So I'm an author. One of these days I want to try out putting up one of my books for sale using the Value4Value method, meaning it's out there for free, and people pay what they want.

The thing is, if you put up your work for V4V, you have to accept what people value your work at, not how much time/money it cost you to make it. You can't expect them to pay the standard price of of an eBook on Amazon just because it's "the standard."

If you want to decide how much your work is worth given the standard prices, stay in the standard market.

If you want to do V4V...accept what people value your work at.

Keep an eye on Zapit Store and #civkit. They suppose be marketplaces built on Nostr where people can buy and sell goods with bitcoin.

oooh I will! I was just planning to host on my own site...but it would be so nice to have multiple marketplaces!

Hi, nostr:npub1dsne272dyl3v7ru8cyeryym9td9k8jax2f52rues9u2zjt6dcfuqyx3wd8!

I pray that you succeed.🙏😁💜😆👍

Read and appreciated your excellent piece about virginal heroines. Young women need the stories you hope to tell from that perspective.

I write in other genres (eclectic, including theological fantasy). It's always a pleasure to meet aspiring writers.

Following you now, and wishing you all the best. 🙏😁💜😆👍
