If you’ve ever said, “Ugh, I don’t want to make just a plain-jane eBook!”
or, “eBook, SchmeeBook! That’s so freaking boring!”…
If you’re aching for a way to create a list-building gift that gets your clients opting in, reading your message, talking about you and buying your stuff…
Then this brand new short course from BrandStyle Design is for you!
Go Viral! iBook Lab:
to make a free gift that people will love, learn lots from + pass along (wildly!)
Dear online entrepreneur,
I have a question for you: would you rather do things the “old way” (that’s not exactly working so well anymore) or try getting out there in a fresh new way that’s grabbing all sorts of attention and going viral?
Plain old PDF eBooks are a relic of the past.
The old way of doing eBooks as your free gift, where you just typed up any old Microsoft Word document, made it into a PDF and then slapped it up on your website – isn’t really working. I’ve tested this myself and with my clients and both opt-in rates and response rates are down from what they used to be with regular PDF eBooks.
The reason why is simple: your clients/ subscribers/ tribe/ people have gotten more sophisticated, and they’ve realized that a regular ebook just isn’t very cool or interesting anymore.
What good is that fantastic free report-gift you worked so hard to write, if no one ever opens it up and reads it?
The eBooks of the future are iBooks. They:
- Have a very real potential to go viral because they’re unique, interesting and exciting and people want to share them
- Cut through the same old, same old noise out there and stand out from the crowd of plain-jane eBooks
- Engage readers with your content so they will not only read your iBook, but they’ll learn from it and see results
- Appeal to all the different learning styles to get your message across to a wider audience
- Grab attention and get people talking about you and your gift
- Increase opt-ins and subscribes that build your list
- Impress people you never thought you’d be able to reach
- Allow you to distribute your free gift in the iTunes Bookstore so you expand your reach.
What if you could easily and quickly learn how to create your own Interactive eBook?
This course is about the newest, hottest, most cutting-edge way of doing free gifts, reports and iBooks and that’s out there right now.
In it, I’ll teach you how I’ve used this brand-new technology to breathe life into my free report…. and how you can do the same before anyone else out there has a chance to!
You’ll be able to take the initiative and really stand out from the noise and the “blah” out there in ways that weren’t even possible until a month ago. And reap the benefits of being there FIRST.
I love to skate the cutting-edge of technology and bring back the things that really do work, which is why I’m so excited to bring you this new short course that’s beginning very soon.
Here’s my story:
Here’s a little about your fearless leader:
I’m Erin Ferree… brand designer by day, and a cutting-edge experimenter by night. I use my own business as a lab for testing out, playing with and developing new, intriguing ways to use technology to get my message out.
When I find new technologies out there on the edge that are awesome, easy, and work, I love to bring them back to my clients so that they can play with them too!
How did I encounter this “Go Viral! iBook Lab” stuff?
About a month ago, I struck innovation gold by discovering a new way to make an eBook that’s more than just a PDF. One that’s truly interactive – where you can embed videos, slide shows, image galleries and more to make a richer, more engaging experience for your readers. And, one where it’s easy to add a lot of beauty to your book design so it’s a visually rich, stunning experience.
I created my very first interactive eBook in a weekend. It was published in the iTunes Bookstore a few days later (which, by the way, lets her call myself a “published author” now… very exciting!)… and stood back and watched things take off.
Since I published this iBook:
- Opt-ins for my free gift have been up over 900%
- Comments and compliments on the book have been rolling in from all over the world (which means people are really reading it for a change!)
- Requests for my services increased over 30% in the first month
- And some very interesting people have been calling, impressed by the book
By my definition, that’s an eBook that’s working!
Interactive eBooks are a brand-new technology that allows us to really connect with our readers on a deeper level. Plus, they’re very awesome.
With this new technology, you can create fun additions to your iBook that allow you to communicate with all the different learning styles – visual, aural, read/write, and kinesthetic. To really reach out and speak to all kinds of clients and subscribers in one simple format, with so much more depth than ever before.
It’s perhaps easier to show, not tell, you how this connection can happen in a much more interesting and engaging fashion than ever before. Just click the video below for a tour.
Doesn’t that look cool?
It takes your content beyond just the written word – and lets you integrate video, slide decks, image galleries, and even audio files and more.
This means you can use a buffet of all of the teaching styles, to reach every single person out there that you’re meant to reach.
And, that you can lean into your most-comfortable teaching style – whether that’s writing, speaking, on-video, drawing or even through Powerpoint – and take all sorts of advantage of what you’re best at and showcase it.
I’ll leave you with just a few opening questions here…
How could you easily extend your thought leadership to enjoy this new technology?
To use learning modalities that you perhaps haven’t explored before?
Or, even, just look through what you’ve already created, for materials that you can flow into this format without any fuss?
I simply looked into my archives and pulled text, photos, videos, image galleries and PowerPoint decks that were nearly ready-to-go for this new format. What do you already have that’s ready to be expressed in this new way? I’m guessing that you’re more ready than you know!
When you attend “Go Viral! Interactive eBook Lab”, you’ll learn how to to make a free gift that people will love, learn lots from + pass along (wildly!)
