The Free-conomics and how Sharing Photography Works plays with your Business Model
In this show we address a topic that has been and will still fuel intense debates: How can one fit sharing photography works online, and even allowing free non-commercial use, into a business model.
We make some comparisons between photography and the music industry, and how photographers need to deal with the new reality on the web. We look into the benefits and drawbacks, and how the "free-model" can be used to leverage other sources of income.
This was our longest episode so far, but we hope that you take the time to listen to it, and maybe with our discussion we were able to provide some points of view that helps you define your business model.
Enjoy PhotoNetCast #30.
