In some unspecified time in the future, the lengthy tail is so lengthy it ceases to exist.
This makes it laborious certainly to depend on persistence alone to search out your viewers. The buffet line is way too lengthy and the plates aren’t getting any greater.

Chip is a bestselling creator, a smart soul and a superb good friend. We had been additionally co-authors of our very first e-book… in 1986.
37 years is a really future on this planet of e-book publishing, one that may be laborious to think about starting right this moment within the period of such a protracted tail.
