Sell ​​your own text

The project is positioned, including, as a marketing platform for writers of any of them can place your text in the resource capacity of 5 to 30 thousand words, and sell it without the traditional intermediaries. A text may be a short story, and great investigative journalism, which is in the editorial do not accept, for example, for reasons of self censorship. On the contrary: the reporter did not want to sell a newspaper or magazine, because he was offered a small honorarium unnecessarily. This service establishes a direct connection between writers and readers: to earn and gain popularity, none of us do not have to "hang out" in certain secular circles or stud thresholds editors and publishing houses. The cost of "singles" in the store Amazon - from $ 0.99 to $ 4.99. Enough to earn a decent, considering that the online shop - millions of regular users. Under Singles are already on the work of young, unknown writers, but there are small, never previously unreleased, stories of famous writers in the United States. For example, recently posted this story the journalist Christopher Hitchens about who is Osama bin Laden and how he died. It is unlikely that this would have earned him a large text earnings, placing it in one of his newspapers. In Singles it costs $ 1.99 and are sold "thousands of copies." Another example: a young author David Baldacci did not want to print in the traditional publishing houses, and his story, "No Time", sold for 99 cents, sold in Singles circulation of more than 50 thousand copies, according to The Wall Street Journal. Guardian tells a different story: Greg Mortenson author of his memoirs, "Three Cups of Tea" sold in Singles circulation of 50 thousand copies in just three days. Another plus of this business model is often the writers have a lot of stories that they can not publish because they are too short: the same publisher, you need something that it took the size of the book. Amazon solves the key problem of the publishing business today: circulation of books due to the spread of electronic versions of their declining rapidly. As a result of a writer's work is becoming less popular. But the Kindle Singles changes everything. It employs a simple scheme, "wrote - published - has earned it as much as your work is worth." On the one hand. On the other hand, the crisis in the publishing industry raised and magazines. Writers have almost no place to publish his short stories, essays and short stories, and the initiative Amazon removes this problem. As for the apparent high prices ... often print magazine is bought for one or two articles. And as far as it is unprofitable?
