Since 2001, the social forum Swhack has been operating without any kind of business model or revenue stream. Membership is free $99/year, and participants are not at all obliged to perform any kind of work for the group as part of their membership. Any fool can see that this is financially unsustainable, and that a source of income to support the channel is needed to ensure its ongoing operation.
Well, no longer. In 2013 we are striking out into a new business: sticker manufacture. Available Q1 2014 will be the following stickers, priced at just £0.99 each:
