Iincwadi ezingenamkhawulo, yintoni engahambi kakuhle?UThomas Lohnes / Getty Izithombe Ungathini xa amagcisa obuqhetseba enokwenza amawaka eedola apapashe simahla, iincwadi ezingezizo ezikhohliswe ngabantu ukuba bazivule kodwa bangaze bazifunde? Kubonakala ngathi oko kuyenzeka.
IAmazon idale i-Kindle Unlimited, iNetflix yeencwadi, leyo ihambisa ingeniso yababhali be-indie kunye nabafundi. Kodwa kuyacaca ukuba indlela esebenza ngayo inokuba idale ithuba lokuba abakhohlisi bebe imivuzo kubabhali bokwenyani abavelisa imisebenzi yokwenyani.
Kwicala eliqaqambileyo, iAmazon ayihloli abasebenzisi be-Kindle njengoko befunda. Leyo yinto encinci yeendaba ezimnandi kwimbali edimazayo malunga nokuqhekeza iphuli yenyanga yezigidi ezimbalwa zeedola Oko kuthetha lukhulu kubabhali be-e-ncwadi kodwa kusebenza kutshintsho oluncinci kwinkampani eyaphula i-100 yezigidi zeedola Kwingeniso okokuqala kunyaka ophelileyo.
Kwimeko kwinqanaba: UWalter Jon Williams ebepapasha iincwadi ukusukela ngo-1984, emva apho umsunguli weAmazon uJeff Bezos wayesasebenzela ukugqwesa ePrinceton. Njengokuba ixesha lihambile, ebekhupha iincwadi ezishicilelweyo ukubuyela ekujikelezeni ngokwamanani. Ngo-Matshi, wayenjalo ukuqhuba ukunyuswa okuhlawulelweyo Kwisihloko sakhe Kwidolophu (awayeyipapashe ekuqaleni noHarperCollins ngo1995), kodwa wafumana umyalezo ovela kwiAmazon emazisa ukuba iqhosha lokuthenga lencwadi lalifakwe kude kube kulungiswa ukufomatha kwayo.
Ingxaki? Wayephethe itafile yakhe yesiqulatho ngasemva kwincwadi. Nje ukuba ayisuse, iAmazon yathumela umyalezo kuye wonke umntu owayekhe wathenga i-e-ncwadi isenza ukuba kuvakale ngathi uMnu Williams uthengisile Inguqulelo engakhekanga kakuhle .
Kamva kuloo nyanga, Uhlobo lwabaphathi oluthunyelwe kwiiforamu zeAmazon malunga nomgaqo-nkqubo wenkcenkcesha yenkampani, ukubhala, Abanye eluntwini baye banxibelelana nathi malunga nemisebenzi yabapapashi abambalwa abanokuthi bazame ukunyusa intengiso okanye amaphepha afundwe kusetyenziswa iindlela ezahlukeneyo, ezinje ngokudibanisa okungeyomfuneko ukudideka kwee-hyperlink, ukubeka i-TOC endaweni engeyiyo [itafile yemixholo] okanye ukongeza umxholo ophazamisayo.
Emva kokumba ngokunyanzelwa ngababhali abohlukeneyo bekhomba ngeminwe eAmazon, kulula ukuqonda ukuba kutheni ukubeka itafile yemixholo ngasemva kunokuphakamisa ingqumbo yenkampani, kwaye eyona nto ibeke umgaqo-nkqubo ngokuchasene nesenzo eso icebisa ukuba izithembiso zilungile .
IAmazon ayiqinisekisanga okanye ayikhanyeli ukuba inkqubo yayo iyadlalwa. Kubalulekile kuthi ukuqinisekisa ukuba abathengi banokuzithemba ukuthengisa kwethu 'kwaye ezo zikhundla zibonisa ngokuchanekileyo imisebenzi yabathengi esemthethweni, isithethi seAmazon sixelele uMbonisi nge-imeyile. Ukuze singabonakalisi nantoni na kwabo banokubaphatha gadalala, asixoxi malunga nezixhobo esizisebenzisayo ukukhangela uxhatshazo, kwaye sihlala sisebenzela ukuziphucula.
Indlela Hustle Kindle Unlimited
Ingxaki ilele ekusebenzeni kweAmazon Uhlobo olungenamkhawulo service, enika abafundi ukufikelela okungenamkhawulo kwiincwadi ezingaphezu kwesigidi se- $ 9.99 ngenyanga. Njengababhali Iqhina le-AG , UHugh Howey kwaye UKristen Ashley Bonke basixelele, esi sisivumelwano sokufunda abafundi, abanye babo abagqiba iincwadi ezininzi ngeveki. Kwaye, ababhali abaninzi basixelele ukuba ukuba yinxalenye yenkqubo ye-Kindle Unlimited kuye kwonyusa ingeniso yabo, ukufunyanwa kunye nokufunda.
Uhlobo lwababhali abangenasiphelo bahlawulelwa echibini lemali elisekwe yiAmazon inyanga nenyanga ( $ 14.9 yezigidi ngo-Matshi 2016). Ukusikwa kwabo echibini kumiselwe ngu inani lamaphepha afundwayo ngumfundi ezincwadini zabo, hayi ngenani leencwadi ezifundwayo. Abadlali abaphezulu bafumana ukongezwa okongeziweyo engange- $ 25,000 kwinyanga enye yokuba ngumbhali ezilishumi eziphezulu.
Kodwa, kuthekani ukuba umntu ufumana indlela yokukhohlisa iAmazon ukuze akholelwe ukuba abafundi bafunde amawaka amaphepha, ngelixa enyanisweni bengakhange bafunde nanye?
Njengombhali uAnn Christy wabhala Kwibhlog yakhe , Abakhwabanisi baba ngamaqhetseba, baqonda ukuba iAmazon ilele kwangoko kakhulu. IAmazon ayinakuxela ukuba ngawaphi amaphepha afundwayo. Bayazi kuphela indawo yokugqibela obukuyo encwadini.
Ngamanye amagama: ukuba umbhali wobuqhetseba ushicilela incwadi ezaliswe bububhanxa (mhlawumbi i-mishmash yamaphepha angamawaka ambalwa athathwe ngokungacwangciswanga kwiiwebhusayithi zommandla woluntu), kodwa ke ibandakanya ikhonkco ngaphambili elithatha Kindle Unlimited reader kwiphepha lokugqibela, IAmazon iya kubhalisa ngokungathi umsebenzisi uyifundile yonke incwadi kwaye ahlawule umbhali ngamawakawaka amaphepha okufunda angazange abekho.
Ngo-Matshi, ibhlog yaseJamani waqhekeza iqela leendlela zokunyusa amanani amaphepha afundwayo. Umzekelo, bhala incwadi enamaphepha ali-100, emva koko uyiguqulele kwiilwimi ezahlukeneyo kwaye umeme abafundi bakho ukuba bacofe iphepha lokuqala ngolwimi lwabo lweenkobe. Ukuba iipesenti ezingama-95 zabafundi bakho zizithethi zesiNgesi, iphepha elinye linokuza emva kweenguqulelo zesiTshayina, isiTaliyane kunye nePashto, emva koko bacofe iphepha lokuqala lesiNgesi, iAmazon icinga ukuba bafunde amaphepha angama-300.
Uyabona ukuba isebenza njani?
Nazi iindaba ezimnandi zabucala: Ababhali ngekhe bakwazi ukupapasha iincwadi ezikhohlisa iAmazon ukuba iiNdidi zayo zazibukele ngokwenene abasebenzisi befunda. Ukuba isixhobo sakho besinexesha elithathayo ukuze ugqibezele iphepha, kukangaphi ujonga amagama, ubuyela umva, tsiba uye phambili kwaye ucofe amakhonkco, iAmazon ibingazi ukuba khange ufunde amaphepha angama-3,000 xa ubukhohlisile ucofa isiphelo. Ubuqhetseba busebenza kuba yonke inkampani ibonakala ngathi iyazi ukuba leliphi iphepha elalivulwe ngumfundi xa evala incwadi yedijithali.
Ekuqaleni kwale nyanga, ababhali ababini ( UDavid gaughran kunye noNks Christy) baqhekeze imeko ebasulungekileyo ngokusekwe kuphando lwabo kwivenkile yohlobo. Nantsi indlela nganye ethi isebenza ngayo: papasha incwadi yohlobo olungenamkhawulo olayishwe ngamagama acofwayo (njengecala, Paranormal bear ukuthandana yinto ngoku), cofa iifama kunye nababuyekezi abahlawulwayo ukuze uyinike iqela lokuzibandakanya ngobuxoki ukuze iphakame kwizikhundla kwaye emva koko ubeke uhlobo oluthile lokuphamba ngaphambili oluqhatha abafundi ekucofeni ngasemva kwincwadi. Xa abafundi bevala incwadi ye-crummy ngokukhathazeka, i-scammer ihlawulwa ngomthwalo wokufunda ongazange wenziwe.
UNks Christy unika umzekelo omnye wencwadi ayikhuphelileyo enegama eliphambili lesihloko elibandakanya ukukhulelwa kwendoda eyindoda yeAlpha, nangona ngaphakathi kungamaphepha kunye namaphepha okubhaliweyo angenangqondo (nantsi umfanekiso weskrini wenza).

Wenza ntoni iAmazon?
Kwimpendulo yakhe kuMqwalaseli, iAmazon ayizange iqinisekise ubuqhetseba, kodwa yathi ithatha nakuphi na ukudlala indawo kwindawo yayo. Inyani yile, ubuqhetseba abudli mali kwiAmazon. Igqiba ekubeni iya kuba nkulu kangakanani intlawulo engenamkhawulo yohlobo. Ukukhuphela iincwadi eziyimbumbulu kunokubacaphukisa ababhalisile abangapheliyo, kodwa oko akubizi mali kwaphela. Ngethuba nje ababhalisile begcina imirhumo yabo, iAmazon iyaqhubeka nokwenza imali kwaye ubuqhetseba abunqumli kwimivuzo yenkampani.
Ekuhambeni kwexesha, nangona kunjalo, ukuba ababhali abaninzi bayeka ukongeza umxholo olungileyo echibini kwaye abafundi abaninzi bakufumanisa kungcolile, oko kungatshintsha. Kwaye, inkampani yenze iinguqu kwimigaqo-nkqubo eqinisekisa uMnu Gaughran kunye neziphumo zikaNks Christy. Kuqala, lo mthetho ukhankanyiweyo malunga nokubeka iitafile zemixholo ngaphambili.
Okwesibini, iAmazon inayo uthabathe intlawulo yohlobo olungenamkhawulo kumaphepha angama-3,000, ebonisa ukuba inkampani iyazi ukuba kukho iincwadi ezinobalo kunye nephepha elibalwayo.
Kwibhlog kaMnu Gaughran, umbhali kunye nomshicileli uPhoenix Sullivan babelane ngamava akhe ngokubukela incwadi esemthethweni awayeyikhuthaza ukuba baxinane baphume kwizinga eliphezulu ngaziseti zeencwadi ezilingana neprofayili yokuhlambalaza.Ndifuna ukuba ngumthengisi weAmazon afuna ukuba ndibekhona-ndodwa, ndikrelekrele malunga nokukhuthaza, umntu oqhuba ukugcwala kwabantu ngokusemthethweni kwindawo yabo, osenzela imali kunye nabo, kunye ne-cheerleader yeenkonzo zabo, ubhala. Kutheni besenza nzima kangaka?
Kunzima ukucinga ukuba iAmazon inokuza njani nolungiso oluza kugcina abakhohlisi ekufuneni imali baphume echibini elingenamkhawulo, ngoku.
Umzekelo, uMnu Gaughran uthi akukho ndlela intle yokuhlaba umkhosi ngeencwadi ezikrokrisayo. Amanqanaba enkonzo yabathengi kwi-KDP ayamkelekanga, ubhala. Xa kukho ingxaki enzima okanye enzima, inkonzo yabathengi beKDP inokuba mbi. Lo ibingumbandela iminyaka ngoku kwaye awuzange uphendulwe ngokufanelekileyo.
UNks Christy ucebisa ukubambeka kwiiakhawunti ezintsha kunye nenkqubo yokujonga kufutshane kubabhali abatsha. Kodwa oko kuya kohlwaya ngokungekho sikweni ababhali abasemthethweni. I-Wikipedia isebenzisa ubukrelekrele bokuzenzela ukuphawula ukuhlela okungalunganga ukuze abantu baphonononge. Kutheni le nto i-AI ingazange iqeqeshelwe ukubona iincwadi zeempazamo ezizaliswe yingxubevange? Ngomnye wamaqela abantu kunye noomatshini abanjalo zilungele ukwenza kunye . IAmazon isenokuba sele isebenzisa iirobhothi ukubona ubuqhetseba, kodwa asazi.
Isicwangciso esingcono kakhulu ukuhlawulisa oomatshini abangaphezulu koomatshini ngokuskena uluhlu lwezinto zokubhala zikaMnu Bezos zenkunkuma kunokuba kungaseta oomatshini ukuba babukele abantu xa befunda.
