How to know when am I ready for my first Custom?

Questions and Comments
#1

Hello SubClub Custom Experts,

So far, I have been always only using main store titles and it works really well for me when I ignore the “max 3 titles rule”. Been on ZP since shortly after it was released. And it seems with ZP one can grow infinitely with each title, which means one could use the main store titles forever.

Question:

What are some indicators of how I can know that I am ready to build my first Custom?

What are the indicators of when, how and why I should switch over to a Custom from the main store titles?

Is a Custom all about building a more targeteted approach with the modules than what my current main titles stack is doing?

Is a Custom more effective and efficient with the right modules inside of it than a main store title?
If a Custom is more targeted towards my personal goals, does it mean that I will also get better results?

And/or is the idea of making a Custom the addition of special concepts to my mix, concepts that are only available via the modules and not inside the main store titles?

I hope the question is kind of clear the way I wrote it?
Thanks in advance for helping me understand.

There are some really interesting custom modules that I would love to have inside my stack, therefore strongly considering designing my very first Custom.

I’m not an expert with customs yet, but I’ve run one successfully for a couple of cycles and grew immensely in that time, so I’m answering nevertheless.
I started with SC 10 months after you and waited only 8 months to build my first, so I believe, you’re good to go as well.

What are some indicators of how I can know that I am ready to build my first Custom?

You got epxerience with some major titles, know recon, and how you react on subs. Understanding the basics of conscious Guidance is a bonus point, but not absolutely necessary.
I think it’s important to have a clear goal when building a custom. It can be big, like 2 Cores, an NWE module and 17 modules, including some Synergy modules. As long it’s focused on one goal, you should be good.

What are the indicators of when, how and why I should switch over to a Custom from the main store titles?

For me it was that I wanted to experience some special features that I found in modules but not in one or two Major titles.

Is a Custom all about building a more targeteted approach with the modules than what my current main titles stack is doing?

At least for me that was the case. I wanted a sub that helped me to find a job in sales and prepared me for the specific tasks. So I included Jobseeker, Voice is the Law, Tale of the Dragon, Carpe Vitam etc.

Is a Custom more effective and efficient with the right modules inside of it than a main store title?
If a Custom is more targeted towards my personal goals, does it mean that I will also get better results?

I grew in all objectives I had with the custom.
Name embedding alone grants you a big advantage ober store titles.

And/or is the idea of making a Custom the addition of special concepts to my mix, concepts that are only available via the modules and not inside the main store titles?

That’s also a point. I could have gotten most of what I wanted from store titles. But I would have needed to run more titles than you. Also I don’t know which titles contain the modules I wanted/ where they were mined from. Or if the modules are q- store exclusive and aren’t available in a main store title
So putting GM with Voice is the Law and lineage in a custom was just the easiest way.

I hope the question is kind of clear the way I wrote it?
Thanks in advance for helping me understand.

I’d say they are clear enough.

Just do it. As long as you can afford it without starving yourself or needing to get a loan.

I hope my answers can help you.

What I expirience is that I can lisen to a normal title after I had it in a custom and I get better results and nearly no recon

I just need a custom so that the Infos are coupled with my name

A while back i built a custom nick named the Fury it encompases 3 cores LOTS/Spartan and KB3 since then others have copied me and came back telling them how they feel younger.

I would push back a bit against the framing of this question:

It kind of subtly implies that there’s a kind of inevitable developmental push in the direction of running a custom.

“You’re not ready yet.”

“Now, you’re ready.”

I wouldn’t even frame it this way at all. Because people can and do have perfect and incredible experiences without ever buying one custom.

I think of it more like:

“In what use cases is it appropriate or optimal for me to run a custom subliminal?”

or

“When do I want to run a custom subliminal?”

or

“When might I need to run a custom subliminal?”

I resonate more , personally, with framings such as those.

In a way, the main store titles are customs. They’re just customs that you did not design.

And that observation more or less contains my opinion on the question.

When you feel the desire to combine elements differently than how they’re combined in the main store titles then you design a custom.

But then, practically speaking, how would you even properly freely this desire unless you were somewhat familiar with those elements and with how it feels to run and to process Subliminal Club subliminals?

So to boil all of this down, I’d say:

Once you have had some successful runs with main store titles and you feel familiar with some of the main titles and how your mind works with them, your imagination may start to explore other possibilities for working with them. At that point, you naturally may be drawn to experiment with combining different elements and working with other configurations.

The confidence that you already have in the main store titles will enhance your experience with the customs, and will enable you to make better choices about your program cores.

With the realease of Mind’s Eye and Alchemist Singularity my stack is back to 9 titles in total, and that is already the bare minimum. If I remove a single one of the 9, heavy FOMO and feelings of “betraying my personal goals” kick in… :sob:

Wealth Part:

  • G:M (needed for the NWE and wealth limiting beliefs removal)
  • RICH (needed to boost wealth manifestations)
  • True Sell (needed for my job)

Romance Part:

  • WANTED Black (needed for the women attraction part, as well as self love boost and looks boost)

Success / Genius / Fame Part:

  • Stark Black (main success title)
  • Inner Circle (needed because not covered by Stark Black)

Essential Boosters:

  • KHAN Black 4 (to make up for missing primal sexual energy in WB)
  • Alchemist Singularity (for more efficient reconciliation)
  • Mind’s Eyes (manifestation booster)

I have spend several hours with self-reflection on my goals, my FOMOs, my concerns, my worries, the potential dead ends of certain goals and still, I always end up with these 9 titles… :face_with_head_bandage: :confused:

I guess, I could merge these 9 titles into 3 customs?
A wealth custom, a romance-success custom and a booster custom?
But with customs, I would then have even more scripting to process because each custom would have additional modules inside of them… !?! :dizzy_face:

I have just started my first week of running 3 customs - been on sub clubs subs for a while so feeling up to it - starting off with mini loops. But yeah, couple of areas I want to focus on for a while so made sense to me to build with focused intentions. Actually running a cycle of EmpDaddy beamed up the inspiration to do this and my focus was clear on what I wanted to create.

My wealth custom is something that’s kind of like a ‘main title’ for me now, been running it so long now - only just rejigged it to add in some of the new scripts and synergy modules. I think I did get some recon (agitation) but running my sage immortal/minds eye custom cleared that up nicely into yummy expansion. EOG4 and RICH is in my wealth custom, ooof! That’s the magic right there, esp when you add all the other fun af fairy dust modules/ boosters etc.

edit: oh gosh, that wasn’t helpful! I feel you can but others may advise against it. I will report back if I lose my mind! lol

custom is less dense than 3 individual titles. They condense the script of the major when making it into a core a bit. That’s why one custom equals to one major subliminal. 3 customs would be better than 9 titles by far. They don’t actually put in full scripts of full majors there. Just enough to give you what they promise. Customs take a bit longer to work than majors but I would 10000% get customs in your case.

After reading this topic I had the realization that listening to Sub Club subs is like learning a new sport or skill:

The more you practice, the better you get at it, and more advanced things you can start doing.
