I was sorting through old sponsors today and found that one guy who joined a paysite 3 years ago from a morphed RSS feed on a sensualwriter free hosted blog is still chipping me $15 a month. The blog took me about 10 minutes to set up, I've got just under $500 from the recurring costs.
On the other hand, I've spent a good 30 hours on a project recently and I get 10 hits a day from Google.
Anyone else got stories to tell?
