The Rise of Subscription Models with Tara Cremin - #124 The Indy Author Podcast

This week on The Indy Author Podcast, Tara Cremin of Kobo Writing Life discusses SUBSCRIPTION MODELS, including Kobo Plus. She talks about the rise of subscription models ... what sets subscription readers apart ... how authors get paid in subscription models, and why Kobo chose minutes read as the measure of reader engagement ... and Kobo's "globally local" approach. She also discusses how authors can reach libraries through Kobo. Do any of those topics pique your interest?
