Since Hulu, and Neflix have become popular, people have discussed ‘on-demand’ consumption, wherein the consumer can choose when to consume a movie or TV show, just as she chooses when to listen to a song.
Can there be a similar ‘on-demand’ production paradigm?
I’m thinking of this because I’ve starting publishing a weekly magazine. Magazine’s are usually weekly, and I wanted the challenge of meeting a deadline. But it causes much stress, and there is not a demand to warrant it. I do have to create demand. But do I still have to create an issue each week at the same time?
Welp, of course I do not HAVE to do anything. And of course, often times a brand new thing does not have fans, or demand. But as I try to interest people in the content, I am wary of promising a weekly output.
Output should be constantly POSSIBLE, but collected into something PERIODICALLY. I think that is the new model. So I will switch over to a Blog, and then inform ‘followers’ when a new ‘magazine’ is available.
