagbox
that would be huge...but theyd be cannibalizing their own apps so im not so sure about that one.....i guess there are ways to make it work tho...
Ipsy comparison:
Some things I just looked into regarding Zwagbox growth potential. Comparison to early phase Ipsy and Michelle Phan:
1) The first Ipsy subscription box went out in November 2011 (It was called myglam then).
2) At the time she started, she had less than 2 million youtube followers. Markiplier has around 13.5 million now to start with. Michelle Phan now has 8.6 million subscribers.
3) In ~10 months, the number of subscribers grew from nothing to 100,000.
4) The youtube platform and monthly "unboxings" vastly outperformed longer established and better funded Birchbox. Proving the power of youtube as it pertains to subscription boxes.
5) According to alexa.com, 40% of traffic to zwagbox.com is from youtube. Remember, that he has only done one plug at the end of one video in May. Compare that to the much lower traffic rate from facebook where Mark has posted numerous times on top of paid advertisements from red giant. The shear force behind his youtube channel is IMMENSE as it pertains to gaining subscribers for Zwagbox. I can only hope that REDG does an "unboxing" every month.
Discussion: The ipsy boxes cost $10 a month, while Zwagbox costs $16-20 a month. Also, Michelle Phan's audience is very specifically interested in beauty products. Whereas, Markiplier's audience is slightly less directly related to Zwagbox's contents...although still very much interested in the same category and are of the ideal demographic.
...While the lower price and slightly more directly interested audience of Michelle Phan gave her some advantages in growing subscription numbers so fast, the huge advantage in subscriber numbers and video views that Markiplier has at the beginning of Zwagbox should more than make up for the difference. (It's kind of hard to say the lower price is an advantage because in the end the $ coming in is what matters...so let's call that a wash)
I personally feel that Zwagbox has as big an advantage as any subscription box has ever had at startup. I think we will be blown away at subscriber growth (if they even share it...they said they wouldn't, but then busted out the 10,000 number so idk). The key is to do "unboxings" every month...it is essential. Basically 5 minutes of video per month results in millions more dollars per year imo.
After its latest round of funding, Ipsy is valued at 500 million dollars and is in talks to IPO on the big boards...........REDG management has only themselves to stop them as long as Mark is on board and willing.

Ain't no small thing: "#?PowFolio? now has well over 1000 titles, 460k pages in 11,000 books! All free! http://www.powfolio.com/app"
Powfolio on Android achieved its first 1,000 unique downloads approximately 8 to 9 days after launch...without any significant push or advertising that I'm aware of (I think they're waiting until the last big update is done...1 to 4 weeks??). They now sit somewhere between 1,000 and 5,000 downloads.
...adding content FAST. "Premium" content is said to be included in the next major update that has subscriptions as well.
I have a strong feeling they have a surprise planned....or at least they plan to make a huge splash somehow unexpectedly.
that would be a good choice. but, seems to overlap somewhat with isen and aimee in terms of profession. Let's not marry the man until he delivers for us. That's one reason I'm way higher on Strom and Eng...they already delivered huge and in good time. True pros right there
1) For Mark and Benny, they each paid $150,000 to get those 5 million Z shares a piece. The Z shares are able to be sold at .03 and protected from stock splits. Essentially, the Z shares are for the purpose of attaining the voting majority whenever necessary. Z shares have 100 to 1 super voting rights...so 5 million z shares has 500 million shares worth of voting power. They built in the sale price etc in order to have an out with that money if necessary and I don't blame them. Before someone says it, the terms are not for screwing anyone over, and I'm not sure if the terms are set up in such a way that'd be possible anyway. Isen and Aimee paid for their Z shares with the rights to several films and other intellectual property. I look for the last 2 BOD members to purchase or trade for their Z shares at some point in the future...one such occurrence would be any stock split (i've already made it clear that I think it will be beneficial and after toxic debt is gone). Remember too that there is a 7th BOD spot that has yet to be filled...I think part of Mark's terms were that he had the rights to appoint the 7th. One would assume it'd be his brother who already works with REDG. But, I really hope either Rick Strom or Michael Eng join....no sure how realistic that is tho.
2) There are very strict rules for when insiders can buy or sell stock. They can get in really big trouble and even go to prison if they buy on "inside" info that is not public...such as just before the surprise launch of "something". Since the filings are not current, I can't imagine them being able to make an argument saying they ethically bought stock right now. I won't pretend to know the exact details of the law on that...I'm sure it is very boring and complicated.
3) The BOD will have the rights to reward themselves with stock options and gifts etc. Presumably that means if they are successful and get things in proper working order. So I imagine they will reclaim some % of ownership over time via those means.
Do you think that the typenex warrant is on the balance sheet as debt? it's not an obligation for anyone to do anything. plus, they technically have to buy shares before they can make a profit on the transaction rate. i say it's not on there....
it also serves as a platform for him to branch out. it's true he probably has enough money for the rest of his life already....but no one wants to watch a 45 year old balding man with a beer gut ramble on about video games ya know...he's gotta set himself up to grow and expand into other things. redg can help him do that and they aren't going to hardball him on contracts like a walmart-esq bigshot jacka**. He strikes me as the sort of guy who likes feeling appreciated and likes to do business on a more personal level. not to mention work with people who will embrace the free w/ ads, and charity thing.
Just concerning myself with monitoring the o/s and any remaining debt, and executing on zwagbox n powfolio. Just cuz there wasnt trading doesnt change a thing......we are going no where fast until we get financials and current. And so that we are clear, i consider up to .002 to still be "no where".....i guess that would be a flippers wet dream tho...and a nice profit for me too but im not gna sell myself short.
Zwagbox is going to effing erupt peeps. I feel strongly about it.
agree on voiceover acting. although I dont know if redg would get a piece of that or not. i cant imagine anyone outside of morgan freeman and james spader get much $ for voice overs lol
Theres always indirect involvement via his character
He cant push every little thing. It would cheapen and/or dilute his effect. They must only use him on the big ongoing stuff...primarily when his comic character is involved, and usually when some degree of charity is involved. REDG must protect his image just as much as he himself would, as it is mutually beneficial. Although we must not talk about him as if he is a foreign enitity....he is officially part of management (BOD) and a large shareholder.
How was it related
On android, now in excess of 1000 downloads in such a short time.
high ratings....slowly getting installs. However, I think they are waiting for the updated version and comic con to really push it like they can. also not counting out a markiplier mention as some point soon. i feel that android is not as friendly to new apps as ios is.......giver er time. ppl love it...just need more discovery. truthfully, zwagbox should grow WAY faster out of the gate imo. And that's okay, bc REDG owns 100% of zwagbox.
The note was to be paid out in 5 tranches. It may be not have been fully paid out. The timelines dont match up correctly
I disagree on the notes
Prime placement too next to the big boys
Excellent
you're welcome
