Hi Adam,
Pricing is also difficult to decide on. If the majority of users won't pay, it will be higher than if we have more licensees.
If every user paid $10, we would probably be fine. I suspect not even
5%
will be willing to pay, though.
People using Observium professionally surely can afford more than $10...
I
am just a small single person consultancy company and it would
definitely
be worth more than $10 to me. Surely the user base consists for more
than
5% of professional users.
What about a kickstarter (or similar) fund raiser? :-) A project for developers
(http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andrewgodwin/schema-migrations-for-djang...)
raised almost $18k, and they asked for only $2.5k. It's a one-time
income
though...
I considered kickstarter, but I think our relevance to the general public is so low that we'd be unlikely to reach a goal.
You're also kinda screwed on kickstarter if you can't make a flashy video...
