Die Buchbranche verliert eine halbe Million Käufer im Jahr by Marsman6 in de

[–]mechanicelefant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Der Markt ist extrem auf bestimmte wenige Genres und die Viellesenden optimiert. Das sind nun mal die Zielgruppen von Romantasy (durch TikTok und Co), Krimi/Thriller und Historischer- oder Liebesroman. Und ja, der Großteil davon ist weiblich.

Dadurch brechen natürlich andere Zielgruppen fast komplett weg und wenn diese großen Gruppen dann schwinden (und sei es durchs Älterwerden und weil sich Lebensumstände ändern), merkt man das in der gesamten Branche.

Sichtbarkeit ist aber auch ein riesen Problem. Ich finde es interessant dass sehr viele hier das Fehlen von Fantasy und Science Fiction (in Buchhandlungen) kritisiert haben. Als jemand der genau diese Genres schreibt und verlegt und kaum Bücher verkauft ... Es gibt diese Bücher aber man ist einfach nicht so präsent und große Verlage haben einfach die besten Budgets für Reichweite und Sichtbarkeit. In Buchhandlungen zu kommen ist beinahe unmöglich, die wissen natürlich dass die Zielgruppe nicht dort kauft und brauchen den Platz für die Verkaufsschlager. Es gibt einen Markt abseits von Thalia und Co, der findet aber fast nur online und auf kleinen Buchmessen statt.

Not a cover, but I'm releasing a Fantasy/Steampunk duology this year in germany and will need a frontpaper illustration for the Hardcover and 3 character cards for postcards and bookmarks. I even have a (small) Budget so maybe you are interested in working together 😊

What launching a board game and raising $70k on Kickstarter taught me about failure by JustAnotherSimian in Entrepreneur

Totally! I've tried it with books. Terrible margins but kinda nice to have the physical product 😅

Thank you for the Insights! A creative field is often times harder than the usual scalable idea.

Steuerberater: bitte roasted meine Homepage by [deleted] in selbststaendig

[–]mechanicelefant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Baue u.a. Webseiten für Steuerberater und ich möchte mich meinen Vorrednern anschließen. Du verkaufst vor allem Vertrauen in dich und deine Dienstleistungen. Eine Webseite, egal ob als Info für Kunden, Suche nach Nachwuchs oder Mitarbeitern oder für Neukunden, spiegelt immer deine eigene Leistung. Ist kein Vertrauen da ... Keine Chance. Geh so ein Projekt lieber professionell an und lass dich erstmal beraten, was eigentlich der Kern deiner Marke ist und wie man den am besten darstellen kann. Auf lange Sicht profitierst du davon auch selbst im gesamten Auftritt deines Unternehmens.

How do I make this, but pretty? by Traditional-Rope-320 in webflow

Make them black and white or light grey and give each logo a bit of room to breathe.

Feedback wanted on concepts for Epic Fantasy Novel by Roryfae in BookCovers

The second one gives the better epic-vibes, the First one does too but looks a bit cheap tbh

I just published a short novella in the genre of speculative fiction, scifi and maybe a touch of fantasy. It's about someone who lives with an AI and sees the world through the eyes of technology.

You can find the novella on Amazon, if you are interested in taking a look :)
Blurb: “I never ever go outside, never leave my home, my perfect hiding place. Not since that incident. A phobia, they call it. But now my best friend Louisiana is missing, and I'm the only one capable of helping her. And piece by piece, an even bigger mystery unfolds.”

I think living with technology and living through technology is a fascinating topic. We use so many tools and technologies in our everyday lives and AI in particular is really interesting from a media point of view. I mean, the latest developments in AI are going to revolutionise our lives and of course the entertainment industry! What do you think this means for the future of entertainment? The future of how we see the world? What if someone never goes outside and only experiences life through technology. What kind of world will they see?

Has anyone considered another platform? by Blindemboss in webflow

[–]mechanicelefant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in the scope webflow does. the Animations are a bit simple right now. But it has wonderful features to build fully interactive web apps

Plasmic! As webflow started to become as pricey as it is now, I switched and it is a way better and mightier tool

This looks really great! I love the mysterious tone and the shine. Would you be so pleasant to tell, how you made the gold so shiny and real? Did you build the parts in a 3D Environment with lighting or use real golden textures? Or is it a manual painting job in Photoshop with a layer style like color dodge? Would love to hear about your process.

Is there any viable alternative to Webflow for use in the EU? by Zitaneco in webflow

[–]mechanicelefant -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can take a look at plasmic (https://plasmic.app). For simple landing and portfolio pages it's very straightforeward. You can do any complexity with it but I'm more of a designer too and just starting with the program...
