But you're still saying 'purchase', and my market sector is completely dominated by software piracy to the point where it's choking on sketchy and unreliable DRM. More like, 'new' marketing category: Trust Building Exercise. Attempt to give everything possible away, and see if social pressure can cause a lot of people to go 'yay!' and throw money. Hence the Patreon with literally no tiers above 1$, with at least half the patrons from 2$ to 10$ on their own volition. The trouble with that (speaking as someone who has some notion of marketing but chooses to undermine it) is, it's one of those power-law relationships where basically you have to be me to do it :) without ten years of sorta grassroots presence in the industry and a large number of successful products that perform well as software, you can't do it. You can't simply start up and have a Patreon work on those terms, even if your products are exactly as good, and this is a problem. Solving that would be a very big deal but it's a bit beyond me for now… |
