I think that the idea of giving away something for free as a business plan will only work in music and other verticals which do not require you to provide support for the something. This has been a key point in the recent articles on the pitfalls of Freemium.
- bennesvig 16y agoThat is definitely a possibility. The trick is to find the right "free" product to give away. It has to have value, yet also not require a heavy amount of support.
- mredbord 16y agoDisagree for the most part. There's always something that can be given away for free: blog posts, free trials that lack support and require a paid upgrade for it (e.g. Magento), ebooks, contest giveaways, etc. If you can't give something away for free as part of your marketing, you're probably not thinking creatively enough.
