7. The Popular BookBuzzr Flipper Now Works on the iPhone

You asked and we listened.

The BookBuzzr Flipper now works on the iPhone and related devices (like Android phones and iPads).

The Flipper was the original widget that we created at BookBuzzr and over 18,000 books (created by over 11,000 authors) are now available in the flip book format.

In case you’re new to BookBuzzr here is a recap of the BookBuzzr Flipper.

  • Your book excerpt shows as a flip book which pages that turn like in a real book … just like the way you envisioned your book when you first wrote it.
  • You can bundle additional information about your book inside your flipper. This includes your bio, the story behind your book, links to your Twitter, Facebook and GoodReads profiles and places where readers can buy your book.
  • You can install the Flipper on your blog, website, WordPress site, GoodReads profile, email signature and more.
  • The Flipper can also be installed on your Facebook fan page / public profile. This allows for greater engagement with readers who visit your fan page.
  • Built-in analytics tools ensure that you can get data about how many people have read your excerpt
  • Built-in SEO meta data ensures that search engines like Google will find and index the content in your book
  • Build-in twitter integration which sends out tweets about your book when a certain threshold for readership is achieved
  • A variety of ready-made color schemes and themes to ensure that the widget integrates seamlessly with your blog or website.

In short think of the BookBuzzr Flipper as your calling card for the Internet. No book should be without one.

And now, with the iPhone compatible BookBuzzr Flipper we’ve taken the usefulness of the widget to a whole new level. In order to get the widget code for your book, please login to your BookBuzzr Book Marketing Home page and click on the ‘Book Widget’ icon (in the ‘Book Marketing Widgets’ section).

Notes:
1. At present, the iPhone compatible Flipper Widget is available only for the books of subscribed authors.
2. The widget still has a few rough edges and these should get ironed out over the next week or so.
3. In the next couple of days, the widget will work on your blog and websites. For now, however, it works only on your Freado profile.

10. The New and Improved Freado Launches Today

 
Ladies and gentlemen boys and girls …

(drumroll …)

After months of analysis, research and effort we are pleased to present to you the new Freado website today. Extensive user testing has improved the aesthetics of the site and given rise to an easy to navigate interface. We’ve focused hard on making it easy for first time visitors to understand what the site is all about.

What’s changed?

1. Freado is Now for Book Reviewers and Book Bloggers

In order to attract A-list book bloggers and top Amazon reviewers to the site, we’ve now clearly defined the tag line of the site as “Giveaways for Reviewers and Book Bloggers”. While we already have a number of book bloggers and Amazon top reviewers using the site, we believe that by clearly articulating who the site is for, we will be able to become more attractive to them. And by attracting more of the power reader types to the site, we expect to be vastly more useful for our participating authors and publishers.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

2. Larger Book Cover Images

We also spent a significant amount of time reviewing how readers discover new books – both offline and online. What we learned should come as no surprise to you. Readers typically look at the front of the book including the title, then if they are interested, they look at the back of the book and finally they flip through a few pages of the book.

In order to accommodate this behaviour, we’ve made the covers that show up on the site much larger than any other book site out there. Also in most places a mouse-over flips the book over to show a description of the book.

3. Improved Endless Scroll for Giveaways Page

After the success of Pinterest, the idea of an ‘endless scroll’ has taken hold on the web. A number of sites have used the concept successfully. We realized that this would be a useful way to show the giveaways available in our system. Visit our ‘giveaways page’ to see this in action.

Take a spin and let us know if it works for you.

If you are blogger or book reviewer, click here to enjoy the amazing giveaways on Freado.

If you are a publisher or author, get in touch with us to create buzz and get reviews for your book.
