"There are lots of ways to finance your latest business venture, but one of the funnest ones remains offering a product or service in exchange for money, and people paying for it. \r\n\r\nYou should totally employ that strategy for your startup!\r\n\r\nWe kid, we kid, but not really. It's no secret monetizing a digital service can be tough, but all too often 'advertising' - rather than charging users - is the answer to the vital question &amp;quot;so what's your business plan?&amp;quot;.\r\n\r\nAnd yet it's almost never the right answer. But then, what is? \r\n\r\nOr in other words, what could you charge for? What can you offer that could make people want to open up their wallets?\r\n\r\nThe folks over at Board Of Innovation have put together a slide deck with a collection of useful money-making techniques and tips (which will be continuously updated based on feedback from the global startup community), and it may just answer those questions for you.\r\n\r\nIt's been getting a ton of views on SlideShare (you can also download the PDF), but it hasn't really started making the rounds outside of it yet.\r\n\r\nIt's filled to the brim with examples, so don't miss it:\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nTop image credit: Thinkstock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
