Let's answer a few Digital Magazine questions ...

I am not a Magazine Publisher. Can I benefit from this course?

• The playing fields have been levelled. No longer do you need to have an existing magazine and a mountain of cash to develop a magazine and get it published. If you have a website, Blog or produce a newsletter... in fact, if you publish just about any content at all you can build your own magazine and get it published on iPhones and iPads.
• Take a look on the newsstand right now and you will see there are new magazines focused on the tiniest of niches that are gaining huge readership numbers. You can do the same.

Does This Mean I Have To Create Lots Of Content?

• No! A great feature of making a digital magazine is that there are no limitations on what you can publish. Forget duplicate content penalties! You can repurpose all of your own existing material in you magazine(s).
• Think about it... Your magazine sits behing Apple's iTune store... You are not producing a website here, you are producing a magazine. You can publish what ever you like.

Why would I want to publish a magazine on the iPad or iPhone?

• You no doubt know that being able to write and publish a digital book (think Kindle) is a fantastic way to help boost your own credibility and establish yourself as a leader in your field. Well what do you think owning a magazine will do?
• You build yourself a platform from which you can not only reach your audience on a regular basis (Daily, Weekly or Monthly) but also have the opportunity to bring in other experts to produce content for you.

Who controls the magazine?

• One of the beauties of publishing a magazine using the processes highlight in this course will mean you own the complete end to end solution.
• There are many digital magazine solutions out there for you to choose from, but what they don't tell you is that once you start using their platform, you are stuck with them going forward and they often take a cut of you magazine profits. Not to mention the ongoing high fees they charge.
• This course leave you in full control of your own digital magazine solution. You own it and you get to keep 100%% of the income.

Do I need to purchase any software to create the Digital Magazine?

• Absolutely not. There are some costs involved but these are for things like joining the Apple Developer Program ($99 per year - everyone has to do this to be able to sell app's and magazines on iTunes) and hosting you magazine files online (from as little as $3 per month).
• This course will show you step by step how to use existing software tools that nearly everyone already own to create the Newsstand files.
• One of the key goals when creating this course was to make sure you don't have to spend any money on software tools to get started.

Do I have to have any programming experience?

• Absolutely not. All you need is to produce a PDF. From there just follow along with the video instructions.

Can I ask for Support?

• Most definitely. You can ask as many questions as you wish and Pete will answer.

Do I need a Mac to do the course?

• Ideally yes, but it is not absolutely necessarily. The course also includes a section on how you can rent a virtual Mac online for just a few dollars.

Can I add interactivity to the magazine?

• Yes you can. If you know anything about HTML or are able to create HTML5 web pages, you will love this course. Anything you can do on a web page you can add into your magazines.... Videos, Audio, Interactive elements, javascript, transitions, social integration.... this list just goes on and on.
