Recently on gaping­void we all star­ted tal­king about what comes after Clue­train.
There was all kinds of great pos­si­ble ans­wers: Mar­kets are rela­tionships, mar­kets are colla­bo­ra­tions etc etc.
I think it’s actually far sim­pler than that.
What comes after Clue­train? Ans­wer: Making money with Clue­train.
Every­body wants the new theory. I just want the cash.

    Watching Hugh’s mind — live

    Like a large huge num­ber of peo­ple, I’m a big fan of Hugh Mac­leod, his art­work and his gaping­void blog.

    If the con­ver­sa­tions really = fore­play
    Then finally get­ting the cash must = ?
    The con­ver­sa­tion can lost only so long, at some point you have to get down to business.

    Making money with the con­ver­sa­tion?
    In soft­ware, my plan it to make money by cons­truc­ting a ser­vice. I’ve got some ideas as to what that ser­vice will be. I’ll charge for the ser­vice. In the mean time, I need to eat.
    I want to use the Hugh­train to fund deve­lop­ment. I’m loo­king at how to make money to keep myself deve­lo­ping, without han­ding over ownership of my work.
    The Word­Press, Bit­to­rrent dona­tion route, wor­king for tips, is pro­bably the best way. Open source my work, take dona­tions for deve­lop­ment, even­tually, I’ll be a posi­tion to host a ser­vice of my own.
    My soft­ware might be open, the ser­vice easy to copy, but I’ll have the smar­test conversation.

    Rock fuc­king on, Hugh.
    Yeah, show me the cash… I’m actually a little bit tired of tal­king about it.
    Nice little irony in the fact that your bri­lliant sum­ma­tion above is pretty much a conversation-stopper. Heh.

    Making Money the Clue­train way

    Hugh has a pos­ting about Making Money with Clue­train. Very interesting.

    No, John, It’s just that the blo­gosphere is not open on the wee­kend. I think we are all dying to have this con­ver­sa­tion, that is, it is a bri­lliant sum­ma­tion, but a con­ver­sa­tion star­ter.
    How do you go about making money off of the smar­test con­ver­sa­tion? Assu­ming that we can all have the smar­test con­ver­sa­tion about something, how do we collect?
