Karl M. Sjogren's latest update for The Fairshare Model

Sep 1, 2016

Thank you for following me on Inkshares. If you pre-ordered The Fairshare Model, thank you even more!

I have an update on my efforts to get the book published by Inkshares.

First, I still need your help. If you placed a pre-order before June 20, 2016, your money was returned because I did not reach the minimum order threshold by the deadline. I’m giving it another go and hope that you’ll take a moment to place a pre-order again.

Second, I reduced my pre-order target from 750 to 250 copies. With 750 pre-orders, Inkshares will fund a full editing effort. They offer a light edit option if 250 orders are received, so that is my new goal because I know people who can help me edit.

Third, I shifted my marketing effort from one-on-one personal appeals to rely more on articles and videos to generate interest. My hope, so to speak, is that a widely cast net will yield more fish than the single hook approach that occurs with an email campaign.

Here are articles that I’ve posted over the past few months:

·        Applying a Formula For Happiness To Free Trade http://bit.ly/2bYYF96

·        Applying John Rawls’ Theory Of Justice To IPO Valuation http://bit.ly/2bKtv6A

·        Class Action Investor Lawsuit Raises Facebook IPO Valuation Issues http://bit.ly/1oZlazl

·        Valuation Uncertainty Illustrated…with Balloons! http://bit.ly/2ckIrdT

·        Shouldn’t Public Venture Capital Investors Get Price Protection Too? http://bit.ly/2bVkqq8

I have a video on YouTube that shows how to calculate a company’s pre-money valuation.

·        Slide deck: http://www.slideshare.net/kmsjogren/premoney-valuation-how-to-calculate-it

In sum, I am using articles and videos to reach a lower pre-order target. If you ordered after June 20, 2016, thank you again. If you ordered before that date, your order was cancelled and your money returned. If this is you, please take a moment , before you forge, to demonstrate your support for my effort by placing a replacement order.
