There's a best practice acronym for creating lists like this - MECE: mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive.<p>I'm not sure this list passes the "mutually exclusive" test - for example, eBay fits into both the "marketplace" and "auction" category. "Freemium SaaS" is clearly a strict subset of "SaaS". Might seem like a minor quibble, but a categorisation system isn't very useful if the categories are all jumbled up.
I hope you don’t mind, but I couldn’t stand reading that list and cleaned it up in a gist instead: <a href="http://pygm.us/cjvjHnCi" rel="nofollow">http://pygm.us/cjvjHnCi</a>.<p>The list itself is amazing and just what I have been looking for, though. :)
Credit should go to avc.com's Fred Wilson (<a href="http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2012/12/mba-mondays-revenue-models.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2012/12/mba-mondays-revenue-models.h...</a>) ... this provides a good map.
Do these revenue models need to be sustainable? I noticed 'Donations' is missing. An example could be Wikipedia, which afaik has donations as only revenue.<p>Some other opensource projects also fund parts of their development through donations, either from businesses or consumers.<p>It won't make you rich, but it might bootstrap you into some better revenue model.<p>Also awesome list, definitely saved for later :)
Trying to add something without logging in, it lets me type a few letters and then I keep getting this really annoying pop-up. Either allow people to edit without login or don't. This teasing is really frustrating.<p>Anybody can edit Wikipedia without logging in, why not this?
I don't know if this is an actual discussion or a "launch" for a site, but using page down just bounces you back to the top of the page. (Chrome beta, OS X).
