Hi Mad,
Please allow me to help you to discuss your business strategy because from my point of view, your ‘crowdfunding’ business can lead to a scam for your subscribers/customers.
Why? Because everyone knows that Siberian is Open Source. The Commercial Editions are intended to support the Devs team. But the basic SAE offers no different feature for your customers.
Every customer knows that once they rent for 1 year period at Siberian Hosted Editions, they will own the source code.
This source code is protected by serial number to get lifetime updates.
I’m sure you plan this for a long term business/income and not only to get some amount of money and buy the Edition, but at the end you are the only one that own the license.
Unfortunately this is a scam business, Mad.
Let me give you solution:
1. Get familiar with Siberian Structure, Mobile Apps Business and How You Handle Simple Issues on Siberian as well as the Server.
2. Establish your own business website that offers Siberian App ‘Development’ to convince your prospected customers that your business is reliable.
3. With your current collected money, you can start deploying small VPS and run several SAEs and provide your customers a good service.
4. Educate your customers in Mobile App Business because you want them to be satisfied and therefore will stay choosing your service.
5. Once you reach that routine income, you can improve yourself on ‘developing’ value added features such as embedding external content or just modifying the basic Siberian module and layout.
You will become a true Siberian Developer after that!
Please fell free to talk with me further more via Fb chat. I’m always welcome for questions.
Sincerely,
Ariv Ontowiryo
