Our age can be called a digital era or the epoch of the internet. The days when we attended libraries, whether to read training materials or fiction, were long gone. The readers got multiple opportunities to receive the desired books even without leaving their homes with the arrival of the internet. Once we click few keys on our keyboards, we get all the necessary information within several minutes. The writers are also provided with unprecedented opportunities to become well-known and popular today. The book could gain its wide popularity just in one case far back as the last century. The written work was transferred to the publisher for a review, and if the review was a positive one, there was a chance for a book to be published and proposed on a sale. As soon as the book was sold, the publisher and the writer shared their profit.
Nowadays, thanks to the internet, the author can start his way to popularity through several ways:
- He can create his own online-blog and publish his works there. As far as the blog is being filled with the content, it gains its popularity.
- The author can publish his work in special resources for the beginners and get reviews and comments.
- Nowadays not only fiction is popular, but also different articles devoted to certain topics and projects. Lots of authors write for their online pages different reviews and get rewards from the customers.
Gilgamesh is a blockchain startup, which attempts to follow that tendency and strives to create a platform uniting the authors with their readers, including those, who write resumes and reviews actively. Besides, the system is open for the editors, designers, marketers, and people of other creative professions. Anyone can post his works in the system, get reviews from users and find his buyers. An important detail of the project is that each of the Gilgamesh participants will be granted an opportunity to earn and be rewarded with GIL tokens.
