Monty Python Gives It Away to Sell It

By hugh on February 4, 2009 in business, buyingandselling, video | Leave a comment

Monty Python has long been a staple of Youtube for years. Spam, lumberjacks, minor flesh wounds, etc. Rather than trying to beat Youtube, Monty Python joined it, with a new Monty Python Channel, with links to merch and DVDs for sale. Result? 2300% increase in sales. Nice.

Any lessons here for publishing?
