This is what I was referring to with a 'Steam for Books.' Steam is a video game publication platform. Developers generally get 70% of gross revenue generated by their product. With that 30% Valve, the company behind Steam, take care of financial stuff, providing a platform, and also targeting and marketing. Users can search for titles by genre and various sub-classifications that other users can provide. In spite of an absolute explosion in the size of the industry, many people are still doing phenomenally here.
Is there some reason a similar market could not work for books?
- Eridrus 8y agoI think publishers provide far more in terms of services than Steam. And plenty of indie game developers are complaining that they aren't making enough money because there is too much competition on Steam.
