Yeah but there is still phase 1 to think about before making income. Get enough box sales to just break even.

400k initial subscribers with 90% canceling the first month is a lot better than a small group of 20k that build up to 40k.

End result is the same number of subscribers but the 400k initial subscribers sure is a lot better.

If you are optimistic you can change the numbers from 4mil box sales down to 400k subscribers and 200k building up to 400k.

Huge bloated initial sales could mean 1-3 years of subscription fees.
