Introducing Ghost Knowledge – a startupy.world dropKnowledge from the people that don't write enough
Hi, I’m Sari Azout and this is the the 61st edition of Check your Pulse, a tech and startups newsletter designed to make you feel human. Hello, hello! Last year, when I decided to take a step back from the consulting world, I made a promise to myself: I was going to use my expanded brain real estate to build cool, creative, values-aligned Internet experiments. Today, I’m excited to launch Ghost Knowledge, a 1-week crowdfunding experiment to get the people who don’t normally write online to share their knowledge. 👻 🧠 Why does this matter?Human evolution can be seen through the lens of publishing advancements; from oral language and the printing press, to ad-funded Internet writing. Recently, subscription media has made great strides, with Substack popularizing newsletter subscriptions as the dominant business model for writing online. But the paid newsletter model only works for a certain kind of writer – one that wants to primarily dedicate themselves to sharing their ideas online, consistently. The model doesn’t work for the inspired one-timer, busy founder, or expert practitioner that doesn’t want the pressure to publish often. There's a leaky pipeline of knowledge from expert communities to the outside world – too much knowledge remains locked behind in emails and private exchanges or behind company walls. We call this “ghost knowledge”. How does Ghost Knowledge work?Ghost Knowledge was created to experiment with a new way to fund quality, one-off writing that’s not part of a subscription or newsletter. How does it work? SIMPLE.
What’s in it for…
As a bootstrapped project, there are a lot of things on our wishlist we couldn’t get to. But constraints breed creativity and many hours deep in the Airtable and Zapier forums later, we are proud preachers of the no-code gospel. What a time to be alive! What a time to be making things online! If you’re feeling the Ghost Knowledge vibe and believe in what the small and mighty Startupy crew is doing, here’s how you can help 👇 Cheers to a world with fewer, better content 👊 A million times, thank you!
