I am publishing a book in passages here myself and I don't see that as a big problem. Two things need to be considered:
- You don't publish in chapters but in small passages (400-600 words), so a reader who finds it after weeks or longer there is a good chance there are fresh passages younger than one week.
- As you wrote yourself, you have to publish continuously, so when the first book is finished, you publish the next one. So, over time you can collect a readership.
What I would find more important is the possibility to resteem old content. Currently, that is limited to 7 days as well and the consequence is that old but good content can't be rediscovered.
I will follow you now.
Oustanding points. I didn't realize that about resteeming -- hope you don't mind I added that to my post (with credit given).
I like the idea of a page-by-page approach for building audience, reputation, and the account... The book then becomes a springboard for your Steemit life. It will help you with everything you post afterwards.
For someone who want's to post a book and then sit back, Steemit has big drawbacks.
You got me wondering: How easy is it for people to start reading your book from the beginning? The current view of someone's blog can't be sorted, excludes resteems, or even filter by tags. Furthering this idea that older content doesn't matter.
I know I'm late here lol, but I have started using the coffee Source link at the end of my posts. It gives them a way of checking out your older posts collected in one place at least. Not the best fix, but I'm hoping it helps people catch up on expired posts. Example. https://coffeesource.net/lordsnek/
