40 Real Business Cases Around Me: Hardware for User Acquisition + Software for Profit
The first time I saw the Hardware for User Acquisition + Software for Profit model was Amazon's Kindle
Yes, I also have a noodle lid
This hardware device itself is sold at a loss (buying one is definitely no loss)
They make money by selling bookstore memberships (I didn't open a membership, found a bunch of PDFs for learning purposes only, actually finished reading a few books, should have made back the cost)
The second time I saw this model, it was talking about an AI alarm clock? Or some AI hardware
A startup company abroad, same trick
AI products are hard to profit from, so their path is hardware itself doesn't make money, rely on software payments to make money
