Since there are more and more web 2.0 startups emerged in China.Many people question how can they make money and sustain themselves.But wait, before you ask the same question, try to ask another questionfirst, “how can a so called web 2.0 service solve a problem?”. When wetalk about web 2.0, please don’t just apply “web 2.0″ as a label totheir service, the core is to solve a problem in a field. If so, Ithink they can make money anyway, why?
let me show you a picture first, it’s fromChristian Montoya:

But remember, Web 2.0 entrepreneurs; It’s not so simple to bemonetary like shearing a sheep. There are still some problems to beresolved before you can really shear the money from your sheep.Firstly, you have to make your sheet fat, and respect people’scontribution. If people really apply your service as their dailyproblem solving tool(e.g.Ajaxwhois),you can really get people’s participation all the time and get the fursgrow faster. Secondly, the furs are belongs to users who created themin property view. So you can’t just simply sell the “content” toothers, but you can smartly get the content showed on your site toattact audience with the permission of users. Most of the time, userswould like to do it in default because they like your service hostingtheir “fur”. Thirdly, you can try to find more extensive opportunitiesto present the content, e.g. hardware devices, mobile, as well packageof content to see if it’s possible to get more accessibilities forthose content consumers. All these possibilities can always accompaniedwith advertisement on more and more content, of course, to cover yourcost in a way.
Along with Christian said, “Web 2.0 I$ About Money”, I think it dependson how can you grow “fur” and how to shear them as harvest.
