Making Money from Clipperz
JoeK
read your pitch document - there must be some middle ground between
donation-ware and venture capital ?!
Don't get me wrong - I am all for you taking it huge and the ideas
seem exciting - but there must be some way of getting some money from
your existing userbase.
Perhaps Clipperz is free for the first year of use, and then a one-off
registration fee of $US30. One year would mean people would have a
pretty good idea they the product worked for them - and they may even
have grown too attached to walk away!
Or perhaps a free version and a pro version with extra features.
Anyway, good luck with it.

price and would scare away the existing userbase. There is also the
issue of the community edition - as far as I know (I'm not a laywer)
there is nothing stopping me running my own clipperz and undercutting
whatever clipperz.com charge.
Have you thought about a corporate edition? I'm an IT consultant and
often clients just store their passwords in an Excel sheet, that often
end up uncontrolled and distributed around IT support...
Best wishes,

Our current strategy is quite simple:
- keep it free for end users (and asking more explicitly for donations)
- launch a paid corporate edition both as hosted service and a
downloadable package
The tricky part of the above "business model" is how to sustain
ourselves while working on the "gamma" and then on the "corporate"
version of Clipperz. Currently we are trying to juggle flexible
consultancy jobs with Clipperz development, but a surge in donations
would make things much easier!
Could it work?
Thanks!
Marco
