[Simply Business] Creating Demand From Thin Air

Opinion, , , , ,

Makko is a comic book publisher with high quality standard that focuses on digital distribution. The company is trying to do the impossible, it’s trying to create a market from thin air, something that Nintendo did with its Wii which turned everybody into casual gamers. A move that was then followed by Apple with its iPhone which can make non-gamers be a avid Angry Bird players. It’s definitely confident with the talents that it has, but does the market actually exist?

Saya sendiri melihat beberapa langkah ke sana seperti yang dilakukan NulisBuku.com, perihal komik, saya kira untuk penerbitan komik offline sama ‘kerasnya’. Saya sendiri melihat beberapa penerbit offline untuk komik lokal (independen atau berbentuk badan usaha) berjuang untuk mempromosikan komik offline yang mereka terbitkan, yang kualitasnya tidak kalah dengan komik luar.

Namun dengan internet, beratnya biaya cetak bisa sedikit teratasi, setidaknya dari sisi penyebaran karya komik yang tidak usah menunggu terbit secara cetak namun bisa diunggah ke internet. Situs yang juga mengembangkan komunitas selain komik itu sendiri juga bertumbuh pesat, antara lain Komikoo dan Ngomik, yang beberapa kali dibahas di DailySocial. Kini dengan pendekatan yang sedikit berbeda, Makko.co resmi diluncurkan untuk publik.
