NFT University Press provides Professors with a more lucrative way to publish and distribute textbooks. Academic publishers continue to benefit as they have moved from print to digital to a subscription model that students/parents or university pay with only slightly reduced cost to the student/parents and, in some cases, a new cost to universities. The revenue to professors has been dramatically reduced and is only earned on the first sale of a textbook. The NFT University Press publishing and distribution model removes the current academic publisher (Pearson, McGraw Hill, Cengage, etc.) from the supply chain (campus bookstores like Barnes & Noble, Follett, etc.). The NFT University Press platform provides the professor with revenue for each new textbook minted (and much more than self-publishing on Amazon) and for each textbook resold by the student on the exchange.
“NFT Textbooks allow digital textbooks to be easily resold, but more importantly, they allow authors to collect royalties for every resale. Forever.”–Mark Cuban (EdSurge 8/9/21)
