Sometimes, revenue is free.

March 30, 2010

It’s often easy to get your head caught up in the clouds when starting a company, building a new products, or ogling over that new cloud computing service. What do you consider when making your final decision?

  • aesthetics
  • cost
  • performance
  • connectivity

Did you consider analyzing every data point, of every option, for all of these considerations?

The possibilities are exponential and represent how many possible places you could find revenue you didn’t know existed. If you’re a successful freemium startup, the answer to this question is yes. At least has been for Dropbox, Evernote, Pandora, and WordPress. It’s great how Evernote has their user costs down to the penny.

Is every line, pixel, and connection within your software tracked for profitability?
