Can you guys help me with this? I want to put what I see as the 4 main pathways to modern book publishing on a 2x2, but I can't figure out the axes. "Experts for hire" refers to hiring editors, marketers, distributors, and/or ghostwriters out of pocket

X: Institutional social proof vs popular social proof
Y: Paid in exposure vs paid in cash

That's perfect but I think the axes are switched: Experts for hire/Trad'l publishing pay out in exposure, Self-publishing/crowdfunding pay out in cash; Trad'l publishing/crowdfunding give you social proof, Experts for hire/Self-publishing give you...creative proof?

Isn’t crowdfunding involving money as well? How’s that paid in exposure?
