CreateSpace Overview of Independent Publishinggrantfaulkner
This document provides information about self-publishing a book through CreateSpace. It discusses preparing the manuscript by writing, editing, and identifying the target audience. The publishing process through CreateSpace involves selecting title information and uploading interior files and cover artwork. Authors can then proof their work and publish it. Once published, the book will be distributed globally through online retailers like Amazon and the author will receive royalties of up to 60% of the list price depending on the sales channel. CreateSpace offers layout, cover design, and other professional services to assist authors throughout the process.
The document discusses how blogging empowers journalism by allowing journalists to iteratively publish content in a spacious format that encourages specialization and interaction. Blogging also allows for timely publishing, though not always sort of. The document recommends themes for crafting blogs, including sourcing work, communicating what you're writing about, producing original work, having an editorial policy, and disclosing conflicts of interest. It also asks what readers think and provides contact information.

This document discusses a research proposal to compare the views of Soren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche on the topic of irony. It aims to show how both philosophers saw irony not as disengagement, but rather as a way to disrupt habitual thinking and deepen ethical and religious commitments. The analysis will focus on each thinker's interpretation of the nature of irony, grounding the interpretation in the work of Jonathan Lear.

We spend countless hours toiling over our work. But then we do something strange, even stupid. We take all that hard work, passion and our shiny creative alchemy, and march it into its debut with little-to-no preparation. We say, “The work should stand on its own…”, as though Darwin is suddenly in the conference room. Then it happens — you have a terrible presentation, the work dies, and you have to start over. This outcome is avoidable, and Rahmin Eslami, executive creative director at Hornall Anderson and SVC instructor, will advise you on how steer clear of creative presentation misfires with a bit of preparation and practice.
This document provides advice on how writers can strategically use blogging and social media to build their brand and promote their work. It discusses how several successful authors used these tools to become well-known. While social media can help with promotion, it is important for writers to focus first on developing their craft and setting writing goals. When blogging, writers should curate their content strategically and present a consistent brand, voice and area of expertise to build an audience over time. Social media can support writers' goals if used intentionally as another outlet for their work.
The document discusses the opportunities and advantages for independent authors in self-publishing ebooks. It notes that ebooks are growing as a percentage of the publishing market and are more convenient for readers. For authors, self-publishing provides more control over their work and they can earn a much larger share of sales. Platforms like Smashwords make it easy for authors to publish and distribute their ebooks to multiple retailers. The document outlines several secrets to success for indie authors, including writing great books, maximizing distribution, giving away books to build an audience, and focusing on marketing and building social networks.
This document summarizes key points from presentations given at a publishing industry conference. It discusses trends in technology that are changing consumer behavior and access to information. Examples are given of how some publishers are experimenting with new business models, such as selling ebooks and print-on-demand books. Challenges for traditional publishers are discussed, as well as opportunities to better reach niche audiences and profit from the "long tail" of less popular titles through self-publishing services and new digital formats. Blogging is presented as a case study of how authors can directly market and promote their books online.
This was my closing keynote session at the Sales 2.0 Conference on October 18, 2011. In this presentation I draw upon the philosophy of Bruce Lee and apply it to how sales professionals can sell without selling and build trust with customers in a digital world.

Just when marketers thought it was safe to employ mainstream digital strategies an increasing number of hyper-connected customers are changing the game with social media – bypassing strategies like search and email marketing altogether!

Here, I discuss why customers are hungry for experiences– not just products/services and how successful marketers are converting into publishers.

The document discusses the social graph and how it translates social networks from an online concept into the real world. It provides images from websites about social networks and tipping as examples. The author states they will examine some examples of the social graph.
The document discusses the concept of "wisdom of crowds" and whether crowds can be wise. It outlines four conditions necessary for a crowd to be wise: diversity of opinion, independence, decentralization, and aggregation. Good examples provided are Google search results, the stock market over time, and open source software projects. However, it notes that aggregation is difficult and crowds work at their own pace, so the "wise" answer may take time. It also questions whether publishers can benefit from wisdom of crowds.
Web 2.0 is characterized by user participation, openness, and network effects. It harnesses collective intelligence by allowing users to remix and transform data, making services better as more people use them. Some early examples of Web 2.0 include Amazon in 1995, Yahoo in 1997 with hand-coded HTML pages, and Netscape 3.01 in 1997 which helped pave the way for more user-focused web applications.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
