Is there such a thing as a
good business model
for publishing these days?

Lou Rosenfeld •  Rosenfeld Media •  rosenfeldmedia.com

 Tools of Change for Publishing • New York •  2/15/11
Caveat: we’re a bit vertical


 Rosenfeld Media only publishes books on
 user experience design
 And pretty much only for user experience
 practitioners
Lou, just do
                the math for us!

             # units sold   author royalties
                      100       $?
                    1,000       $?
                   10,000       $?

What unique value does a
publisher offer?
 Identifying a community’s needs.
 Identifying the expertise that will
 meet those needs.
 Efficiently connecting them.


 Everything else is commodifiable.
So... is there such a thing as
a good business model for
publishing these days?

 No.
 But there is such a thing as doing
 good business.
 For publishers, it’s based on
 purveying expertise, not books.
Thanks!
