When Free Makes You More Money
from the how-it-all-works dept
Way back when WiFi was first becoming popular and all these businesses came out with plans to charge people monthly subscription rates or huge hourly rates and somehow expected to make money, a few people pointed out that the added expense of managing all of the billing and customer support probably outweighed all of the revenue from users. It would appear that one local WiFi operator now agrees. WiFi Networking News is reporting that MetroFi has done the math and is opening up all of their hotspots for free. They note that cutting out the customer acquisition costs and billing-related costs were adding up. However, by replacing the little bit of revenue they were making from subscribers with advertising revenue from a lot more subscribers (and the lower costs), they actually end up making a lot more money. It's not that surprising when you understand how all the factors play together, but it still seems like a good case study for those who got so angry claiming it was impossible to make money from "free."
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

It's easy for people to equate "wireless" and "free." Just like TV signals (omitting satellite TV for sake of argument), the over-the-air ones are free, and you pay a premium for the wired ones (more bandwidth).

Makes sense
One of the reasons I don't go to Starbucks with my laptop is because smaller coffee shops offer free internet.

Take five minutes to read this and it WILL change your life.
I just read an article in an internet newsgroup describing how to make
$50,000.00 in only one month from a $5.00 investment.
Of course I thought this was ridiculous, or some type of pyramid. I
talked it over with my family, an attorney, and my friends, and they
all agreed it was some sort of scam. I hate scams because usually
someone gets burned, and I didn't want it to be me! I blew it off for
a few weeks then saw another one in a newsgroup I go a lot and
thought, " maybe this is legitimate", besides whats $5.00 , I spend
more than that in the morning on my way to work on coffee and cigs for
the day!
Well, two weeks later, I began receiving money in the mail!, I
couldn't believe it!
Not just a little, I mean big bucks!!. At first only a few hundred
dollars, then a week later a couple of thousand, then BOOM., By the
end of the fourth week, I had received nearly $47,000.00. It came from
all over the world. And every bit of it perfectly legal and on the up
and up. I've been able to pay off all my bills and still had enough
left over for a nice vacation for me and my family.
Not only does it work for me, it works for other folks as well. Marcus
Valppu says he made $57,883 in four weeks, Dave Manning claims he made
$53,664 in the same amount of time. Dan Shepstone says it was only
$17,000.00 for him. Do I know these
Folks?. No, but when I read how they say they did it, it made sense to
me. Enough sense that I'm taking a similar chance with $5 of my own
money. Not a big chance, I admit-but one with incredible potential,
because $5 is all anyone ever invests in this system. Period. That's
all Markus, Dave or Dan invested, yet their $5 netted them tens of
thousands of dollars each, in a safe, legal and completely legitimate
way. Here's how it works in 3 easy steps:
STEP 1.
Invest your $5 by writing your name and address on five separate
pieces of paper along with the words, " PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING
LIST".
(In this way, you're not just sending a dollar to someone; you're
paying for a legitimate service). Fold a $1 dollar bill, money order,
or bank note inside each paper, and mail them by standard U.S. Mail to
the following five addressees:
1) Marco Monet
409 NE 107 St
Miami Fl 33161
2) Alain Renaud
2638 Augustin Cantin
Montreal QC Canada
H3K 1E1
3) J.R. Arnold
14777 Wunderlich Dr. 2212
Houston, Texas 77069
4) Leila Khalil
309 E Rand Rd 302
Arlington Heights IL 60004
5) Robert del Rosario
3313 Ashby Field Avenue
North Las Vegas, Nevada 89031
Step 2.
Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other names up.
This way , #5 becomes #4 and so on. Put your name in as the fifth one
on the list.
Step 3.
Post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. There are at least 17000
newsgroups at any given moment in time. Try posting to as many
newsgroups as you can. Remember the more groups you post to, the more
people will see your article and send you cash!
Step 4.
You are now in business for yourself, and should start seeing returns
within 7 to 14 days!!. Remember, the internet is new and huge!. There
is no way you can loose.
Now here is how and why this system works:
Out of every block of 200 posts I made, I got back 5 responces.
Yes, that's right. Only 5. You make $5.00 in cash, not checks or money
orders, but real cash with your name at #5.
Each additional person who sent you $1.00 now also makes 200
additional postings with your name at #4, 1000 postings. On average
then, 50 people will send you $1.00 with your name at #4, ... $50.00 in
your pocket!!
Now these 50 new people will make 200 postings with your name at #3 or
10,000 postings. Average return, 500 people = $500., they make 200
postings with your name at #2 = 100,00 postings = 5000 returns at
$1.00 each that's
$5,000.00 in cash!!
Finally, 5,000 people make 200 postings each with your name at #1 and
you get a return of $50,000 before your name drops off the list. And
that's only
If everyone down the line makes only 200 postings each! Your total
income for this one cycle is $55,000.00
>From time to time when you see your name is no longer on the list, you
take the latest posting you can find and start all over again.
So that's it. Pretty simple sounding stuff, huh? But believe me it
works!
There are millions of people surfing the net everyday, all day, all
over the world. And 100,000 new people get on the net every day. You
know it, you've seen the stories in the papers. So, my friend, read
and follow the simple instructions and play fair. That's the key, and
that's all there is to it.
Print this out right now so you can refer back to this article easily.
Try to keep an eye on all the postings you made to make sure everyone
is playing fairly. You know where your name should be.
Note: Keep in mind that this has been circulating for over a year, so do not be surprised if some of the addresses are outdated…It won’t matter, because you KNOW your address is correct and since you are starting the process again, all the addresses added by the others will be fresh !!
REMEMBER.... HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. YOU DON'T NEED TO CHEAT THE BASIC IDEA TO MAKE MONEY!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL, AND PLEASE PLAY FAIR AND YOU WILL WIN
AND MAKE SOME REAL INSTANT FREE CASH!!
Remember "What Goes Around, Comes Around"
