Nigerian Digital Publishing Startup: Reports First Profitable Quarter by BrandSpurNG: 5:20pm On May 25, 2018 |
Nigerian digital publisher, Publiseer, today, reports a profit for its first quarter in 2018, adding over 200 new releases in the past 30 days. The company posts a first-quarter profit of $10,877.58, comfortably ahead of its expectations. Following the profits, Publiseer has launched its ‘Premium Distribution Service’ that will distribute books and songs for an upfront fee, allowing its authors and musical artists to keep 100% of their earnings. Nevertheless, old and new clients can still use its ‘Freemium Distribution Service’ that gives Publiseer a 25% commission on sales. It’s taken just 8 months for Publiseer to become a money-maker. The digital publishing company reported its first profitable quarter today, driven by a 20% rise in submissions and a faster reputation growth overseas. Publiseer has thrived since its launch in August 2017, and traction has grown drastically. Since its international popularity is growing exponentially, the company is making moves to expand its services outside of Nigeria. In response to this, Publiseer has distributed the works of Canadian Youtuber Heidi Shai, American Jazz musician Ragtime Joe, and Missouri producer ANB Beats. In Africa, Publiseer has distributed the books of Cameroonian writer Juan Gutied and Zimbabwean author Godfrey Masanga. As of writing, Publiseer has distributed 92 books and 374 tracks by 73 authors and 154 artists, having received over 1,000 submissions since August 2017. Chidi Nwaogu, Publiseer’s CEO said: “Starting Publiseer, we weren’t focused on profitability as an early-stage company, rather, we were focused on customer satisfaction and retention. But at the beginning of the first quarter of this year, submissions doubled and thus our releases too. It’s good building something that meets a growing need, and which eventually makes lots of money.” Publiseer is a digital publishing platform for unsigned and independent writers and musicians with low-income or from low-income families. However, the platform is open to well-established authors and musicians looking for new avenues to distribute and monetize their creative works on the World Wide Web. Publiseer has distributed the works of A-list Nigerian artists like CDQ, Klever Jay, Erigga, and DJ Jozenga of RayPower FM.

For a Internet company to make a profit, and a profit in so short a time is amazing. If it's a publicly quoted company, buy it's shares like mad. 2 Likes |

ShinyJay22:Interesting! The only concern is that immediate financial gain will not be expected in form of dividend from such entities, at least in the short term.Because they will have to retain and re-invest early profits to establish the product and sustain their initial growth. Amazon did not pay dividend for more than ten years of its existence. |

Well done Publiseer! More power to your elbow. Hopefully we will hear more of such good news in Nigeria. revontuli: Minor correction. Twitter made profits in Q4 2017 and Q1 2018. I have no idea if they have broken even though - if all the funds invested over the years have been paid for by cumulative revenue. |

micolaj:I know it's a long-term investment (but if you are lucky you could see dividends in a short while) not a get paid quick scheme but my bet will be on the business to succeed.The tech niche is quite impressive when it comes to investment as the potentials for return is quite high judging from the likes of successful tech coys like Facebook,twitter,amazon,blockchain technology(Bitcoin) e.t.c. |

"The company posts a first-quarter profit of $10,877.58, comfortably ahead of its expectations." Are these numbers verifiable? If this is true, I am happy for them. The founders are really young, and I love the idea behind the company. These are the type of threads I expect the youth to get excited about... alas, the thread hasn't gone past page ONE since morning. |
