Well, Jason Calcanis has written something about startups and the economy.
One of his suggestions is that if your company doesn’t currently have a revenue stream, it needs to get one, like yesterday. Or at least by Monday.
I propose a Rails plugin, which we will call acts_as_monetized. It will automatically track your new users, and after a 30-day trial period will stop letting them use any models which include act_as_monetized until they start paying you.
The age old formula will now be:
- Create application.
script/plugin install acts_as_monetized- Profit!
You’re welcome.
(Building something people are willing pay you for will not be included in the plugin.)
