  • 04: Kindle Vella, Facebook Audio, and Blogging to Market Digital Products
    Apr 20 2021
    New things are coming from the tech giants that will definitely have an impact on us digital makers - in this episode we'll discuss Amazon's newest serial publishing platform, Kindle Vella, and whether it's a good deal for the writers. Facebook has announced a whole bunch of new audio projects including a Clubhouse competitor, podcasts, and a questionable short-form audio thing called Soundbite. After this week's trend report, I'm sharing a bit of a case study that I'm embarking on to see how effective blogging is to market digital products. Listen to hear how I'm setting out my plan, and we'll see whether it works together!

  • 02: Who Owns Digital Content, Virtual Gucci Shoes, and Wide vs KU Publishing
    Mar 24 2021
    This week we're diving into some news stories featuring my favourite topic, the future of digital assets and products! From buying shoes that only exist in your phone to creating a digital secondhand book economy, there's a lot to talk about when it comes to developments in this field.

    Our feature topic this week is the choice that self-published authors make regarding going wide or exclusive with their books. There's a lot of good reasons for either choice, and I'm going to share my observations after 6 years in the self-publishing industry. Fun!

    News Stories:
    - Cricuit Subscription Update
    - KDP drops MOBI files
    - Amazon Music & Merch, Twitter introducing shoppable posts
    - Who owns digital products?
    - Gucci launches virtual pair of sneakers & what that foreshadows
