“If you ain’t paying for it, you ain’t the customer”. Excellent post from Alan Patrick (aka Broadstuff) on Chris Anderson’s Freemium model. Great writing:
“It was at this point that Mr Anderson revealed the Deus Ex Machina of this Freecosystem, the thing that actually keeps the wheels turning in this economic perpetual motion machine. “Thats for the Day Job”
The Day Job! Of course! Yes, the Day Job is what earns the Real Money. You then use your Free Time to make Free Stuff to sell on the Free World. But if your Day Job is making stuff that people that people are making for free, then what?”
