42 sats \ 3 replies \ @jbschirtzinger 20 Jun \ on: Some Thoughts on My Failed SN Recruitment Effort meta
I didn't have a lot of luck on recruiting payment via sats for print copies of my book (or ebooks), or for driving the writing of the next version(more of a donation in this case). Of course, I hate marketing, and I didn't really expect anyone to donate since everyone expects most things for free. The most response I got was posting up the chapters in books and articles.
That's interesting. Crowdfunding future work may be a harder sell because of people's fear of getting rugged. That's a payment model for authors that I've been interested in for a long time.

Sure. I'm ten chapters into my non-funded rug pull, though. Sometimes you gotta take a chance if you want something different.
Edited to add: Also, paying for the actual former copy ensures you have something to show...

I hear you. It's similar to how much trouble I've had convincing stackers that they'll make more back in rewards if they'd increase their zapping. HODL'ing is too deeply ingrained for many to willingly part with their sats on the promise of getting more value back later.
Good luck!
