Bulk Offers by Authors.
Posted: Wed Jul 02, 2014 10:36 pm
Hi Constant Content staff and writers!
I would like to suggest a "bulk" feature for our articles. Here's how I envision it to work: An author chooses articles in his/her own library to include in the bulk offer. The author sets the price for this combo, but CC will set a maximum discount per offer, say no more than 25% off. CC could also cap the number of articles per combo offer, e.g. no more than 5 pieces. Each author will be limited to only a couple of active bulk offers at any time, say no more than 3 offers or no more than 25% of their article library, whichever is smaller. (This is if CC thinks too much bulk offering of this kind would be disadvantageous to their business, or even to the authors themselves.)
I think this would be better than CC selecting which articles to include in a bulk offer and the author taking in all the loss. This way, authors will feel safer offering their articles at a discount. It would also afford them a way to sell more of their work. Clients would have an easier time finding articles they need at bargain prices. They would be very likely to buy especially if they find bulk offers by their favorite authors.
I apologize if this idea has been suggested before. I hope you will consider it.
