Sure - thats most of it. As a business you definitely want to get on the "auto-payment’ credit card processing revenue stream (the god of recurring revenue) if you can.
But ultimately if you’re not providing ongoing value people will cancel… so there is an inventive to keep on innovating and trying to provide more value to justify the monthly fee. Whether its worth it or not is something only you can answer.
Beth, re the Oura ring: Nearly two years ago I bought a used gen 2 Oura ring on ebay (I had purchased the ring sizer kit so knew my size). No subscription. Still using it – works fine. Battery life is still 2-3 days.
Hi Ricky. It’s still not available for purchase, but if you are in the US, the prices will be $2,799 for Queen and $2,999 for King and Cali King.
They are not a US based company, so this means others with different bed sizes will not be forgotten. They discussed needing to make other mattress cover sizes that are most common in other countries.
They are just starting to beta test sleep tracking, so they will ultimately offer it for those who want that feature. They just turned it on for me and I’ll be sharing with them how it compares to oura.
They will let me know as soon as it’s officially for sale so I can give my friends/community a heads up so you can snag one while they still have the 5 year warranty available (I think it’s for the first 100 customers)
Also of note $$$:
After my beta period is over, I think they are giving me a discount code (you know, because I’m such an influencer). I don’t know what it will be, but I’ll share it here.
And, as expected, I would get a small commission for each sale, however, I am not in this to make any money, and I’d like to help out all of you who help me so much, so if anyone here who is an active forum member uses it, I’m happy to send you my portion in order to make the ultimate discount greater for you. (Meaning, I’m happy to help anyone I know, but I’m not inclined to spend my time or take identity risk sending payments to random people who might just pop in here and found the code).
Beta testers:
They are open to some beta testers in other countries if they still haven’t met those quotas yet, so if you happen to be in the right country, I can make an introduction. They are full in the US, but in aprox 3 weeks, they said if I know a a couple other people that I think would be great testers (aka people I can vouch for and who are super opinionated like I am, which most of you are!), they might make room. If this interests you, PM me.
Thanks for finding out the information. Much appreciated.
Tech highlighted by MrBeast: Upside Foods (cultured meat), Colossal Biosciences (de-extinction), etc, all can be applied to longevity in some way.
$100 per sequencing. Great price.
What does the machine cost?
