There are 3 business models for apps.

1. Free with ads
2. Subscription
3. Transaction fee

The common thread for all three models is the user—a person, business or AI—has money to spend. 

That’s obvious for 2 and 3 since the model involves spending money directly with the app.

But for 1, if your user base doesn’t have money to spend, the ability to monetize via ads will be low.

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

how important is retention time? the idea was to keep everything in-house for a user correct? we’re going with #1 with the @podplayr .. not everything has to cost something 😅 especially not up front, most of the best apps started by not charging a user anything …so why the big push for in app transactions? 🤔

growth bro, time. we’re so used to the instant gratification in web3 that’s truly unrealistic when you are building out something of value imo. you start slow and work your way up as time goes….the first idea may not be the end idea 😅

If you can’t make money today why would it change in the future?
