The New Bridge Between Artist and Consumer
I just saw this post about Topspin Media on TechCrunch and it got me thinking about the new breed of book publisher. Topspin is essentially a distribution company for unsigned musicians — or more accurately musicians that choose not to be ’signed’.
Ingram and Amazon are falling over each other to fill the digital distribution space in publishing, but a smaller company that puts artist relations up front could easily eat their lunch. Size is no longer an advantage.
I am dying to know how Topspin makes money. Or how they plan to.
With 3 editors, 5 marketers, and 10 supporting techs you could do good business in book publishing if there was a large enough market for ebooks. My question would be how would you know when ‘large enough’ is large enough?
