Miraz’s contribution
I spend around 5 or 6 hours per week creating MacTips and looking after the website. That’s around 300 hours per year — an investment of about $30,000.
I also pay for all my own hardware, software and learning.
If each of the MacTips subscribers (about 3,300 as at April 2012) each contributed $1 that would more than cover the funding needs for a year.
