5 Reasons Why You Should have Your Story on iBooks.
Lots of people have asked me why I published on iBooks. OK well I’ll hit you with 5 amazing reasons why the iPad rocks and is here to stay for books:
1. When it was announced, the late, great Steve Jobs called the iPad a magical and revolutionary device. And you know what – he was right. You can do things with your story on iPad that are impossible on any other device.
2. The iPad holds the Guinness world record for the fastest selling consumer electronics device in history. More than a quarter of BILLION iPads have been sold in the last five years. That’s an awful lot of potential customers!
3. The iPad killed the netbook category because it was just so good. Why would people bother to buy an ultra cheap laptop when they could have an iPad? Answer – they didn’t. Netbooks are dead.
4. Of all the devices in the Apple stable nothing is more amazing than the iPad. It’s the world’s most popular tablet. A device all users love. An elegantly simple 1lb amalgamation of aluminium and toughened glass. It doesn’t break, crash, or overheat. It will work whether you’re on WiFi or 3G. It’s so easy, even a child can use it, and they do. From 5 to 105 anyone can use the Sword of Air on their iPad.
5. When someone reads your story you want them to be wowed and entranced. By swiping and interacting with the story by touch, it breaks down the ‘fourth wall’ in your mind between yourself and the novel. The music, the imagery, the video all contribute to the enhancing the fantasy world. In short it makes it all more real in your head.
The iPad. The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively have to kill every competitor in the room. Accept no substitutes (:
We’re in a world where publishers wont speak to you unless you’re a celebrity, are an established writer or have an agent already. Agents get sent 100’s of manuscripts a week and unless you’re the lottery ticket winner who gets picked out of the slush pile – where does that leave you?
On. Your. Own. Floating in an ocean of stories and the many brilliant writers out there.
So I thought – TEAR IT UP! Do something amazing. And make them come to you.
I had to do something inspiring, different and which gave me a Unique Selling Point (USP) compared to all the other books out there.
