A Site About Something / Richard Geller also debuts an online reading experience that is the next-best thing to holding a physical book. The books are available as affordable digital downloads that use Adobe AIR™ to bring the online reading experience to the desktop. The site also offers printed books, and an MP3 album of Geller’s music.
Geller is a capable, thought-provoking writer, but rather than share royalties with standard book and music distribution channels that contribute little to the creative process, we cut out the middlemen and market directly to listeners and readers. If an artist can’t use this well-developed medium to communicate directly with his audience, the whole promise of the internet is broken. Just as a good book is more than just a ‘reading product,’ aSiteAboutSomething.com offers much more than just a place to shop. Artists are more concerned with writing stories and songs than selling them, and we built a sales mechanism that preserves that focus.”
More information about the site’s marketing and technology can be found on Geller’s blog: A Blog About Something.
