It doesn’t make sense. The idea that you can pay to be in the book is off putting. That’s an advertorial.

Why would Seth Godin need kickstarter money for a book that already has a publisher? I thought the point of Kickstarter was to help the little-guy fund independent projects…..not to help established authors get publicity for a book that’s already going to be published anyway.

More proof that you need to have a platform and a tribe to do just about anything these days online.

I also have crowdfunded a book to the tune of $35,000. I wrote about it here and my experiences with it.
