We're going to have a lot of our current users that are going to continue paying us because they don't meet our criteria for getting our services for free.
We're still going to have revenue coming in, but our new model is going to be focused on the people who we have a selection of criteria that are going to basically enable you to get a...
to get free license and access to all of our materials.
We're going to be developing education to wrap automation around with.
One of the problems with marketing automation is that you give people a fishing pole and they still don't know how to use it.
And that's a problem that as a software company, it's very difficult for us to solve profitably.
Correct.
And so what we do, so in this case, what this allows us to do is put formal education programs together.

Not in the same way because they're not going to be a customer.
They're going to be making a donation.
Correct, but it's not going to be an advertising sort of play where they're going to say, hey, we're going to make this donation and we're going to expect...
you know, X conversion rate on leads, they're going to say, we were going to make this donation and we expect our logo to be on your website.
Yeah.
