IDEA: Steemit Poetry Book
Hi, Steemians. I saw @andrarchy 's last post on Steemit growth and I have an idea that combines something I am interested in, something I am skilled at, and something that would benefit the steemit community.
Here's my idea:
What is the problem?
There is no physical offline publication of Steemit poetry.
There is no physical offline method to promote steemit to writers and poets.
What is the solution?
A Steemit Poetry Journal.
This could be a simple journal with 50-75 poems that are voted for on the Steemit blockchain.
It can provide a tangible way to be introduced to the steemit community.
The project can leverage my experience with assembling content and publishing (Bitcoin Magazine, Thought & Color poetry book).
On average it takes about 3 months to write 50-75 pages of poems. And 10 hours to arrange art and poetry with another 10 hours to make original art for each group of poems. Getting a book can be as inexpensive as a few dollars through create space (color cover, black and white pages).
How will you prove your project was a success?
Costs to produce, advertise, and ship break even with the proceeds from digital and print sales.
- I want to start with a low bar because I am uncertain of the demand for this product.
Very neat idea Ruben! I know there are a lot of great poets here, @prufarchy hosts a poetry slam that could pair with this idea very well.
I agree that this is a cool idea :)
I can see a chapter with poetry slam winners.
There have definitely been enough poetry slam winners from the last 13 slams to fill a chapter :)
Amazing idea!
cool one
