comment What Is Your Opinion On “Freebie Marketing”?
Thanks for your comment. It's a really interesting point - by removing initial risk and investment I suspect the customer would accept a higher recurring cost. Mobile phone companies do this - e.g. free IPhone on the £50 a month contract, or pay for the IPhone on £30. Again, I probably wouldn't subsidise whole setup costs.

comment What Is Your Opinion On “Freebie Marketing”?
Thanks for your comment. I do agree the inequality point which makes this a different calculation. As above, I wouldn't fully subside the hardware cost.

comment What Is Your Opinion On “Freebie Marketing”?
Thanks for early answers - one point is that I wouldn't cover whole cost of investment. Maybe 30%. I would be aiming to pay that back over 2.5 months of subscription revenue.

comment Should I launch 2 web startups at once?
+1. Sounds bad in theory and there is a ton to do get a product off the ground. However, you could put a few different ideas out there as test campaigns to see which one gets the most attention or traction.
