RE: Cracking the Code (Cigar Box Bookstores)

That's a great idea. I can't wait to see how it works out for you! I hope it does well. With people's attention span being shorter. What do you think about leveraging social media to do some kind of serialized book? I don't know if people would really pick up on it, but it might be something to think about. You'd have to start small, but then as people start showing up, you might get sponsors and stuff like that. Is anyone already doing something like that? You kind of did it by having us edit your one book here on Hive, but I'm thinking smaller bits. I don't know, it was just a crazy idea I got.

Thank you! I tried that serialized fiction approach with my novel in 2016 on Steemit and it worked extremely well. It sparked quite a few sales of the physical book and created interest in the other titles.

I know it's taboo, but what if you tried it off the blockchain? Do you think it would be too hard to break through in Web 2.0? I don't think I was following you back then.

Good idea. I may start experimenting with X and/or Medium. Facebook has all but killed organic post outreach for small business on their platform. It's cost prohibitive to reach even the audience who's "liked" your business page. FB used to be the best platform to use.

Gotcha!
