    How Much Has Content-Based Business Changed?

    PUBLISHING 
    Doesn't matter if it was based on panic or not. Jeez.. He analyses well and gave a good structure to launch and MVP of a business. That's better than months of procrastination and wasting time on bad idea. I had similar thoughts about the book before, but it is a good read. D.Norris is a guy...

    How Much Has Content-Based Business Changed?

    PUBLISHING 
    These two books are bad examples. Huge brand name authors and huge huge lists of JV partnerships. They couldn't fail if they wanted almost.. Better launch example is The 7-Day Startup by Dan Norris of wpcurve.com. He even has a post about how he promoted. And he's a huge content creator...

    Who said it's bad that it's ending? Just said it's not easy. And didn't say it's bad that it's over. But there are good people expecting too much and then stressing out and stopping publishing because of 'negative results'. When it's not negative results, just unrealistic expectations. And who...

    Well, it's good that you can explain things, but that does not necessarily mean you should do it for Book about Publishing. That's a universal skill, not subset for one industry. It's a great skill. But this is also classic 'me' vs what marketplace needs. Does it need another book about...

    Not to be an a$$ but honestly, everyone and their grandma is writing books about Publishing these days. Jeez.. Everyone wants to cash in... If anyone still had doubts Kindle had been a goldrush and now it's finishing, this is a clear sign (I mean tendency for many to teach and sell the dream...

    Trying Out Self-Publishing

    PUBLISHING 
    Yeah, that would be good. But not with Amazon haha Anyway, if big names withdraw from KU, then it will build up some new names and that will be good. More midlist Indies. That is good. Like Select used to do few years ago. Temporary boost.

    Trying Out Self-Publishing

    PUBLISHING 
    I think these will depend more on total Borrows customers do, not authors. I don't think Amazon watches too much who pulls out etc. The thing is Amazon can't keep high priced Borrows if there is a huge increase in Borrows. The more Borrows from new customers, the less each Borrow will be worth...

    It's the equivalent of building Adsense Websites to just have people click on ads.. it's low value. I don't like that.. It's a good business idea in a sense that it is scalable etc but I wouldn't do it. One of the terms of picking business to do is whether it can be great. There are good...

    Good stuff! I am aware of one guy who's scaled it up with non-fiction books to the point where he has 2000 books published. I'm no advocate of that model but it's done.

    Cheers. Good to see people enjoying these. I do think it's lower than 85%, it was way easier 3 years ago, it was a gold rush. Not meaning it in any negative way, just supply/demand thing for ebook changed(new devices, need more ebooks) and now it changed again (so many writers, growth for...

    If the book is out first and sells well, you can use that as leverage when hiring or partnering up with a coder to prove a need! Good luck!

    I don't believe in diversifying fast.. that's just distraction (until you are kicking a$$ to a certain level and can start risking.. but that's not at $3k a month for anyone)... now providing info for solving a problem and then having an app to support it/solve problem is a double punch to...
