Ten years ago, traditional book publishing was in full swing and digital media wasn't still very popular with the population of the world. eBooks, digital media and news houses, websites, blogs etc. were present but not in a huge numbers. Most people still didn't have smartphones or other high end digital end devices to read digital content at that time.
However, slowly and steadily, the rise in digital devices like smartphones, tablets, computers with each person gave rise to the publishing of content on digital medium.
Today, right now, we have hundreds of big and small publishing platforms in India, be it books, news, websites, or blogs. Every publishing company that was just in traditional publishing, is now operating in self publishing plus in digital formats. Now people find it easy to read books, news or other important information, or even watch new content on their phones especially rather than carrying books or newspapers around or researching in libraries about the information.
There are many platforms that are purely digital and works very less in the physical world.
What is a Digital Content Publisher?
A digital content publisher is a company which publishes its content on digital and electronic platform. For example, Facebook, Instagram, Quora, Reddit are all digital content social media publishing companies which publishes their content on social media sites.
Likewise, in pure book publishing industry, there are digital content publishers which not only publish their books in physical formats but also in eBook formats which can then become available to be read on-line.
Same way, there are quite a lot of digital content publisher companies who publishes their content online, like news and media, entertainment industry, and almost all companies and firms are also having their websites and blogs with internet. Companies like Blogger, WordPress are all such an example. To get their data published online they all need domains.
Online digital content makes it rather easy and cheap and convenient to consume content for the users. For example, an eBook costs 120 Rs, and a paperback can cost 250. So in the price of one paperback, the reader can read two books without on their device without carrying books everywhere.
Digital Content is rising ever so more now and every company in a way is a digital content creator and publisher.
