Honest Sqribble Review. Is this eBook creator any good?

If you’ve been marketing online for more than 5 minutes, you’ll know that lead magnets, eBooks and reports are powerful ways to build your list or sell directly for profit. But you’ll also know they’re a serious headache to create too. All that writing, designing and formatting… URGHH. Enough already!
That’s why a new product recently caught my attention — it’s called Sqribble and it’s an online tool that instantly creates professional eBooks, reports, whitepapers and other types of digital books with a few clicks or taps.
This concept isn’t new. There have been a lot of different eBook creator tools in the past. But if you’ve used most of them, you’ll know they all share the same frustrating flaws:
— They have crappy templates.
— They are buggy and unreliable.
— They often require additional tools
What is Sqribble?
Sqribble is different. It’s packed with professional templates, seriously good looking covers, and surprisingly, is totally bug free. In fact, the whole process of creating an eBook with Sqribble is satisfyingly easy and smooth.
Heck, it’s FUN.
But perhaps most remarkable of all… Sqribble comes loaded with some of the most powerful features I’ve seen in an eBook creator tool.
Here’s just some of the things this bad boy can do:
— Automatic table of contents
— Automatic headers and footers
— Automatic pagination
— Drag and drop design
— Add or delete pages
— Add your own media
— 300+ Google Fonts
— 50 eBook templates (in 15 different niche categories)
— 10 different eBook themes
— Automatically create content (woah.)
— Turn your book into a flipbook (double woah.)
Seriously, if that’s not enough to make you want to check this thing out, I don’t know what else to say. Apart from this — Sqribble isn’t perfect. Yes, it’s powerful. Yes, it’s going to save you tons of time and money creating eBooks. But it does have a few flaws.
What I didn’t like about Sqribble.
First, the upsells. There’s 4 of them! It's kind of annoying because they've saved the best features in them. Do you need them? Well, Sqribble works fine without the upsells so you don't have to, BUT if you want more power out of it I recommend grabbing them all.
Here’s a rundown of the upsells:
Upsell 1 — Sqribble professional.
Unlock 150 more professional eBook templates (the best ones are in the professional version), graphics and even more ready—made content for all kinds of niches. (Just so you know, single templates from stock websites would cost you up to $450… for just ONE template!) Great for those that want more variety, content and heavy users.
Upsell 2 — Sqribble Prime.
Get 15 premium “limited edition” new eBook templates added to your Sqribble dashboard every month. This will increase your library over time, and make you stand out from other users. It works out to less than two bucks for a template! (Much cheaper than stock sites.) Great for moderate users.
Upsell 3 — Sqribble Fantasia 3D.
This includes 2-in-1 features.
1.) Unlocks a 3D cover creation tool inside your dashboard, allowing you to turn “flat” covers into lifelike, 3d covers. Great for getting more attention and making your books look and feel more “real.” People do judge a book by its cover, so something to keep in mind.
2.) Create “Flipbooks” that turn your eBooks into interactive and animated pages that turn like in real life. They can be linked to from anywhere online, as well as embedded on web pages with a single piece of code. This is really cool.
Upsell 4 — Auto Job finder software.
If you’re going to be using Sqribble to create eBooks as a service to get paid, then Auto Job Finder is something that you need. It will automatically find you related jobs across various freelance websites and notify you so that you can fulfil them. A huge time saver and money earner.
What I loved about Sqribble
Without doubt, it’s the pro designs, the simplicity and the speed at which you can create seriously sexy eBooks, on the fly.
And the fact you can turn your eBook into a flipbook is just icing on the cake. It just makes your books look and feel more “real” and that’s a good thing for engaging your readers.
The amount of customization is just off the charts too. You can tweak your designs, layouts and everything in-between to your heart’s desire. It even creates a table of contents for you, inserts all your content into a nice layout, play around with the formatting and design, add stuff, delete stuff… it’s only limited by your imagination.
But if the idea of too many options scares you… don’t worry. Sqribble is designed to keep things simple. You can just go with the ready-made templates, layouts and styles, insert your content automatically, and boom… you’ve got a pro eBook that’s going to grab more attention, build trust, engage your readers, and help you stand out in a sea of competition.
About the creator
Sqribble has been developed by Adeel Chowdhry, who is a well-known internet entrepreneur and best seller, with over ten years of experience and has previously created worldwide hits such as Pixel Studio FX which sold tens of thousands of units all around the world. He’s known for creating high quality professional solutions and I expect no less from Sqribble.
Final thoughts
The standard has risen online. These days, your eBooks can’t look like crap, or people just won’t want to optin, buy or read it. And because people are busier than ever, they will only spend a couple of seconds deciding whether your book is worth reading or not.
With Sqribble, you can instantly create books that scream trust, credibility and value, and attract more subscribers and sales.
Creating eBooks has always been a pain for most marketers, but with Sqribble, it really doesn’t have to be. With a few clicks, you can choose a template, add content, tweak the layout and then publish online… in just minutes from now.
Instead of spending hundreds — or even thousands — on freelancers, or even more money on fancy software, I would seriously recommend giving Sqribble a test drive first… I think you’ll be amazed how powerful, easy and quick the whole experience is.

Sqribble Ebook Creator REVIEWED!

In this review, I’m going to be taking a closer look at Sqribble — a brand new cloud-based tool that allows you to create eBooks, reports, whitepapers or other digital books on the fly, quickly and easily.
We’ll cover what it does, who it’s for, how much it costs, what the upsells are, and the pros and cons of this new tool, so you can make a more informed decision about purchasing it… and if it’s right for you.
What is Sqribble?
Sqribble is a cloud based eBook creator tool. It allows you to create professional looking eBooks, based on templates inside the tool, with a few clicks, saving you a huge amount of time and money.
Unlike other eBook creators, Sqribble immediately caught my attention because it has some really useful features I haven’t seen anywhere else.
Here’s a few features that really blew me away:
Automatic content — yep, you can actually use Sqribble to fill your book with expert content, so you don’t have to write a word. This is content from around the web, based on the URL you provide. You can pull content from any URL, paste it directly, extract from a Word doc or from their own library of niche articles. Total game changer.
This is a HUGE time saver and a major plus for anyone who hates writing or doesn’t have time to do it.
Gorgeous eCovers — a lot of eBook tools might save time, but they turn out terrible eCovers for your books. Sqribble is different here. The covers are seriously impressive. They wouldn’t look out of place on Kindle or Amazon, and they instantly look like you’re a professional who commands trust and authority.
Create Flipbooks — this is one of my favorite things about Sqribble. You can turn your “flat” books into interactive flipbooks. This makes your digital book look and feel much more like a real book — with pages that turn (animated like a real book page turning) and make the book look like something you can reach out and grab.
Why does this matter?
It’s about standing out and grabbing attention. Plus, it’s a way to engage your readers better. If they enjoy the experience of reading your book (“flipping” the pages) they’re more likely to get value from your content and keep reading until the end where your pitch or call to action is! Another thing about flip books is that you can embed them on your website with a simple piece of code that Sqribble provides once you publish your book. Awesome!
What else can Sqribble do?
Sqribble is versatile tool, with tons more features I found useful. For example, here’s what else Sqribble can do:
— Automatic table of contents
— Automatic headers and footers
— Automatic pagination
— Drag and drop design
— Add or delete pages
— Add your own media
— 300+ Google Fonts
— 50 eBook templates (covering 15 different niches)
— 10 different eBook themes (1 click changes color scheme of book)
— Import content from a URL
— Manually add content
And that’s just the stuff I saw inside the dashboard!
There’s tons of features packed into this tool, making it one of the best eBook creators I’ve seen, but there is one slight negative point which I’ll cover down below.
Who is it for?
Sqribble is most suited for freelancers, independent internet marketers, small marketing agencies and small business owners who want to create lead magnets, publish Kindle books, create and sell eBooks, or publish whitepapers.
If you’re also looking to create an additional income you’ll be pleased to know that also included is a commercial agency license to use Sqribble for client work, offering eBook creation services, with the ability to create unlimited eBooks which you can sell and keep all the profits!
They also give you a ready built agency website with pre-filled portfolio that you can upload to any domain for instant authority, so that you can show it off to any new potential clients to get work. (Professional websites like this would cost you at least $600 alone, so it’s really good value.)
Also included is an in-built “Client feedback tool” to collaborate with clients on eBook projects more easily (I love this feature).
What does it cost?
Normally $197, but the special launch price is a one-time $47.
Any upsells?
Yes, there are currently 4 upsells. You don’t really need all of them to use Sqribble, but they might come in useful depending on your situation and usage.
Here’s what they are:
Upsell 1 — Sqribble professional.
Unlock 150 more professional eBook templates (the best ones are in the professional version), graphics and even more ready—made content for all kinds of niches. (Just so you know, single templates from stock websites would cost you up to $450… for just ONE template!) Great for those that want more variety, content and heavy users.
Upsell 2 — Sqribble Prime.
Get 15 premium “limited edition” new eBook templates added to your Sqribble dashboard every month. This will increase your library over time, and make you stand out from other users. It works out to less than two bucks for a template! (Much cheaper than stock sites.) Great for moderate users.
Upsell 3 — Sqribble Fantasia 3D.
This includes 2-in-1 features.
1.) Unlocks a 3D cover creation tool inside your dashboard, allowing you to turn “flat” covers into lifelike, 3d covers. Great for getting more attention and making your books look and feel more “real.” People do judge a book by its cover, so something to keep in mind.
2.) Create “Flipbooks” that turn your eBooks into interactive and animated pages that turn like in real life. They can be linked to from anywhere online, as well as embedded on web pages with a single piece of code. This is really cool.
Upsell 4 — Auto Job Finder software.
If you’re going to be using Sqribble to create eBooks as a service to get paid, then Auto Job Finder is something that you need. It will automatically find you related jobs across various freelance websites and notify you so that you can fulfill them. A huge time saver and money earner.
The bad
— 3D cover is locked behind an upsell
The good
— Easy to use
— Glitch free
— Unlimited use (one-time payment)
The awesome
— Tons of beautiful templates
— Professional page layouts
— Automatic content (saves time)
— Flipbook creator (available through 3rd upsell)
Conclusion
There have been plenty of eBook creator tools in the past, but I haven’t seen any that make the entire process as smooth and quick as Sqribble. It’s surprisingly glitch free (most low-priced tools like this are buggy as hell) and it’s packed with some really cool features.
The templates are very nice looking, the layouts are professional and the fact you can automatically add content makes this a must have for anyone who’s tired of spending hours slaving over book design, writing content and screwing around with formatting.
The icing on the cake is the commercial license which is included. Normally vendors charge extra for this, so it’s a huge value added bonus. The additional provided done-for-you agency website is just over delivery.
Sqribble has been developed by Adeel Chowdhry, who is a well-known internet entrepreneur and best seller, with over ten years of experience and has previously created worldwide hits such as Pixel Studio FX which sold tens of thousands of units all around the world. He’s known for creating high quality professional solutions and I expect no less from Sqribble.
If you’re planning to create eBooks, reports or Kindle books in the near future, you owe it to yourself — and your sanity — to pick this up as it’s a tool that you’ll definitely need in your business.

Email Follow-Up Ideas: How To Profit From Sending Multiple Messages


Introduction:

After you send out the first e-mail ad it's very important to follow-up a day or two later with your list. People may have skipped over it the first time, sometimes people need to see an ad a couple of times before they click or buy or the first e-mail subject line never grabbed their attention.

Nowadays Internet software and e-mail filters can block you e-mail messages from even getting to your opt-in subscribers. This report will give thirty reasons to follow-up with your list subscribers. Just make sure to be honest when you use these follow-up strategies.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


#1 Price Increase

Warn your prospects that your product is about to go up in price. With this slow
economy people are very price conscious. If they have any interest in your
product they will want to buy it for the lowest price possible..


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


#2 Easy Payments

Inform your prospects that you have added an easy payment plan. If your product is very expensive, people may be hesitant to dish out all that money at once. A payment plan will be easier for them to budget in the cost over a certain period of time.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#3 Server Down

Notify your prospects that your server went down briefly with all the traffic you received. People will assume that with all that traffic your product must be good. And they will understand why they had trouble visiting your web site the first time.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#4 E-mail Filtered

Tell your prospects that your first e-mail may have been filtered. You can say you forgot to spam filter check it or you noticed from your e-mail stats that many of the e-mails did not get delivered. Either way people understand that e-mail isn't as reliable as it used to be.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#5 Price Decrease

Advise your prospects that you actually lowered the price of your product. I guess the only reason you may want to do this is because it's not selling well at the current price. You can say you mistakenly over priced it or blame it on the economy.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#6 Bonuses Added

Alert your prospects that you have added new bonus products to your offer. It could be bonus products that you added or some of your joint venture partners donated. People that didn't want to buy before may change their mind because of the extra value.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#7 List Problems

Brief your prospects about the problems you had with your list server or auto-responder service.. Because of the problems you're not really sure if the first e-mail you sent out made it ok. People understand the technical problems that can arise with the Internet.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#8 Sale Ending

Forewarn your prospects that your sale will be ending very soon. It will create urgency because they may not have another chance to purchase your product in the future. The closer your follow-up message is to the deadline the more effective it will be.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#9 Quantity Warning

Educate your prospects that you don't have very many copies of your product left before they sell out. The fewer amount of products you have left the faster they will decided to buy. People who want your product don't want you to run out before they buy.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#10 Holiday E-mail

Enlighten your prospects that they may have missed your first e-mail because of the busy holidays. People usually ignore, skip over or delete a lot of e-mails during the holiday time because they are busy, have less time and are spending more time with their friends and family.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#11 Answer Questions

Inform your prospects that they may not have understood your product or offer. You can say you have a lot of e-mail questions about the product so you decided to answer the most popular questions in your follow-up e-mail.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#12 Affiliate Bonuses

Notify your prospects about all the bonuses your top affiliates are giving away if they order through their links. Your list members that didn't buy before may buy from your joint venture affiliates because they are offering a lot of affiliate bonuses.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#13 Bad Link

Tell your prospects that some people had trouble clicking through to the first link you sent. It could be you had a typo in the url, the redirect link was broken, the shortening link service wasn't working good or you copied and pasted the wrong link.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#14 Affiliates Welcome

Advise your prospects that you are now adding an affiliate program with your product. It could be that many people were asking you about promoting it. You may get orders from people that are really just interested in promoting your product for commissions.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#15 Free Samples

Tell your prospects that you have added a sample of the product on your ad. Sometimes it takes a taste of your product to give people a craving to purchase it. Plus, people like free things and if anyone asks you for a sample, its likely there are others that want one too.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#16 Offer Adding

Educate your prospects that you have added something new to the offer or sales letter. It could be new graphics, pics of the people who submitted testimonials, a better guarantee, extra examples, a pic of yourself, video or audio information, extra bonuses, etc.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#17 Free Trial

Alert your prospects that you have added a free or low cost trial option to your product. People really jump on free and low cost trials because they won't be risking very much, if anything to try out your product. This will convert the people that wasn't sure before.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#18 Bonuses Left

Warn your prospects that there aren't many bonuses left for your product. One of the biggest reasons people buy is all the bonuses they can get for risking their money. If they are teetering on their decision they will lean towards buying because of the fear of loss.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#19 Limited Deluxe

Forewarn your prospects that there aren't very many deluxe versions of your product left. If you are offering different prices and package levels of your product this will work good. Usually people will pay a few extra bucks to get the best one you offer..


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#20 E-mail Testimonials

Show your prospects some of the e-mail testimonials you've been getting since your last e-mail. People will read the glowing endorsements and think 'wow, I could be in their place if I would have decided to purchase the first time'.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#21 Ad Extension

Let your prospects know that you have added some extra days or quantities of your product to the sale. Maybe it's that you couldn't believe how fast it's selling out and you want to give everyone a second chance to get the product.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#22 E-mail Saturation

Inform your prospects that they may have missed your last e-mail because they were getting drowned with so many other launch e-mails at the time. As you may know the bigger businesses or marketers have an army of affiliates to bombard people with e-mail ads.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#23 Sale Results

Show your prospects the results of the sale so far since your last e-mail. It could be the number of people that visited your web site, the conversation rates, how many products you have sold, etc. Meaning you could say the product is smoking or on fire.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#24 Affiliate Income

Update your prospects on how much money some of your affiliates are making selling it. If your affiliates are racking up big commissions people will know your product must kick butt and they may be interested in joining the affiliate program.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#25 Forget Something

Advise your prospects of something you forgot to mention in your last e-mail. Usually you want to remind them of a great part in your offer, a major benefit of your product, or something good that happens after they purchase.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#26 Quick Results

Educate your prospects about some of the quick results people have been getting from your product since you first started your sale. People like to get their benefits fast. If other people can convince them, then they will end up buying fast.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#27 Big Mistake

Warn your prospects about a mistake you made on the sales letter or last e-mail. It could be a misspelling, bad grammar, how you explained something, how something is confusing some people, etc.. If people don't understand your offer they won't buy.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#28 Payment Options

Notify your prospects that you have added different payment options to the order page. Sometimes people like to pay with different methods and third party merchants. If people don't like the the payment methods it may stop them from ordering.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#29 High Conversion

Show your prospects some new high converting tools you just added to the affiliate program for your product. It could be a new high converting e-mail that one of your affiliates used, banners that are getting tons of hits, etc.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

#30 Real Busy

Brief your prospects on how busy you have been since you launched your product. It could be that you're not getting any sleep or not having time to eat or go to the bathroom with all the sales and customer support e-mails you are getting.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Conclusion

Grabbing your prospects attention with just one e-mail can be a large challenge for any online business. I hope that these e-mail follow up marketing strategies will get you started on the right path as a successful e-mail marketer.

But don't just rely on these reasons, they aren't the only follow up strategies that will persuade people to open your e-mails, click on your links and order your products. Try to think of a few good ones on your own.

The Basics of Blogging

Blogging is a way for people to express how they feel on the internet but it can also be a great way to make money. Though you may not see it as a way to make money, it is still something that you can do as a fun hobby. Here are some of the blogging basics and how you can get started with your blog.

Find A Niche 

Before you make a blog, you will need to know what your niche is. A niche is basically what your blog is going to be about and it is important that you choose a niche that will get some traffic. You have to find a niche that is not too saturated but also not too unknown. Choosing a niche like baseball can be very common but it is a better idea to try and get specific by choosing an actual baseball team. You will need to find a niche that you can constantly write about and something that you truly have a passion for.

Stay Consistent 

Choose a day of the week where you will release your next post so that you will be able to let your readers know when to expect a new post. You will need to stay consistent because you will most likely not have readers to begin with but you will need to remember that they will come. Do not base your success off of comments and views and base it off of how consistent you are.

If you are able to get these blogging basics down, then you will be able to start blogging. Starting and running a blog is really not that tough and as long as you choose a niche that you have a passion for, you will never get sick of making blog posts.
