Let’s face it, we all want
more traffic, more subscribers and more daily sales. And there’s one simple
solution that still works like gangbusters for this — eBooks.
Whether it’s a powerful lead
magnet such as a free report or whitepaper, or a Kindle book that you sell
daily… digital books are still an awesome way to attract traffic and sales for
almost any type of business.
But there’s just one problem
— creating them can cause all kinds of headaches. Writing, formatting,
designing… it can take days or even weeks to create an eBook, plus a steep
learning curve and a handful of expensive tools you’ll need to master… before
you’ve even hit publish!
But there’s a brand-new tool on the market that promises to change all that. It’s called Sqribble.
What is Sqribble?
Sqribble is a cloud-based
tool that allows you to create eBooks (reports, whitepapers, etc.) in seconds.
It uses ready—made templates and drag n’ drop design features that make
self-publishing your eBooks a breeze.
How does it work?
When you log into Sqribble,
you’ll see a bunch of eBook templates to choose from. These are all based on
different categories, so you’ll need to find one that matches your
market/topic/niche.
Once you’ve selected the
template you want to use, you simply click “view” to see how your eBook will
look (don’t worry, we’ll add your content next.)
In this view screen, you can
see how the book will be laid out and get a feel for the style. If you don’t
like it, you can always go back and choose another template (there’s 50
templates to choose from, and you can also edit the templates too, in all kinds
of ways.)
You’ll notice that the
layouts and designs are very slick. They look like professional publications!
Next, you’ll be asked where
you want to source your content for the book. You can choose:
— Grab from a URL
— Start from scratch
— Copy and paste manually
— Upload Word File
— Start from Article
Collection
Let’s take a closer look at
these options.
— Grab from a URL
This allows you to insert
any URL you want, and Sqribble will automatically pull the content from that
page and insert into your book. It strips the html code and only inserts the
text from the page. This is my favorite method, because it saves a ton of time, and
allows you to use expert content (with credits) so you can target topics and
niches you’re not an expert in!
— Start from scratch
As it sounds, this option
allows you to enter your content like you’d enter it into a Word document. You
just type straight into the page.
— Copy and paste manually
This allows you to copy content from anywhere you want, and paste into the book, where the book will format and lay it out for you professionally.
— Upload Word File
You can get Sqribble to pull
your content straight from a Word document, stripping out any code or weird
formatting.
— Start from Article
Collection
Here you can extract content
from Sqribble’s huge library of private label articles which you can use for
free, without crediting authors or linking to the source. It’s another great
way to quickly fill your book with content, for free!
Finally, you’ll move to an
editing screen, where you can resize text, move content around, edit text
directly, add media, links, lists, call to action areas, new pages, and a whole
bunch of other options for customizing the look and feel of individual pages or
the entire book.
You can even add new pages
that use a totally different layout to the rest of your book, giving you a huge
amount of flexibility and endless options for your book.
While editing, another thing
I really liked was the Themes option. With a single click, you can instantly
change the color theme and font style of your entire book. It’s like giving
your book a new “skin” and it’s just one more feature that sets Sqribble apart
from the other tools out there.
Finally, when you’re ready
to publish, you hit the little “Generate eBook” button in the top right corner
of the screen and voila, your book is now ready!
You can either open the book
in a browser to preview it quickly or save as PDF.
Is Sqribble right for you?
If you’re already creating
lead magnets or eBooks for sale, then I have no doubt that Sqribble is going to
save you hours of work and tons of money on freelancers (if you outsource the
design or writing side of it.)
For that reason, I truly
believe that Sqribble is well worth the investment and perfectly suited for
most small to medium size businesses, especially self-publishers and info
marketers.
It’s also a great tool to
use if you’re a freelancer or agency, working with clients to create
professional eBooks (includes
commercial rights, plus a done for you agency website, which is a big bonus!).
You could easily charge $100’s for this service, and with Sqribble, you could
get the work done in way less time than it wouldn’t normally take you.
The bad
— Some of my favorite
features are locked behind upsells (3D covers and Flipbook feature)
— When inserting content
from a URL, you need to cite the URL source and/or credit the original author
of the content, if it’s not your own (this isn’t really Sqribble’s fault — it’s
just the law!)
The good
— Easy to use
— Glitch free
— Unlimited use (one-time
payment)
The awesome
— Tons of excellent eBook
templates
— Professional page layouts
— Automatic content
— 3D cover creator
(available through upsells)
— Flipbook creator
(available through upsells)
— Free commercial agency +
website included!
Price
A one-time $47 (later will
be increased to $197).
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.
Overall verdict
There’s no doubt, Sqribble
is a powerful eBook creation tool. Unlike other tools, it’s packed with
everything you need to start cranking out professional looking books, reports,
whitepapers and more in seconds.
With automatic content, drag
n’ drop editing, plus a host of templates and designs ready to customize, you’d
struggle to find a more seamless eBook publishing tool than this.
Being cloud based is a big
bonus too. No need to download any software that clogs up your computer.
Whether you’re casually publishing books or you’re constantly creating lead gen
reports for yourself or clients, Sqribble can — and WILL — save you hours of
hassle and potentially thousands of dollars in freelance fees over the coming
months and years. For that reason alone, it gets my full seal of approval.
