There’s a great post series and discussion happening over at CraftyPod about “free.” It’s something near and dear to my own heart, as Indie Craft Shows was created as a free resource. As I take some time off of my full time job to help nurture and grow the site, I have to keep a close eye on the sustainability of free. At the end of the day I still have hosting fees, domain fees, and content fees to cover, and that’s not even considering the cost of my time. So far the revenue from our fantastic sponsors has been enough to make ends meet, but it’s certainly something I’m aware of.
Parts 1 and 2 of the series are out, with more to come!
