[QUOTE="madelf, post: 1302992, member: 15415"] My comment that I would like to see specifics was an inquiry for more information, not an accusation that you hadn't provided any information yet. Beyond suggested changes for RPGnow (the primary sales outlet for PDFs) & its house magazine (and being the primary sales outlet really makes discussion of how best to make it work better every bit as valid as any number of discussions among print publishers on how to better get books on retail shelves), I really haven't seen anything ground breaking suggested here, though I might have missed it. I recall things like brand recognition, web presence, and cheap banner ads, which are pretty much just the basics I would think. I'd be surprised if anyone taking publishing seriously is not already doing that stuff on their own. Trading product to e-zines for ad space is a good idea, and one that's maybe not so obvious. Are there any others? Would you like to share information on which banner groups or ad sites are the most effective, or economical? Would you like to make some reccomendations for e-zine publishers who are receptive to the bartered ad idea? These are the kind of things I was thinking of when I said specifics. While I don't necessarily expect you to hand over all the information you've obtained with hard work (and certainly wouldn't think less of you if you didn't), I don't know if the skeletal concepts thrown out so far, really have much substance to discuss on their own.
