Pricing Decisions: Input and Options
Caleb discusses his ongoing decisions regarding pricing for his product, Flux. He shares feedback from six individuals, emphasizing two major sentiments: staying the course and not to worry about 'haters'. A consensus emerged that locking down documentation is unwise, implying users should have access to resources without a paywall. Mixed feelings about making the repository open source led to leanings towards a private setup with some activation steps. The focus shifts to a per-developer pricing model where users can access Flux for multiple projects. Caleb favors a subscription setup, with a tiered system for different team sizes.
Feedback on Bundling Products
Amidst the pricing considerations, Caleb is also advised to explore bundling Flux with screencasts. He grapples with the implications of doing so, as the screencasts currently provide significant revenue. Insights include the potential need for dual pricing tiers – one for just screencasts and another for a combined offering. The conversation reveals a desire to integrate Flux into future screencasts, simplifying the process of content delivery and leveraging existing resources.
The Challenges of Subscription Models
Caleb expresses concerns over the intricacies of subscription models versus one-time pricing. He acknowledges the difficulty in altering subscription prices once set, fearing backlash from current subscribers. He emphasizes the critical nature of maintaining customer trust and the intricacies of transitioning existing customers if subscription models evolve. Moreover, he realizes the importance of flexibility remains essential for future business decisions and structures.
Continued Engagement and Feedback Requests
Throughout, Caleb encourages his audience to engage with him about pricing and decision-making, highlighting that he is merely navigating through uncertainty. He shows willingness to adapt and learn from feedback, underscoring a collaborative effort in shaping the future of Flux and its related offerings.
