Despite skepticism in some quarters, book publishing subscriptions look like they're becoming the next big thing in publishing. Subscriptions allow publishers to build direct relationships with readers, create new offerings based on consumption data, and build a steady, recurring revenue stream.

But what do subscriptions mean for indie authors? How do we join the action and how will we be paid? And can we build our own subscription models?

Join Orna Ross and Joanna Penn in this #AskALLi Advanced Self-Publishing Podcast, as they explore subscription models and book publishing.

The #AskALLi Advanced Self-Publishing Salon is sponsored by IngramSpark: "Go Publish Yourself!"
