Re:Pay-as-You-Go Is the Best Pricing Model for Small Businesses on Tuesday January 28, 2025 @01:18AM (#42849422)
Pay-as-you-go has several clear benefits especially for startup pricing model. There’s a very low barrier to entry for customers, and offers them more flexibility around the products they want and when they want them.

Why it is essentially good for startup pricing model

- Smaller barrier to entry - No commitment - Better cost-per-use

A customer doesn’t need to commit to a prescribed plan and get charged on a monthly basis. They just pay once for a product or service and then start using it. It works well for products that are needed infrequently.

Consumers don’t have to make a commitment up front and can budget accordingly. Pay-as-you-go works for well in regions like Africa and I think that is why some international businesses struggle to gain market in certain region.

Exactly, doing the same as well. Easier to keep your options open.

Hello,We have been working on this product for about 8 months and luckily, everyone seems to be quite connected to the idea as it was solving a painful problem but due to the way we approached our solution, it was totally impossible to monetize the service.We are in the process of pivoting the service completely to a different target group while keeping the same logical/concept of our solution....

Re:No One Fails Anymore – Everybody ‘Pivots’ on Tuesday August 29, 2017 @04:35PM (#15127400)
Exactly and this should become a mantra for startups to follow, knowing that there is no miracle but hard work and strong flexibility for change/pivot when necessary

No need to constantly email anyone for dead products but the gallery is a very good idea.
Re:What Should Happen to People’s Online Identity When They Die? on Friday August 18, 2017 @10:53PM (#15051387)
This is a very important topic, in fact, I was almost making a service that would somehow help people share their online identities/access to their next of kin if such incident should occur.

Unfortunately, the feedbacks wasn't so good, I had to shut it down.

I don't think any SINGLE social media company can solve this.

Except the world is built around business and business needs to make money and making money is by making product development faster and simpler.

Re:Coursera raises Series D on Wednesday June 07, 2017 @04:28PM (#14509616)
This doesn't come as a surprise, all these money-making companies that intend to disrupt education should be closed down if they're as equally as expensive as going to a state university

I should have raised this issue long time ago but why should I do so, after all its not like they're paying me to fix their shits.
