Got more people involved by getting them to remix the video, create different tongue-in-cheek images that people could have used. One of the ideas we had was that the original video didn’t contain enough nudity (and we know that people blog in underwear, right?) so do a low-fi “real life” version of the same thing :)

Plenty of ideas for next year and for other promotions we’ll be running.

Andrus has already picked out a few, will add a few more links here.

Jeremyriad has a very interesting page looking at how much money does it cost to blog http://www.jeremyriad.com/support-this-site/

Cheryll Barron of Post-Gutenberg is the perfect person that gets micropayments, supporting free content etc but she’s hit by technical challenge of setting up Flattr, a loud and clear message to us that Flattr is not as simple and user friendly as it has to be for wide scale adoption. http://post-gutenberg.com/2011/11/28/will-flattr-a-micropayment-specialist-prove-to-be-paypals-equivalent-for-blog-financing/

Sister Diane has been a vocal advocate of paying for free in the crafter’s community and her post on Pay a Blogger Day sparked another great discussion http://www.craftypod.com/2011/11/28/pay-a-blogger-day-and-how-i-supported-some-free-in-november/
