Pricing tiers… omg.
by Franz
As a youth, you tend to think price is in some way related to cost.
It is not.
It’s easy to be taught this in your MBA course, it’s easy to think this is evil from your Marxism course, but I have found it really is the way of things. The answer to “how much is that doggy in the window?” is at best “what’s he worth to ya?” and at worse, “how much you got?” How much time, care and energy went into raising the bitch and birthing the puppy have nothing to do with it. (yes I choose that metaphor to create a credible excuse to curse. son-of-bitch-shit!)
Revenue and Dim Sum
by Franz
Tasty dim sum today, fresh shrimp - yum.
Figured the revenue model out for Concrete 5 today at lunch. We knew we were gonna give the source away, but hadn’t quite figured out how to offer a hosted one for a price. We wanted to make it easy for tired old developers like me to setup a site quickly, as you would a blog - and take the opportunity to make some money on the hosting side. We also think the elegant ‘demo turns into your install’ approach of so many web2.0 apps is nice.
