Simple, a blog that you pay to read. :) It's amazing to me that
people still continue to pump out books, such an outdated form,
simply because it has an existing payment model in place, rather than
trying new paid models online. Simply churning out ebooks or the
equivalent is all they do, when so much more is possible online,
everything from pay-per-post to comments. The lack of imagination is
simply stunning.
I agree. A website / blog allows links to videos etc. and it can
be expanded over time, and indexed by search engines.
Have you considered using LeanPub for this?
Never heard much about them. Looking at their site now, I like that
they focus on getting chapters in front of readers right away, while
they're being written (which almost every writer should be doing), but
don't like their emphasis on producing books at the end.
A categorized/tagged blog with comments is a much better experience than
a static book with a table of contents and index, yet they import blog
posts and turn them into a book! The only reason is that books have a
long-standing payment model in place: it's as though everyone were still
selling buggies because there are only buggy dealers and no car dealers
yet.
It is all beyond idiotic: it is amazing how long antiquated ideas stick
around, only because people cannot imagine anything else.
I've got two books through leanpub.
It is ideal for a magazine or books.
If you want help, please let me know!
I would be happy to help for it.
