“The ugly stuff will always need to be done.”

                                                     -John Ingram




Thursday, March 4, 2010
Your job as a publisher is to do things for authors that
        they can’t do for themselves:
           – Things that require special expertise
           – Things that require scale
           – Things that are expensive
           – Things that require marketplace leverage
           – Things that are boring and time-consuming

“No place affords a more striking conviction of the
         vanity of human hopes than a public library.”

                                               Rambler No. 106

“Obscurity is a bigger problem for authors than
         piracy.”



                                  Tim O’Reilly, 11 December 2002
                                   Piracy is Progressive Taxation

Why does new media always display power laws?




                          Figure #1: 433 weblogs arranged in rank order by number of inbound links.
                          The data is drawn from N.Z Bear's 2002 work on the blogosphere ecosystem.

It’s all in the math!




Thursday, March 4, 2010
The mathematics of complex social organization

        “Relationships between a band of 20 people involve only 190
        two-person interactions (20 people times 19 divided by 2), but
        a band of 2000 would have 1,999,000 dyads.... In small
        societies with few pairs of members, the resulting necessary
        transfer of goods can be engaged directly between pairs of
        individuals or families, by reciprocal exchanges. But the
        same mathematics that makes direct pairwise conflict
        resolution difficult in large societies makes pairwise
        economic transfers also inefficient. Large societies can
        function economically only if they have a redistributive
        economy in addition to a reciprocal economy.”

                          Jared Diamond: From Egalitarianism to Kleptocracy
                                         in Guns, Germs and Steel, pp 286-287

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get
        more visibility and sales for authors than they can get
        on their own.

“the minimum viable product is that version of a new product
                               which allows a team to collect the maximum amount of

This is important!
     In social networks, you gain and bestow status
      through those you associate with
     A key function of a publishing brand is the bestowal
      of status by who and what you pay attention to
     If you only pay attention to yourself, you aren’t as
      valuable to your community
           – You don’t learn as much from your readers
           – You don’t bind them to you by amplifying their voice

Analytics will help you find what products are working
                                      what channels are working
                                        what prices are working
                           who is spreading the word about you
                                        what your readers think

The secret of social media is that it's not about you,
        your product, or your story. It's about how you can
        add value to the communities that happen to include
        you. If you want to make a positive impact, forget
        about what you can get out of social media, and start
        thinking about what you can contribute. Not
        surprisingly, the more value you create for your
        community, the more value they will create for you.




Thursday, March 4, 2010
Create more value than you capture.

The mathematics of complex social organization “Relationships between a band of 20 people involve only 190 two-person interactions (20 people times 19 divided by 2), but a band of 2000 would have 1,999,000 dyads.... In small societies with few pairs of members, the resulting necessary transfer of goods can be engaged directly between pairs of individuals or families, by reciprocal exchanges. But the same mathematics that makes direct pairwise conflict resolution difficult in large societies makes pairwise economic transfers also inefficient. Large societies can function economically only if they have a redistributive economy in addition to a reciprocal economy.” Jared Diamond: From Egalitarianism to Kleptocracy in Guns, Germs and Steel, pp 286-287 Thursday, March 4, 2010
