I imagine a lot of time and effort went into creating this. Thanks, Jaques.

Anyone interested in the freemium model may also find the post by Ben Chestnut of Mailchimp incredibly useful, too: http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/going-freemium-one-year-later/

In Spanish, dinero is uncountable. It should be "Mucho dinero".

"Muchos dineros" would be the way a toddler says it, so if you used that form for being funny, it's absolutely right.

Yes, it was in jest but without knowing the exact background. It had loads of hits on google so I figured that even it isn't perfect it would get the point across :)

I thought it was interesting that there were hits and I searched it myself: the results in Spanish are almost all from an excerpt from the same book, written in 1330.

Ok, it's been fixed. Thanks!

In Spanish, dinero is uncountable.

FWIW, the plural form is archaism, still used in some contexts, sometimes to resemble old style. In particular, it's often used when wondering where some "dineros" have misteriously gone.

Edit: I almost forgot: Thanks to Jacques for the writtings!!

Yes, Google says in Spanish speaking American countries you can use it that way.

Is there a PDF version? that will be more reader friendly.

It would also instantly turn it in to a 'dead' resource, as it is this is a living document, to be changed and fleshed out based on user feedback.

When it's 'stable' for a while I'll make a pdf that you can download, one of the proofreaders already offered to help with that.

I predict this is going to be up there with some PG articles as must-read startup material. Excellent.

Awesome. I saw around a dozen jacquesmatheij.com articles hit my RSS at the same time a few hours ago... after the third one on the list, I got excited that a new guide had come out. The be a consultant guide was brilliant, looking forward to this one too.

First section: "Such moves can be quite fatal." quite => quit ?

quite |kwʌɪt|

adverb [usu. as submodifier ]

1. to the utmost or most absolute extent or degree; absolutely; completely : it's quite out of the question | are you quite certain about this? | this is quite a different problem | I quite agree | quite frankly, I don't blame you. • very; really (used as an intensifier) : “You've no intention of coming back?” “I'm quite sorry, but no, I have not.”

2. to a certain or fairly significant extent or degree; fairly : it's quite warm outside | I was quite embarrassed, actually | she did quite well at school | he's quite an attractive man.

No, not quite :)

But thanks anyway, keep them coming!

In section 2, 'Moving to Freemium':

"Keep in mind that these 'freeloaders' are the people that brought you were you are"

...should probably read 'brought you to where you are'.

Thank you Nick, fixed.
