HOW TO: Self Publish Your Book with Amazon's CreateSpace - 0 views

  •  
    It's been six years since Amazon acquired CreateSpace, an on-demand publishing platform, and almost four years since they announced the free online setup for self-publishing. While four years seems like a long time in our fast-paced world, self-publishing still hasn't reached the mass audience. Even the biggest social media gurus still take the traditional route, only choosing to self-publish when they've been rejected by mainstream publishing houses.

      How the same? Claiming it doesn't make it so. And books cost more than 99 cents; ten dollars is not, in Graham's terms, an ignorable event.

When you see something that's taking advantage of new technology to give people something they want that they couldn't have before, you're probably looking at a winner. And when you see something that's merely reacting to new technology in an attempt to preserve some existing source of revenue, you're probably looking at a loser.

  • In fact consumers never really were paying for content, and publishers weren't really selling it either. If the content was what they were selling, why has the price of books or music or movies always depended mostly on the format? Why didn't better content cost more?
  • If audiences were willing to pay more for better content, why wasn't anyone already selling it to them?

Condé Nast to Close Gourmet, Cookie and Modern Bride - Media Decoder Blog - N... - 2 views

  •  
    This upsets me so much.
  •  
    Why? I know the magazine business is not doing so well, but Conde Nast is still pretty well off. The magazines they're cutting already have similar audiences among other Conde Nast publications: Gourmet has Bon Appetit, Modern Bride has Brides. Makes you think whether they'll cut Details in favor of GQ or Lucky for Allure, etc.
