Product platform
IndieOATs
A monthly box of independent comics and literature, matched to a reader instead of packed at random. The name indieOATs is short for indie ones and twos because we focus on stand alone books or just the first two books in a series.
Problem
Readers want independent comics and literature without a random or clearance box, and creators needed paid placement that fits the audience.
Approach
Readers take a taste quiz covering format, genres, intensity, themes, and hard exclusions, then choose Basic or Premium, with shipping included. Matching is rules plus a human lock on each monthly cycle. Hard exclusions cannot be overridden.
Outcomes
- Subscribers receive a box matched to the taste they stated.
- Creators earn 70% of declared retail for each placed copy.
Notes
Shipping covers the contiguous United States for the first release. There is no marketplace cart, no digital formats, and creators do not fulfill the boxes themselves.
