Now, distribute info and get paid for it with no hassles. Mount your info,
programs, files, whatever, onto our system. When others call in and
retrieve you rfile, they put the charge on a credit card and then get the
file. You get paid a royalty.
Simple. Now get paid for your knowledge, your compilations..become an
electroniclaly published author the saem day.
Here's what you would do:
Send us an abstract of the file, note file size, up to 50 words of an
abstract, adn the price you think is fair to charge callers. While we will
hope to accept all file submissions, we reserve right NOT to accept a
file. We will look over your abstract and e-mail you back re:
acceptability, desire, royalty rate. , etc. If you want to proceed, upload
the file. We will put the abstract and title on our menu, and we will have
all abstracts searchable. Callers amy dial in with modem or through Internet.
Have a report, a list of Internet resources, a good explanation of a
difficult concept? A good FAQ file? Did you write some articles, a book,
or just bursting with good info that others would pay for? Have an
electronic journal, newsletter?

We will be testing this beta thru the end of 1992, adn ready to go public
by year end. Right now, we are interestd in hearing from information
providers and we need to know:
what type of inof do you think youi could mount on our system?
what size file/
What type info?
What do you think a fair price would be to charge callers for your file?

We are hoing that $2 to $7 cahrges will be common..keep the cost real low,
and you will find that you will make it up in volume... and users/cllaers
get real good value for their money.

Let us know.... we will advise when system is ready to accept files.. the
first ones will be the ones tht respond with basic info. We aren't going
to hold you to this info, we just wnat to get an idea of what types of
info, file size, costs might be involved. We will set aside 300 mb at
first, but I expect that won't be enough for long!

Thanks,
