Tangent Show #14 - Coloring Books, Government Secrets and FOIA, Growing FB Groups, Trevor Paglen...
Manage episode 344080397 series 3154149
Another jampacked Tangent Show! This week we went to see Sites Unseen by Trevor Paglen at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Downtown San Diego and it sent our creativity into overdrive! We talk all about it here. And share some relevant tips for making books like what the Freedom of Information Act is and how it can help you create content.
Also, we answer two of the most frequently asked questions we've heard this week - how to make coloring books (that will actually sell) and how to grow a Facebook group once you've got it started (see my previous video to learn how to start a group on the 'down low').
Plus... what we can learn from Tide being repackaged, why LaCroix is losing money and Isaac explains what the deal is with the new iPod Touch.
Lastly, we go trendhunting at Google Trends to find an unusual trending niche that is very underserved - and Katharyne shares a bunch of low content book ideas for it. We also show how to use Google Trends to find international niche ideas. Great if you're making books for other countries outside the US!
