This might sound a little odd, and may not be the best topic to post under (please let me know if there's a more appropriate topic for it).
I am developing a system to help save lives by enlisting a potent device almost all people carry with them 99% of the time. My current setup meets all 5 of the CENTS commandments, and has the potential for both reach and magnitude at the same time (I'd argue that saving someone's life is the highest magnitude possible).
The issue I have is this: the entire principle demands that the system is free to use. Whilst there is the option of partnering with other established brands in the sectors I'm targeting first, I can't see an easy way to establish any actual money flow. Advertising is one option, but the options for it are very minimal, and I will not surrender monetary control to another agent like Google.
Beyond the initial development, the production and maintenance overheads are very low, so there's not really any requirement for monetisation income to cover the growth of the money tree... but if it doesn't actually make any money, is it a money tree?
I'll be clear: I believe in what I'm doing whole-heartedly, and will continue with it regardless of whether I ever make money from it - but being able to build it into a money tree would be a rather lovely bonus.
What experiences have other people here had with successfully making a money tree from a free product?
