Interesting. Even though around 20% of people didn't pay anything, they were still able to turn a profit.

I'd love to compare the results of this with other 'pay-what-you-want' schemes.

Edit: "We did all of the web design, video production, motion design, and copy writing ourselves, so these were free." I wonder if the cost of this would technically have put them at a loss (I suspect not).

It would almost have to. $70k is not even one man year's worth of effort from someone skilled at any one of those things individually.

Why are you considering a year's salary for a holiday pack/site? It's hard to imagine 2,080 hours (40x52) went into the entire thing.

"We did all of the web design, video production, motion design, and copy writing ourselves". Doesn't seem that hard to me. And we're talking less than a year's salary for someone skilled at any of those things, let alone all.
