Dear /biz/, Just got a sales job where I make commission on top of a 53k p.a. salary. But I don't want to piss away the money on bullshit (e.g., alcohol and tobacco) like the normies.I want to put it into a business that can easily scale up. The easiest business for me is publishing. I can handle everything from proofs to editing to formatting to production (outsourced to China) to distribution (through store). I've got a background in writing fiction and poetry, as well as editing, so I have some credibility with the writing community already. I want to treat it like a sustainable, growing practice that can scale up. I'm going to use a printer in China. I will put $500-1000 of my pay check into the business each fortnight, and try to not only cover my costs, but make back. Profits are not the unearned wages of the working masses, they are my motherfucking Bando!Yours sincerely,McHustlegrind
Why bother with the time-consuming print distribution side when you can do ebooks? Or would your margins be that much better?
>>62176870Good question. There are a lot of trade-offs with ebooks. The model for literary magazines now is to offer free digital versions but charge for the premium of the print copy and to get subscribers. Examples include Beneath Ceaseless Skies or Clarkesworld. But if you went with ebooks only, you also have a lot of downsides:ebooks = / = no secondary market valueebooks only = more chances that piracy will create $0 in income ebooks = less customers, e.g., those who only want printPrint = more ability to customize and tailor the product to the customers
