We want to write a book about the ways creators and businesses make
\nmoney to sustain what they do when they give away their work for free
\nunder Creative Commons licenses. We\u2019re funding the project through Kickstarter<\/a>.
\n The book will be freely available to everyone. We think it\u2019s an
\ninspiring and important project and hope you\u2019ll help us by backing it
\nwith a contribution.<\/p>\n

Many creators and businesses look at the digital landscape and decide
\n not to fight the current. Rather than trying to control copying of
\ntheir work, they seek business models that involve sharing and reuse.
\nSome choose business models built upon openly-licensed content, made
\nwith Creative Commons. <\/p>\n

As we teeter on the brink of reaching 1 billion CC-licensed works
\nonline, we know there are plenty of creators, businesses, and
\norganizations building things around open content. Some are producing
\noriginal content under open licenses. Others are building on existing
\nopen content to make new things, provide new services, and host new
\nplatforms. Some of the strategies in these business models – like
\nsharing your work early and often to grow an audience – are
\nwell-documented in must-read books for artists and writers, like Information Doesn\u2019t Want to be Free<\/a> by Cory Doctorow and Show Your Work! <\/a>by
\n Austin Kleon. But we don\u2019t yet have a full picture of the options for
\nthose who want to try ventures of all types building on open. <\/p>\n

With this project, we want to fill that gap. We will document 24
\nsuccessful open business models around the world and write a book about
\nhow they work. We don\u2019t want to profile unicorns. We\u2019re going to spend a
\n year picking apart these business models to reveal the ways they can be
\n reused and remixed by others. A major component of that is determining
\nwhat won\u2019t work for others or what particular stars had to align to make
\n something work in a given situation. <\/p>\n
