The last 2 days have been about the end of my free ride on the internet. Here is my thoughts on free services: If you intent is to give away something for free on the internet, there comes a time when you have to limit the number of people who can use your free service. If you can spend $100 a month providing this service and it cost $1 a user, stop at a hundred. Don’t go to 200 and then say to your self, “Damn, I’m spending too much money, I better start charging.”
Of course I never attended any business courses in college, maybe this is the way to get into business, get people used to using your service for free and when they are so entrenched that they can’t live with out it, charge ’em. I mean, it works for drug dealers, right?
