Amazon KDP has a similar system, it ensures authros make money and promotes theri expertise, that way competition for Amazon’s bid price for CPP marketing increases.
- JOHN LOCKE — IDENTITY
Someone is different if they do not share the same conciousness. This concept is difficult, but when you think of a product as a person, you can think of what the product has been through in order to understand that that is the identity of the product. For example, the identity for facebook might be “fas growing” becauase the network had users sign up quickly at the beginning, however MySpace is a different network becuase it went bankrupt. So to differentie your product, understand what the story of your product is.
