Okay to encourage the competition here a little bit, how much do you think you will be able to make per month, after the first quarter release?

To be honest because of my schedule I’m guessing only $30-45 a month for me.

So lets see that is at least $300-450 worth of purchases, now assuming that the initial investment for a player that uses your FM handle is a single kilo ($30), then you only need 10 players to buy a kilo a month for the low end or 15 for the high end.

Honestly, the money is just a bonus for me. It’s going to be way to much work convincing people to use my FM handle just so i can get $3 per person. The first year that FK is released, we are going to be making nothing. It’s going to take time before anyone really sees themselves earning anything. Like Jacques said, you need 10 people in a month to buy a Kilo to make $30. Thats $360 a year. Not a whole lot if you ask me. Once FK is in its second year, then you can really start earning something worth bragging about.

You also have to count on those 10 people buying something every month.

In any case, when I hear about a release date, I’ll immediately quit my job.

I’m looking at getting just enough so that funding my Fight Klub card collecting won’t be quite so expensive. Not enough to pay for my cards, but enough so that I can afford to buy other things. (or at least get cards more often, or whatever)

I figure, if I get my friends to play and we just play at a connector location once a week with flyers out, then we could make a few bucks for nothing, and I agree most of us will probably just reinvest the money back into the game.

I plan on striking a deal with my connector that I play there once a week to promote the product if they use my name to sign up people when I’m not there as well. So I’m planning on 5 people buying something from me directly and 10 people buying something through my connector on average. Who knows, if it takes off, I could be seeing more then that from the connector relationship. It’s a win/win for them, no investment for them and I get a few bucks for playing.

Hopefully enough to pay for the game. I don’t expect to make a killing, but if I get enough to support a subscription, sounds great to me. Of course, I wouldn’t mind making a bunch of money. I have some ideas on how to do this thing, but I can’t know how well they will go for sure until it happens.

If I could make enough to support a subscription and maybe a little extra I’m not sure I’d be incredibly surprised, but I’m not quite expecting that. I mean the trick isn’t just getting people to join and buy a few kilos, it’s going to be to keep people buying kilos month after month and then year after year as well as getting new people.

I expect to turn a pretty sizeable chunk from this. I live in Minnesota, home of the Minnesotans. We’ll try just about any card game you throw at us. It shouldn’t be difficult to find some loyal protégés upon whom to bestow my wisdom (and handle).

Well I’m not doing this for the cash. So I’ll probably have my friends use each others handles down the line, and I’ll mentor them all anyways. Thus everybody gets a little slice o’ the pie… :)

My goal is to get enough to buy the new FK cards with the money I earn.

Anyone know when they will start assigning people to the founding mentors? I’ve been gone all summer so I’m kinda out of the loop.

After the new site goes up. So no not yet…

Thanks WD

To be honest, the whole 10% thing is really of no interest to me. I’m going to be recruiting players so that I have someone to play against, plain and simple.

The game’s already so cheap compared to every other CCG on the market that the 10% thing really just seems like a gimmick to me.

See I’m occasionally helpful! :p

the 10% return may be a gimmick, but i believe its going to really drive the growth of the game. Once again, if the gameplay is solid, FMs, Mentors, and other players know that only their support of the game will keep it running, and if they’re getting cash back, every couple months or so, even if its just 30 – 40 bucks, its going to be a pleasant reward that gives them ownership over the game’s success.

Alot of people say its not a big driver on their decision to get into the game - i’m the same way, but if it really takes off, and we’re all getting a check in the mail for $15$25 every month or so … hell, that pays for the beer and chips at the FK party at my house that weekend, you know?

Maybe… :-P

I’m just hoping there are several rich kids under me who are all buying subscriptions. That would make myday. :-D

The real money maker is subscriptions. Its the subscriptions you want to sell to your “mentees”. Its recurring revenue. Like the phone company, they come in, set up your line, and walk away, every month you gotta pay em.

Very similar, if you can get them to buy a subscription, then you’re guaranteed some nice coin.

I agree. Subscriptions are the thing I’m going to try and sell.

It would be bad-ass if you got enough people set up on subscriptions that yours was already paid for each time around. All it takes is 10 mentees on subscription.

Hell yeah. When I make my own custom message I’ll include a whole paragraph or two on subscriptions. ;-)

Don’t go overboard… you’re custom message should be short sweet and to the point, not more than a paragraph maybe two tops. Don’t want them to skip reading cause you’re rambling on… that said a blurb about subscriptions would not be out of line.

Short and sweet, huh? It could be something threatening like, “Join Fight Klub or I’ll murder your family.”

not the most welcoming feeling in the world… but hey, whatever works, right?

Greet them with a shotgun and say: “Buy or die.”
