So how does Six Apart benefit? LiveJournal has 93,000 paid accounts, which are priced at $25 a year - around $2 a month, or about $190K in monthly revenue. That number is more impressive when infrastructure costs are included. LJ's revenue stream is focused in 3.8 percent of its active accounts (which number 2.44 million, rather than the oft-quoted 5.6 million figure, which includes inactive accounts). Those paid accounts essentially subsidize the other 96 percent of users - thus the importance of LiveJournal's experience in scaling its architecture, which is based on Perl, as are TypePad and Movable Type.

93К платников.
2,325,000 долларов в год. Вполне хватит на несколько человек на полной ставке+содержание серверов+небольшой, но стабильный доходик.
