BeerWare

Tag: Software,Software DevelopmentStefan Buynov @

beerwareI read about a really interesting idea.
The fact is, people don’t like to pay for something, that they get for free. Keeping that in mind, what can you do if you offer something free of charge, and would like, nevertheless, to get some support for your efforts? Here are some arguments:

  • If you put a  Donate button on your site, there will hardly be many users, willing to give you money just because the button is there (although you did something useful, which they download).
  • If you put Google Ads on your site, the users would hardly click on the links there, as they just get used to ignoring them (you did too, right?).

Therefore, why don’t they buy you a beer ;) .

    Сега да не тръгнеш и ти да си искаш бира, и без това след clipboard tool-a не си изкарал нещо смислено :) Ако пък, да речем, изкараш, и хората ти подарят 1000 бири, да не забравиш че има с кой да ги споделиш, и само да съм разбрал, че си ги конвертирал в друга стока! :)
