Concept
Ashampoo has created a business model that revolves around cloning the best-of-breed shareware Windows system-utilities, and offering them all in one place.
Offering them all in one place has two functions: 1) customers trust you, because of your consistent quality, and 2) customers don't have to search for the solutions they need -- you offer everything!
Why not do the same for webapps? There are many areas with easy webapps (like email broadcasters), but too much competition for users to sift through.
Benefits of this model
- Quality control
- Organic growth (best growth when apps are related)
Apps to clone
- Email broadcasts (Campaign Monitor)
Fax broadcasts (Faxblast-style, see Asterisk fax channel)
- Simple content-management solution (CushyCMS)
