Interview with Jason Lane - A Good Story Is A Good Story
Creator Community Update
June 2013
Hi everyone! We are out of the dark again and have some nice momentum. Since
we relaunched the site a few weeks ago, the response has been
phenomenal. All of the fixes and improvements we've made are working
and we're signing up dozens of users every day. Here are some quick
updates for the past few weeks. We are doing a Father's Day theme this
month and we're looking for any of you who are Dad's that can help (see
below for more details).
Growth & Stats We just cleared 400 books and 4k
registered users, and at BEA last week, we met lots of new creators and
started some new partnership conversations. We're improving our search
engine rankings, which we need your help with (see below for details about links), and we've
enabled online advertising on Facebook and Google. With the little bit
of work we've done so far, we've quickly gone from 10's of visitors a
day to hundreds of visitors a day. In addition to user signups, we're
also starting to see external book reviews and articles being written
about our site and your books. As we learn about them, we'll continue to
share them through FB, TW, Pinterest and LinkedIn.
Power in Numbers One of our biggest advantages is our
power in numbers. There are 230 of you who all have networks of people
who will be interested in reading your books online. You just need to
let them know, so please share your books through social media. Tell
people about the new site and all the new improvements. Also, please
add more books. Content is ultimately going to drive users to sign up,
so if you have more books, you should definitely try out our new PDF upload engine and get those books into our library. It literally takes 2 minutes to upload a new book.
Thank you all for your patience and support as we navigate new waters
with subscription based kid's books and self-publishing tools.
Sincerely,
Jason Lane
Founder & CEO

Dad Blogs Wanted
The week leading up to Father's day (June
16), we are going to showcase a handful of father's and their own story
about how they are earning their "Dad Badge." We are looking for you to
offer our readers some insight into what being a father means to you
and share some advice about being a father. Give any day to day tips
about how you build a relationship with your kids. So if you're a dad,
or know someone who is, we want you to write a short 3-4 paragraph blog
post this week on the MagicBlox News & Events Creator Community
section.

Link to Your Books
One very powerful way to improve our
marketing potential is to improve our search engine rankings, and one
key way to do that is by having lots of links pointing to our site from
various locations throughout the web. Google and other search engines
see those as inbound links, and the more there are, the more relevant
our site becomes for those search terms.
