How much of business companies do you run? And especially in Audio? Let me guess.
NONE!
Thought so.
So stay the f away from "marketing rules" and "I am spewing a free consultation for you" - instead go earn money and buy the tools you want.
You can pretend and twist this but at the end of the day, you are just cheap.
Instead of patronizing amazing developers and pretending to be some kind of superficial "KVR forum product specialist" just go away and work on something real.
You are welcome. Cheers.

Well. I'm producer for more than 15 years. I have been freelancer and CTO in several companies. The technical part was always my strength, but business wasn't. That's why I started studying business, and that changed everything. At that moment, everything began to fall into place. You can always learn from anyone who crosses your path, no matter how simple it is, there will always be something that he knows and you don't. But I'm proud that I can learn from the best, like Jay Abraham. Currently I am starting my own producer business to help other musicians to get what they want.
If you didn't like my arguments, you can counterarguing. But there's no point in trying to discredit me as a person without even knowing me.
No, I'm not a billionaire. No, I don't make plugins. That doesn't mean that the same rules I use, can't be applied on other business.
And even if I dint knew what I were saying, my opinions should be respected. You don't like it, it's perfect, but I respect your opinion, and you should respect mine.
I didn't came here to make a fuss nor to "make a free consultation". I came to make visible other points of view that have not been taken into account.
I really feel bad because having such great products, they remain like a hidden piece that few people know. I'm in various groups with hundreds of producers, and when I told them about Cytomic none of them knew about it, and they didn't pay much interest either. However, it is common to talk about other companies, and especially when there are on sale. It's what I said before, no matter how good the product you offer is, you have to overcome the mental barrier that potential buyers have.
Fabfilter, for example, has become a standard for quality plugins. Why Cytomic, having in my opinion the best filter on the market, it's not so well known brand.
And what do you think will help a developer the most? Buy a copy of their product, or helping him to double it's billing in the next year. Time = money, and money = more time to make awesome plugins. In so many years we only have 2 and a halve plugins. They are awesome, but I'd love to see more plugins like that.
Anyway. I know little about you, but you seem a good guy. I don't know why you answered like that, but I'm sure if we met we will get on well.
About necro bump. I quoted that reply because is the first appearing on Google, nothing more. And you shouldn't be speaking for others, give your opinions on your own behalf. Good vibes.
Thanks for reading. Have a nice day.
(I have no intention of talking more about this topic.)
