RE: Hive marketing thoughts

in #hivelast month (edited)

Streaming services sounds like a good option.
I've linked the manifesto I wrote for readers and writers (Hive is unique ... you get paid to read) elsewhere. I've talked to xigxag, done a workshop with the department of alternative economies and social value at the local university about the opportunities for creative industries as part of a business festival, run several other events, written to two youtube influencers (both writers), talked to the two local authority library networks (desperate to encourage more readers/borrowers).

Most recently, partly through reading your comments, I thought about getting a set of well-known writers (ie published by mainstream publishers) together, maybe spearheaded by a literary prize-winner, as the nucleus to attract consumers/readers.

So maybe the catch line is earn through reading, rather than earn through creating.

Sort:  

I see how you had all the bases covered in the link you shared.

Unfortunately, I don't have access. I was knocking on doors quite some time ago online but was treated more like a fan everywhere I went.

I've lost track of the amount of times I've written about the consumer benefits, here, then hoped people would share.

Leaving my thoughts all over the place, for years. If you see the potential I do, go for it. Anyone that gets it I say run with it.

There's no such thing as mass adoption without consumers. 8 years and there's only a few thousand people able to fill that supportive role, and many of them aren't even looking.

And for writers of all kinds, this tech is magic. I touched on it briefly in the post I wrote the other day. "Can't burn this library."

So much history has been lost and here we are sitting on an actual solution to prevent that. It's a solution to some problems I see coming down the road. People will need this. For society, it's a gift. If you have connections, teach them. Basic marketing can't cover all this stuff.

I'm so tired right now and also running on limited time but reading this comment of yours was a breath of fresh air. Knowing others care and can see is a good feeling.
