Why do you rule out depending on advertising? :/ Is income from advertising not real money?...
FWIW Mibbit makes real money, all from advertising at the moment. Premium paid accounts are planned, but it's a lot more work than just putting some useful adverts up.
- sabat 18y agoIt's real money but whether it's going to be stable is yet to be seen. That's why the curiosity.
- axod 18y agoIs anything stable? I haven't seen a good reason why online advertising would be hit harder than say subscription based saas. Fair enough to only consider one though :)
- catch23 18y agoadvertising seems more stable than subscription based. At least according to the Economist, advertising spend changes little during recessionary periods.
- jamesb43 18y agoI work in advertising, and we are seeing several clients greatly reduce their spend.
- axod 18y agoWhat sort of advertising? I can see "brand awareness" advertising being reduced, but why reduce any 'results based' advertising? There's not real reason to reduce advertising that yields a positive ROI - which is easily measurable these days usually.
- sabat 18y agoI'm not sure if advertising is stable or not, but there's been a lot of talk about how it's going to collapse (and how Google is going to be worth $2/share, doom-and-gloom). I think that's the reason for this guy's question.
