So you want to me more productive at work and only use the internet for work (according to the 'why' on that site) and you're going to achieve that goal by taking the time to read all the news articles on Hacker News, write out summaries or reprint the articles and then mail them? Uh.
- bearwithclaws 16y agoFirstly, let me clarify. Aside from solving my own dilemma, this is also a business venture, where I look to make money from advertising revenues and such. Second, once the revenue comes in, I will start delegating jobs to other people, until the point where I don't do most of the work. And you are right. I will probably have to do all the hard work for the first few issues. But hopefully, ONLY for the first few issues.
- IgorPartola 16y agoJust out of curiosity, have you published printed magazines before?
- bearwithclaws 16y agoNo.
- wdewind 16y agoI'm not trying to be negative, but take a look at the publishing industry right now. I think you've got to have a really good reason to swim against the stream here, and I don't see it. -1 more for being 100% unnecessarily wasteful, and I'm really not liking the idea.
- wdewind 16y agowhy the downvote :/
- hmmmidontknow 16y agoAre you saying that you already plan to have hired a staff to do all the "hard stuff" after publishing only a few issues? That seems delusional. You don't even have a mock up or anything yet to show advertisers. You haven't even worked out how you'll get permission for the content.
