The eBook is pretty close to launching! I put the draft on my iPad last night and it was a pretty magical moment. Just a few more finishing touches (like um, editing), some logistics and bureaucracy and things should be in an online bookstore near you!
I feel like we are at this really exciting time in history where technology is revolutionizing content creation. I suspect this will mean that instead of a few "big guys" making a lot from media, we will see a lot of "little guys" making their own little piece of the pie. This is my attempt at becoming one of those "little guys..."!
I am also excited about this because it offers an opportunity to platform for food bloggers like myself to have a way of easily monetizing their content. If this is successful, I can partner with people all around the world to create their own guides for the cities they blog in. This is also extremely exciting because it would mean that when I visit San Francisco, New York, Vancouver, London... there would be something like this for me to buy and read before arriving (hello foodie holidays, I am drooling about you already!).
After much deliberation I have decided to reach out to the community to take things to the next level.
I have set myself a goal of $650. This money will cover the cost of getting the guide into the Tourist Info Centre down in the harbour so tourists can be connected to the fantastic food this city has to offer. I have 45 days to achieve this goal.
So! If you have enjoyed a meal at the recommendation of one of my blog posts, if you love this idea or if you're just plain feeling generous please, take a few minutes and kick in some funding!
