The issue with designrr is apart from finding it hard to use, it was not easy as advertised. And my main bug bear is they garnish your account yearly so if you don't use it make sure you unsuscribe and close your account. I didn't notice they were charging me for three years. Until tonight when I saw my account had been accessed. They invoice and bill you at the same time then its hard work to get refunded. I gave up using it after two weeks and being busy. I didn't register the fact that I had to unsuscribe to stop the payments and being busy did not notice it. I was expecting it to be easy and quick as advertised. It did not live up the promise from my point of view.
Sorry to hear about your experience. I purchased the $27 special lifetime deal and later upgraded to pro for a one time fee as well. I’ve had great interaction with their support so hearing your story comes as a surprise to me. Thanks for sharing!
I would immediately call and contact my bank and simply say *I hadn't realized until NOW that my account had kept being accessed for funds I had unsuscribed from on such & such a date* and let them see if they can then refund you some of your missing money.
This has been my experience as well. The low entry price ($27) is a way to get people to pay for a trial. I was looking for a way to add colored fonts in my book. I asked Help after reading a help article indicating that a change to a font would change the entire book. I asked specifically if there was a way around this. I got referred back to the article I had read and I received an email saying they assumed this answered my question. Interestingly, I found a way to make some text a different color than the rest of the book. I found my formatting was lost (pagination, headings, etc...) in importing my book and my images were cropped. And the editing interface is very clunky. Thanks for your warning -- I went back and checked to make sure I had no subscriptions. And, yes that was clunky, too.
The writing in Designrr is not as flexible as chatgpt even though it relies on chatgpt to do writing. There's a lot of editing and refining the writing if you want the content to be good and smart.
Beware because for 27$ you can’t export epub, pdf only and flip. I bought the 27$ and maybe I will get a refund because the basic Canva can also do in the free version
Thank you for this video Ken I am thinking to avail but dont know how to used it,,,I plan to used it on my own personal blog related to my wellness business online
You're welcome. Thank you for watching my video! So one way you could use Designrr is to take the content you've written for your blog and create an eBook lead magnet that you can give away to visitors in exchange for their email addresses. Building an email list is essential for growing your business because once you get them on your email list you can send them emails alerting them to new content on your blog and also run promotions to your subscriber list for products that you personally recommend. You can also take that lead magnet eBook and convert it into a flipbook that's embedded on your website. Flipbooks are interactive and sharable. I primarily use Desginrr to create PDF eBooks that I give away as lead magnets. Since then, I've also upgraded to a higher-tiered plan in order to use their UA-cam video to PDF feature since I make a lot of UA-cam videos. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to answer them. You can also contact their support team directly using the blue chat bubble that's located on the lower righthand corner of their website. You do not need to be a customer in order to ask them questions. Hope this helps!
..as always awesome Ken, i have purchased designer a couple of weeks back, I'm planning to convert all my actual books to e-books, my main concern is piracy, I'm from the Philippines and people here pirate everything...
@@kenfurukawamarketing i will try to experiment with the flipbook option and give an access to the ones who paid in my site, do you have a better idea? pdf password can prevent some but it's still not that effective.
@@onlinenursereviewalternati3756 I think you just need to experiment and see what works. Password protection sounds good for the flip book option. Maybe reach out to their support team to see what they recommend?
I cannot support this software at all. Have purchased it. Its incredibly slow, messes up your formatting and support is well meant but in reality non existing. Waste of money.
Surprisingly, I've written 2 comments, asking for help to understand why the 27 Dollars plan and standard. Still haven't gotten any answers from their UA-cam after how long
the company seems to be run by 2 -3 guys and has nearly no technical support . They do give you most your money back if you ask for a refund. and you do get it in 1 business day but they take out around $7 - $15 dollars from your fee.... This would be a great software but it needs a reall CS system and get rid of all the problems.
Looks like it might be fine for quick ebooks on affiliate marketing or something like that, but what about serious in-depth non-fiction? How accurate is the information it can dig up, and how well does it put it together?
Yes, you can. I created a tutorial on how to create a flipbook and here is where I show you how to embed the flipbook on your website. ua-cam.com/video/bcJ-_42HmY0/v-deo.html
I have the $27 plan but I need to use it more than I have. Do they have an affiliate program? Does any affiliate here want to give me a discount on the Pro Plan?
Mike - The link is located on the top menu bar near the help option. You have to be logged in to see it - screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cr1fIPVhasg I don't have a discount for the Pro Plan, but maybe someone does. Otherwise I'd reach out to Designnr directly to see if they can provide one to you.
@@kenfurukawamarketing Thanks Ken I'll try that. Also, I want to thank you for being extremely honest with your reviews. (There are many many reviewers out there that just want to sell what they are reviewing, whether it's good or bad). I just want to shake your hand for your honesty. :o)
Thank you, @Mike Loughead! Your trust means a lot to me. I used buy a lot of products because of people promoting anything under the sun. I wasted a lot of money (not to mention time). Not anymore! The goal of my channel is to provide an honest opinion about a product. If it's good, I may even consider promoting it. But sometimes I don't because I just want to provide value to anyone watching. If it's a bad product, I let my audience know and will never promote it. That's no way to build a long-term relationship with your audience. Plus I like to sleep at night. Thank you so much for watching! Have a great weekend!
You would need a Pro or higher plan to create a .mobi / ePub or Kindle eBook. That being said, you could try and use a free file converter. But I'm not sure how effective that is as I don't use Designrr for Amazon KDP. If you have any other questions, go to designrr.io, click on the chat icon and speak directly to their customer service team.
Hi Daniel, I haven't evaluated Sqribble so I can't give you an opinion on it. Designnr is very easy to use and is constantly being updated. The support has been great. I have no complaints about it and recently upgraded my plan. Designrr has a comparison blog post that might interest you. Granted it's written by them, but they bring up important points to consider. You can check it out here - designrr.io/sqribble-review-vs-designrr/
It's mainly meant for eBooks. I suppose you could download the PDF and try to get that printed. I recommend reaching out to their support team to see what they say because I'm sure other people have asked. Head over to their webpage and click on the blue chat icon to start a conversation.
You can use Designrr to build ebooks for Amazon KDP, but this feature is only available on their Pro Plan (not the Standard Plan). The Pro Plan will allow you to export your projects to Kindle, iBooks, ePub.
A friend of mine just told me that most PDFs can convert to mobi files. She says she uses a free tool at convertio.co/pdf-mobi/ . Might be worth checking out to see if it works for you, especially if you're on a budget.
Well, there's no guarantee. She said "most" PDFs can be converted to mobi files. So I guess that would depend on the PDF size, etc. I believe the $27 one time price comes with a 30 money back guarantee. So you could get it and immediately test it out to see if it works.
For any questions, please reach out to Designnr directly. On the bottom righthand corner of their webpage, they have a support chat icon. You can ask them anything you want.
