Klatcher.com gives authors the power to publish online

(SANEPR.com) June 4, 2009 -- May 7th 2009 – Silicon Valley, CA
Today, www.Klatcher.com launched the V2.0 release of its free self publishing platform. Authors can self-publish anything online from a single idea to a rich media publication, and start selling their best content.
The great thing: Klatcher provides authors with a range of impactful and automated business technologies that help to gain and retain readers, get community feedback during the creative process, and speed up the production of rich media content.
Matching the Zeitgeist, the site also uses a stimulus program for its creative economy which enables authors to easily earn significant amounts in their first hours on Klatcher by inviting their friends: Each new user receives 10 Welcome Credits ($1) that can be spent on their favorite author’s channel.
“The Goal of Klatcher is to enable every creative mind to make living from publishing. With Klatcher V2.0, we are getting very close to this goal”, says Johannes Bhakdi, founder and CEO of Klatcher.
First channels include lifecasting legend Lisa Batey, Johannes Bhakdi’s Sophotec channel, and Wine Labels for You, one of the largest publishers for wine and wine label descriptions.
Klatcher lets authors keep 80% of all revenues, and uses its 20% to further fueling the economic stimulus program.
“I believe that out there are great authors with great content, and that the common wisdom that user generated content doesn’t sell is completely wrong. If you give self publishers the tools, the reach and the profitability to succeed, a media revolution is imminent. Our commitment is to listen to our authors, bring in the best media and business specialists, and blend their contributions into a technology that gives everyone the power to publish”, says Johannes Bhakdi.
The Klatcher team encourages new authors to get involved by giving feedback and actively taking part in making the platform as effective as possible. Sign up is free and requires only a username, email and password.
