That's interesting! In my case I'm an independent publisher and this "product" lets me step into a possible group of people that might never know about me otherwise. Someone that might appreciate other work I do, in the same topic, which I distribute through my newsletter (I try to create a useful set of resources every week, as a full-time effort).
I'm more interested on providing value on the long term rather than making a quick buck with "pay as you want". Of course all the usual throwaway domains are then filtered out :)
- epicide 8y agoFor many reasons, I would love to hear more about your model. Just be aware that I (and others) are immediately on guard whenever something asks for email (or any personal info, for that matter). _Especially_ if that info is a barrier to something like a book. For better or for worse, it looks an awful lot like the typical email-harvesting-for-spam techniques. > making a quick buck with "pay as you want" If you're writing books and people are getting value out of them, I'd argue you deserve even more than a quick buck. Don't sell yourself short. I don't think anybody would see pay what you want as a cash grab, either.
