Do these revenue models need to be sustainable? I noticed 'Donations' is missing. An example could be Wikipedia, which afaik has donations as only revenue.
Some other opensource projects also fund parts of their development through donations, either from businesses or consumers.
It won't make you rich, but it might bootstrap you into some better revenue model.
Also awesome list, definitely saved for later :)
- kmfrk 14y agoWikipedia is in the list - under "Subscription", whatever that means. :) It says the last update was five days ago, so I take it that you missed it. Either that or the "last update" feature is borked.
- tinco 14y agoEh oh that's strange, I didn't expect it to be under subscriptions so I just glossed over it I guess.
- kmfrk 14y agoI can't really wrap my head around why the list is entitled (final). More like (abandoned). :P
- kjhughes 14y agoFred Wilson explains in his blog post, http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2012/11/mba-mondays-the-revenue-model-hackpad.html http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2012/11/mba-mondays-the-revenue-mode... that he wanted this "final" version to be edited by invitation only and wasn't sure how to make the change to the original version.
- Firehed 14y agoOdd choice of categorization. Subscription implies that if you're not paying you don't get access, in contrast to (recurring) donations where it's optional and more of a charity.
