Income Model Question - Free Access vs. Paid Access /ads

[adiakritos]

edit: The title is supposed to say "Income Model Question - Free Access /ads vs. Paid Access"

I noticed someone created an application on excel and is selling it on clickbank for $50.

I also noticed that I can't find anyone else making the same kind of application. I realized that I could make one myself that's web based instead.

Obviously I want to make mine better, basically EPIC.

My question was if I should allow people to use the application for free and earn income from advertising for other people or if I should charge people by subscription or a one time fee.

I suppose I can leave the app free and use advertising cashflow to build something else for the same market by paying a professional programmer.

Here goes the checklist:
The need's there
Barrier to entry is paying someone to make the web app or doing it myself.
I have all the control
Someone in Afganistan with a dial up connection can use it
I can play video games and still be earning cashflow so there's freedom from time

I've already started building the application. Actually the first version is about 25% finished.

Thanks for the input everyone
