Musings on giving your ideas away

Seth Godin analyzes the relative sales of the paper, e-book and pdf versions of his Bootstrapper’s Bible.

The key point is this: “Can you make any money giving away an ebook? I think you can. I think you do when the idea spreads and people want to interact with you in other ways. And those interactions are the currency of the future.”

This is why I tell everyone to blog on their areas of expertise. Not only will you meet interesting people, but you’re showing your ideas and your thinking.

People will pay you money to generate ideas for them.
