Day 3: Free-dom

Day 3: Free-dom

Today two more members joined the party, found their way to Facebook Pajamanation Group and thanks to Andy and Ricardo we have flash-player enabled videos embedded.  The Sony video is pretty funny for homeworkers by the way ☺

Some of you have emailed me and I will respond in this blog, but it is better to leave comments on the blog itself, that is what it is there for so that everyone can see what is being discussed.

You asked me what I meant by "Pajamanation must be free".  You are right; I needed to be clearer on this.  I mean no subscription fee, nothing, zero, nada, not now and not ever.  I have thought about this a long time.  What is the universal currency for the world which is still divided in old political regions as first, second, third and fourth world?  I have tried the Big Mac index ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mac_Index) , but it was no good.  There is only one price that is fair for the world at large and that is zero $.  Zero$ is the same in Nicaragua as in Denmark as in Congo.  So that is what we should charge to become a member of this network. 

But this is not all.  I also frown on transaction fees.  Most of the freelance sites charge something like 15% fees if a job is taken and the freelancer has to pay this (elance.com, rentacoder.com, guru.com, trabajofreelance.com, freelance.com).  We will not do this.  We will be free all the way.  No subscriptions, no transaction fees, no boundaries, no limits to how many jobs you can post, no credits, nothing.  This is perhaps hard to digest, but think of the opportunity.  Think of a service all over the world that make this happen.  How will this change the world?  How will change the economy? 

I know what you are thinking now: but how are we going to make money?  That is for tomorrow, suffice to say, that if we succeed, the world will beat a path to our door and we will be swamped by people who offer us money.  How about that for a nocturnal thought?
