"They don't have anything like as much chance of becoming rich as a founder of a startup."
Have you ever looked at the revenues for a best selling author? They very much a have a small chance of hitting it big. They should change their business model by offering interesting things like McSweeney's which uses both online and offline products to attract an audience.
- ajb 18y agoYes, they have a small chance of hitting it big. But I reckon it's a much smaller chance than that of a startup founder.
- unalone 18y agoMcSweeney's is an icky model. They work online, but they're very closed-door, they appreciate only a very specific manner of writing, and they don't tell writers what it is they're doing wrong when they are, in fact, doing something wrong.
