New BOOK SIGNING Technique for when there are NO physical Books to sign! ShoutOgraph!

While statistics point to rosy outlook for the “eBook” market, one missing element of buying a book digitally, to enjoy on your Kindle, is WHAT would the AUTHOR SIGN at the “Book Signing”?

ShoutOmatic offers a new spin on the art of Book Signing for the Digital World!

Enter the “ShoutOgraph”!

For the Fan (The Book Buyer)

  1. Bring yourself, your Kindle and your iPhone to the Book Signing.
  2. Tap the ShoutOmatic iPhone app when your turn is next in line to be with the Author.
  3. With the ShoutOmatic APP, ask the Author to give a Voice Shout to you, using your name and to Thank You for buying his/her book.
  4. Pose and Snap for a photo from the next screen.
  5. Enjoy your new ShoutOgraph for ever!  And share it with your friends on all of your social networks.  Upload it as an MP3 file to your Kindle.

For the Author of the Book:

  1. Have your laptop or iPhone open to ShoutOmatic
  2. The Fan will then Follow you on Twitter
  3. The Fan will Re-Tweet his/her Shout Tweet
  4. The Fan now has access to the Shout to enjoy, share with their own social network and upload it as an MP3 to their eBook, etc.

by Lauren Yanks: Huffington Post

My sister, a huge U2 fan, sent me an email the other day with a photo of Bono, The Edge, Beyonce and the Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart practicing for a charity concert in a tent in Africa. Along with the photo came the relaxed, melodious voice of Dave Stewart explaining the picture.

“Wow, an audio caption,” said my colleague, Keith, who peered over my shoulder sipping the last of the coffee.

“It’s a great idea,” I said. “And don’t you dare finish the coffee without making more.”
