Subject: Business on the Web chats restart this Thursday,
        March 28 -- Yaga revisited: business models for selling content online,
        building a digital content marketplace

BUSINESS ON THE WEB  -- Where "word of keystroke" begins

On Thursday, March 28, from noon to 1 PM (Eastern Time) we'll restart our
Business on the Web chat sessions, with Arnaud Fischer from Yaga as our
guest. Yaga has been striving to build a digital content marketplace based
on P2P  and online payment technology. We want to find out what they have
learned -- what works and what doesn't and why.

To connect, go to http://www.samizdat.com/chat-intro.html We'll be on, as
usual, from noon to 1 PM Eastern Time (GMT -5).

While taking a break from chats I was building a business publishing books
on CD ROM and set up an online store. Please take a look at
http://store.yahoo.com/samizdat and send me your feedback.

As a followup, in future weeks, I'd like to chats about:
*online stores -- where to build them and how to promote them
*building, selling, and reading ebooks the easy way (for use on PCs, without
encryption; e.g., plain text ebooks on CD ROM

If you know people with experience and interest in these area, please let me
know so I can send them special invitations.Please join us this Thursday,
March 28, from noon to 1 PM (Eastern Time). We'll restart our Business on
the Web chat

For links to transcripts of previous sessions, check
http://www.samizdat.com/chat.html (You'll find there two previous sessions
about Yaga and its unusual and rapidly evolving business model).

Please let me know your suggestions for other guests and topics. I'm looking
for interesting and innovative business models, products, and services.

Please send email with your follow-on questions and comments, and requests
to receive email reminders about upcoming sessions.

Best wishes.

Richard
