I think she’ll get the 1500 subscribers. My only concern is growing is the audience.  I think I’ll subscribe, we will see.

And the 8-day free trial is super misleading. I actually came on to write. Like duhhh. It’s a free 8-days on content, stop being so nit picky, then saw the response and it’s not a free trial at all.

What have I missed that she needs 1500 to sign up?

I don't understand.  The website says "The price for membership is $0.00 now and then $6.95 per Month after your 8 day trial."  Does that mean if I sign up now I get 8 days free?  Or is the 8 day trial the 8 days until the show actually begins?  If so, that's very misleading.  I e-mailed them.  I will post if I get a response. 

This is the e-mail I sent:
I'm not sure what it means when it says you pay $0.00 now and then $6.95 per month after your 8 day trial.  Does that mean if I sign up now, I get 8 days free and we won't be charged until 1/26/18?  I'm confused.  

This is the response I received:
No it means you are pre-subscribed and you won’t be charged the monthly fee of $6.95 until the show goes live in 8 days…our first show if next Tuesday January 8th!!!!!THANK YOU for signing uppppppp!!!!!!!!!xxTay 

So, the "free trial" wording is totally misleading.  All they have to say is sign up now and you will be charged when the first show airs on 1/16/18.  In the e-mail response she even got the date wrong that the show is starting!!

This email annoys me so much. It is not hard to take a minute and write a professional email with correct punctuation and grammar. Let alone getting the information correct!!

According to the BB - around 50 of them have signed up, soooo 1450 to go!

I for one will not be signing up:
1. I don’t want to hear the same bullshit I’ve been hearing for the past 5 years
2. I listened mainly out of habit from my Sirius app - since she’s been gone I don’t miss it.
3. There’s not enough content to justify the fee - before you get on me: I make my own coffee at home, I clear over 150 a year but that doesn’t mean I’m frivolous with my money. Well, my expensive vices are fashion, stocks (Go Amazon!!!) and traveling.
4. I don’t believe she has been humbled or grew from this experience and I believe the whole show will be about ‘the victimization of Taylor’

And last but not least: I 100% believe once they have your credit card info it will be next to impossible to cancel. Do we really think anyone on her pin brained team knows anything about a billing cycle?....

You hire an e-commerce site To Handle the monthly payments they will charge the cards on the billing date and deposit the money into an account and they take a fee for doing it all. If you want to cancel at anytime you call a support number and end it.
Now I could be wrong but I doubt very much Taylor or her team is going to personally be running cards at various dates and charging people.

I can't get over the fact that she can't even get the freakin date right.  Ben ---100% agree with you on all points.  

Cindy looks like you need a fact check too - ACCOUNTANT🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Her Facebook support page is full of fake accounts.

Really? That's disheartening
 

 
Admin just approves everyone without checking accounts, tons could be removed. If you scroll the likes you will find many are fake with know profile photo or friends. Most of Taylor’s younger fans will be on instagram, Facebook is for old people now, I’m old I can admit it! The millennial’s gravitate more towards Instagram and Snapchat. Her insta followers will get more to sign up.

No, thank God!  But I use their data to produce my reports.  
I feel for you accountant's!  I like numbers, but I need more stuff like equations and drawings.
So glad I went into engineering.

Hawr-rible, i think you’re right on. I did a little calculation this morning and I think she needs a minimum of 1,500 subscriptions to be making back the money she likely lost in salary, after her production and hosts costs. I have no insider or entertainment knowledge, that’s just based on some of the info we’ve found online. Are there really 1,500 people who are going to pay right off the bat?

Boy I hope so for her sake, but it's sure not guaranteed, is it? Freelance entertainment careers aren't a get rich quick sort of thing, unless you land an amazing opportunity right off the bat. I just think a streamed radio show is not that sort of opportunity. But maybe it is! Only time will tell. 
 

 
I agree getting new listeners will be hard, but I bet she picks up a bunch from DnRs show on top of her loyal base. So much of her show is taking calls and real time news/pop culture that doing a live show only fits.  Terrestrial radio would not work way to censored. I like the idea of bring more shows on with them like Emma’s and few others then have the app that allows you to get them all for one price.
I’m seeing very cool things coming from this honestly.
Taylor needs to get some business people around her and someone that is good with social media.
If she plays her cards right this could be a great opportunity. I’m pulling for her not to fuck this up!!!

 

Other than cussing, what makes her show unsuitable for terrestrial radio? I don’t know if I’ve been listening to SiriusXM too much or if I just can’t think of what she talks about that is too edgy.

I don’t think i could make it as an engineer- too many variables! For the most part with accounting, I can be sure I’m right- either the accounts balance or they don’t. 😋

OMG Karma- 95% of why I come to this board is because of the images you post. I don’t know where you find them but they are HILARIOUS! Thanks for always hitting the spot at just the right time! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Honestly, she needs more of an online presence. It’s easy to do an Instagram Live while walking around the city. Go Live from the We Work Offices. Show us behind the scenes. Post more photos being out and about around the city. The weather is going to be a lot warmer in NYC this week. Get out there and show us that you’re living your best life in an amazing city. Go to the Fashion week events. Do something!!! I loved listening back in the day when she didn’t just sit home every night. I also feel like she cared more about the way she looked. She made an effort to show that she was fashionable. How can someone in their 30’s and working in entertainment, not know much about the internet??? TD is a photographer.. she should be educated in social media, technology, etc.. we photographers have to be these days! So why can’t she help TS? I just don’t get it. She is better off trying to start a YouTube channel. She could at least make money off of Adsense! Then again, that requires hard work, motivation, dedication, and time. She wants instant fame. It’ll never happen!

 
First—-Welcome Nrg-photog! Glad to have you!

Second—- You are absolutely right and have just said what has been repeatedly written and practically begged of Taylor since this board started! What seems so simple and easy to everyone else, and like it could possibly be so successful for her (what her fan base wants), is either a challenge or something she is just flat out choosing to ignore. You’d think she would pick the “no brainer” route but nope...we get the IG stories from bed with the childish filters and duck lips saying a whole lot of nothing.

My hope is that 2018 leads her in a new direction and perhaps she will finally start to listen to different people advising her. Maybe she will grow and learn from her experience and become a better person.

I hope so, too- let this new beginning lead to a better show and career. But I don't think it's fair to blame TD for anything- we all know how stubborn TS is. Can you imagine trying to give her ideas and have her listen the first time out? On her FB Live yesterday she even said she had to apologize to TD after the filming of the videos for the website because she was such a beast to her while filming them. Her poor girlfriend can only help so much; you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink, ya know?
 

I think it's really a shame that she hasn't realized the opportunity she had at Sirius.  Other than the Jenny McCarthy show, there really isn't any "women's" programming.  At least not that I have found.  Jenny Hutt is fine in the evenings, but no good in the mornings IMO.  I wish she would have put in the work and made the show great when she had it and followed all the rules so she wouldn't get fired.  Now I'm sure she will play the victim.  It's obvious from her tagline "get the show back that was taken from you."  Someone called her out about this on IG saying it makes her sound bitter and she commented "I am bitter."  How about taking some responsibility for your situation and working hard to improving it.  And then making the next thing you do better than ever!  I just don't know if this new venture is going to be that.
