Roundtable Recap: October 13 – FREE Is Not A Business Model

At today’s roundtable, we had a chance to discuss a topic that continues to bother me endlessly – the Internet’s obsession with FREE.

MyStream
Richard Zelson, from New York, New York, discussed MyStream, a music streaming app that allows multiple people to listen to the playlist of one individual, serving, roughly speaking, the function of a headphone splitter. Richard is currently offering the app for free but will begin charging $1.99 for it in November. He currently has 30,000 customers. He asked if waiting until November to start charging was a good idea. I think he should start charging now. Giving stuff for free is a dangerous game, and it is difficult to sustain operations that have large numbers of free users. You then become dependent on outside financing, and that is a slippery slope. It is much better to grow organically with revenue. So Richard, please move forward with your plan to charge money for the value you offer.

The Anatomy of a Practical Genius

By guest author Gina Rudan

Practical genius is your jillion-dollar personal portfolio of brilliance.  It’s the secret code within you that only you can crack. But once you do, the possibilities are endless.

Contrary to the traditional beliefs around genius, practical genius is based on the truth that each of us possesses genius deep inside, and it’s just waiting to be activated and set in motion. You are capable of exceptional accomplishments in your work, in your community, and with your family and friends. That means you are the genius, not operating in the lofty, exclusive heights of science or culture, but right here, right now. >>>
