RE: Steemit Book Collaborations to Sell On Amazon and or Kindle to Promote Steemit?
You know I could fill in a few funny pages with a couple of my stories. As @meesterboom said though. Everyone will want their cut. Myself included! Keep me posted.
Great I'd buy it now! Do you think any royalties being converted into STEEM and distributed evenly amongst contributors would work/be enough?
I'm sure that would be enough off the start. I'd suggest creating an account to serve that purpose. Rewards generated from that account with weekly updates could help pay the costs as well. I'd want to see everyone's share documented beforehand and updates on sales as well as payouts. Dependent on success, the payout wouldn't have to be daily. Bi-weekly or even monthly would be sufficient and eliminate micromanaging.
Having information on the blockchain is enough for me to feel confident. The book could sell well into the future though. That's where I see a few problems.
Well Royalties would be monthly from Amazon for physical books - not sure about Kindle, can't remember. Hadn't thought about posts on Steemit as well. They're aren't many start up costs, just time and maybe costs for a decent cover and some book promotion.
I'd be able to produce a few cover concepts but someone else would have to do the graphic design as that's not really my forte.
Much of my writing depends on the images I've produced and included with the stories. Hopefully having those in place wouldn't be a problem. That does bring up the cost though.
I'm forgetting we have so much talent here at our fingertips on Steemit, bound to be a graphic artist willing to help, if the word is put out. Even could run a competition and pay would be post earnings or something.
Funnily enough that's exactly what I have experience with on Createspace, as I've published a few picture books. I think pictures would be an important part. Thinking an eclectic approach might be best way for first collaboration.
