[Ruta] Yes, the effortlessness is a problem. Also, having to go through websites is an efficiency and interruption problem. And for artists to have to sign up to and conform to pre-designed websites is band-wagony, which, by their very creative nature, a lot of artists might not like very much. It's filling a need but not in an optimal way. With a direct donation button, that was attractive and pleasant to use (i.e. quick, no fuss, maybe with a little sparkle or something gratifying), people would be more likely to support. I think the 'busking button' could also become a movement of artistic independence. Artists might be encouraged to allow people to donate to them directly and minus the need to contribute material to a contrived third part website. They'd have the freedom to do things their own way in their own online space, while also inviting people to be free to donate to them. If it worked out, artists could maybe add a little 'thank you' note, either by an image/text/jingle/video, depending on their preferences. They could also add goals to their blog for projects they want to realise, which could then further encourage donations. But if Paypal is already on it [Mindey] ... Probably best to leave it to them. Unless there are lots of people that would prefer to use something other than Paypal. Some market research could be good here. Any artists on here, leave your thoughts as to whether you'd prefer paypal or something different and if different, what would you like different about it? {.5}
I can see this working better as a platform co-designed by game designers.
[ruta] like what we were talking about a few months ago. It would be nice to be able to be able to nominate super-equity partners. I'd add you for that.
[ruta] great, thanks :) [Mindey] - Super! That's brilliant. Exactly. This happens a lot and all contributors should get credit. - This exactidea has to give some credit to Ruta.
[ruta] great. i have a lot embedded in memory too. we can hash it all out together in a google doc w/ luke ? [Mindey] can you let me know when equity partners are addable so i can add ruta to this one?
" Packt’s mission is to help the world put software to work in new ways, through the delivery of effective learning and information services to IT professionals. " - Totally different mission. They're providing an education tool Does not address the problem at all. I don't know how the two would be confused? Order to Print is more about out of print books. I'm talking about existing books or books that used to be in print and not limited to any particular sector (Packt target IT sector). Order to Print would also allow an author to avoid the risk of paying a huge amount of money for thousands of copies of their book to be published without knowing if people will actually want to buy it and at the offered price. So, for example: I run 'Order to Print' Ltd. You, an author, approach me with your new novel and Ruta approaches me with her new cookbook. The book is designed and pretty much ready to print, can easily be sold as an e-book. I have an online catalogue of ebooks that readers can peruse. 200 people purchase the ebook of your novel but 20 people want a hard copy of it. 20 other people want a hard copy of Ruta's cookbook the same month. So I print 20 of each and send them to the requesters at the end of the month. That way, I don't print shitloads of hard copies that will then end up on disheartening discounts or recycling bins with their barcodes removed. And if the hard copy of Ruta's cookbook is in high demand, I can print more and more of it as people request it and sell them. It reduces the waste of overprinting and allows more control over the whole process. It also acknowledges the diversity of people's preferences for ebooks/hard copies. Packt is totally different, does none of this, and is completely irrelevant to this discussion. Sorry.
Espresso books - Perfecto! That's super, [Mindey], thanks for sharing that. Great. It's already done. :-P Tick.
[Mindey] - would be good to be able to archive things like this Idea, once there's a consensus that they've already been implemented. What do you think? Deleting seems a bit harsh...
[ruta] Thanks. I'm glad you like the idea. Yeah, it could be used by students as well. But really it's for people who are actually setting up real businesses and need to find information quickly, easily and in a manner that makes it easy to understand. Sure, some students will also be actually setting up real businesses but I wouldn't over-focus on this. Maybe there could be another goal focused on how to bring practical entrepreneurial / business opportunity and learning to students. *Suggest new 'Goal'/'Problem' on Infinity for this.* (We can share hyperequity - I'll take less as it's more your interest.) I wouldn't limit it to online either. That seems pointless, as things work a little differently when run entirely online. Also, a lot of businesses relocate or specifically choose to locate in a specific country for reasons other than tax breaks etc. E.g. as I mentioned, geographical data particular to different countries being useful for choosing a place to set up. Like, you're not going to set up a surfing school business online (well, you could but it wouldn't be very hands-on and the teaching would be very limited, only videos and things like that :-/ ) or in, say, Austria. (Again, you possibly could, if there's such a thing as lake surfing but again business would be limited.) I think there's an over-focus on digital / online business nowadays. Yes, it's booming etc but we shouldn't neglect face-to-face and other business models. One of the problems of our time is and will be lack of proximate and physical contact between people. We should avoid exacerbating that. I think I'll try to build a basic website for this. And if people want to join in, brilliant. I'll link when I have something for ye. Meantime, if anyone else wants to begin, go for it. {1}
So you're saying [Mindey] that in time, infinity will allow businesses to have their own customisable profiles on this, complete with integrated accounting, taxation, digital marketing, simulation labs and other services, all in each business profile and in a sort of gamer style, with graduated levels for the stage each business is at? Cool. Can't wait!
[ruta] yes! Exactly! You get it now :) That stuff, yes, and then the country specific things as well - how those things change according to where in the world you're based/basing.
