Travel and Thought

Radith desire to start his diary posted on his personal blog when he won the Indonesian Blog Award. Radith also never won the award titled The Online Inspiring Award 2009 from Indosat. From that experience, he scored his writings on the blog and then he offered it to a publisher to print as a book. At first many refused, but then when he had to Gagasmedia, a book publisher, the manuscript is accepted, even at first presentation.
Radit went on to become authors with out of the mainstream (mainstream). He appeared with a fresh new genre. Which makes it different from other authors is the idea that animal names are always he used in his book setap. From the first book until recently, all the title contains the name of the beast. For Radith, this is a selling point.
According to him, as the authors still have to have innovation. Actually, in the first months, his first book did not sell well too. This, according to Radith, the risks included in the new genre. Radith then aggressively promote the blog that he managed. He was also vigorous promotion by word of mouth (word of mouth). Radith asked readers to take pictures with his first book was then sent to Radith. Be it a marketing strategy that can manage the readers as the target market. According Radith, in writing, not necessarily after the book appeared, completed affair. Later, marketing turned over to the publisher.
Instead, the authors should also be the marketer for his own book because the author is actually also an artist. Creative writers who will make her book as a product that must be sold in the market. Although basically the book is not a commercial item, but look at the book as a marketed product knowledge who bullet is a thing to do at this time.
Being a successful writer does not mean there are no barriers. According Radith, resistance not only from the book industry, but also from things that are diagonal. That is, opponents of the book industry may not be another book industry but other industries that are not related at all as entertainment (entertainment), food, and others. For example, when a young child has a 50,000 rupiah currency, it would not necessarily spend it on books. It may be that the money was used to watch movies in theaters or buy fast food. And certainly, the book is not the primary choice. He is now again a career as a stand up comedian who is well known. Radith chose this because of stand up comedy is one of the most difficult droll way in the world because if we see and hear jokes that we still have to think that we can understand the new laugh. Although he includes new in this field, but thanks to this new career he had more fans in the appeal before he underwent his new career.
For Radith this is already common. All you need do is continue to create and be creative. For him, the competition is the key to innovation. Pressure of competition can be a motivation to continue to provide new ideas and digging ability.
Radith is now continuing his studies in the extension program of Social and Political Sciences Faculty at the University of Indonesia. In addition, he is now a career in book publishing Bukune. Radith acting as a director as well as director and editor in chief.
