Sign Up Now

Remember the excitement you felt as a kid when you found the super secret prize at the bottom of the cereal box? That’s how we feel today. How come? Because today, we’re opening the gates on Snippet to one and all.

Cue the trumpets!

We’ve been in a closed beta up until now—releasing invites in small batches to the writers who had signed up to get one. Our closed beta was a wonderful experience. We learned so much from the writers who were first in the door and the readers who first took the plunge. There’s no way the Writer Dashboard or Reading App would be as elegant and unobtrusive as they are today without their feedback.

You may not think it, but reimagining the reading and writing experience is one helluva endeavor—tough as heck but fun as all get out. Our team has obsessed over the little details to ensure that our writing, publishing, and reading experiences are smooth, easy, and immersive. And now, we’re opening the flood gates.

Beginning today, Snippet is in open beta. That means you can gain access to the Snippet Writer Dashboard immediately and begin working on your first Snippet story. No more waiting for an invite from us. Just register and go! And as always, it’s free to create and publish your Snippet stories.

For those of you learning about Snippet for the first time, allow me digress for a wee moment.

We are a technology startup company obsessed with one thing: reimagining the way we read and write stories to promote greater concentration and heightened learning. We live in an age of endless distraction and overwhelming information. Current generation technologies have, in part, gotten us into this pickle. Next generation technologies must do better. Ours will, and already is.

For writers, Snippet means no more waiting to get published or wondering what the best way is to capture and share stories, ideas and experiences. Through Snippet’s Writer Dashboard, writers have an immediate and easy way to publish and monetize their work in a state-of-the-art format. They can also connect with readers like never before through social connections right within the pages.

For readers, Snippet means short, engaging, and beautiful reading. A Snippet’s length and multimedia content grabs and holds the reader’s attention to the end. Snippet is the only app that allows readers to connect with authors in new, exciting ways through direct social connections inside the pages. Readers download the Snippet App in the app store in iTunes, find the title of the Snippet they want to read, and click to purchase it.

 

Click here to download the free Snippet App from the Apple iTunes store.

 

This is a happy day for all of us—those of us on the team and all those in our community of writers and readers. We’re just getting started and have big plans for the future. We hope you’ll join us as a writer and/or as a reader as we push forward into the future of storytelling.

 

Onward and upward.

Weekly Featured Snippet - Bee Bosnak’s Heal Yourself

by  |  Snippet Writers

We are excited to feature Bee Bosnak’s Heal Yourself Snippet as our Featured Snippet this week, free!

Bee is a yoga instructor who has been featured in many magazines and on several covers. Her simple and beautiful ten-chapter Snippet centers on how yoga can harmonize your mind, body & soul and bring healing from emotional side effects. Each chapter comes with three effective yoga postures plus one “challenge yoga pose.” Chapters include audio, photos, and instruction from Bee for healing for anxiety, heartbreak, anger, depression, and more.

After a childhood of suffering from asthma and countless trips to the ER, Bosnak began her  yoga experience with Iyengar in a small and cozy studio in Los Angeles. One day, she discovered Core Power Yoga and there, as she sat in lotus pose in a 100-degree room, she knew that was it. She had found a physical path that harmonized her mind, body and my soul. After moving to Portland, in the Pacific Northwest in 2010, she decided to take her practice to the next level. Through CPY, she became a certified Power Vinyasa yoga teacher, and for the first time, she began to see the world through a wider lens.

“During that time I was going through one of the biggest transitions of my life. To remind myself of my journey, I got inked with the words Heal Yourself. I knew that the only person that could get me out of my funk was me, and only me. I used yoga to strengthen myself emotionally, breathing work to change my perspective mentally, and meditation to tune in spiritually. In a society filled with so many emotionally wounded people acting out their pain (such as myself), I knew that this was possibly the most important work I could have done. Heal. Heal my hurt, so that I did not pass it on. And this has manifested into my message,” says Bosnak.

About her Snippet, Bosnak says, “Imagine a short, rich, multimedia reading experience. Imagine the future of books. That’s SNIPPET, a new iOS app that’s dedicated to spotlighting authors in a very visual way. I’ve always wanted to write a book, but I never knew where to start. With Snippet, the concept is very easy: 1,000 words or less in each chapter, and with the ability to tell a profound message. That was the most important part for me-my message.”

Bosnak encourages others: “Once you are ready to follow the guidance of my Snippet:

-Allow your beginning to be full of curiosity and full of excitement.

-Enjoy being a beginner, because you only get one chance at it.

-Remind yourself not to let your detour get you down.

-Remove judgement from your practice.

-Don’t be the draining self-critic.

-Let your open ending be free, magical and fearless.”

Weekly Featured Snippet - How to Dominate the Digital World

by  |  Snippet Writers

We’re excited to have Marco Montemagno’s Snippet, How to Dominate the Digital World, as our Featured Snippet this week, free!

Marco is a digital entrepreneur, public speaker, broadcaster, and founder of the Digital Domination Summit. In his Snippet, he literally takes you on a journey where you can meet some of the brightest minds in the digital world-Tony Robbins, Gary Vaynerchuck, Seth Godin, and more -up close and personal, and learn from them as they share insights and videos that will help you pursue your own digital dreams.

We could talk about it all day (that’s how excited we are about it!), but instead, we’d love for you to see for yourself.

Check out this excerpt:

People are the life force of digital. They enter the digital ecosystem with value to offer others and hopes to achieve for themselves. People build the connections that make the digital universe function. Without the human element, the digital world would be a cold and desolate place—if it existed at all.

Understanding how people perceive, learn, and use digital capabilities is essential to your own digital acumen. There’s no better person to help us start gaining this appreciation than Tony Robbins.

Tony Robbins—Life Coach and Motivational Speaker

“If you have the right strategy, you can compress decades into days. But lots of people know the strategy. They may even know what to do. They have their business or they have something they want to change in their life. They know what to do to change it for the better, but they’re not doing it. Why? Because they’re missing the right story.

Discover the rest of Tony’s great advice by watching the video.

Let’s put this in digital terms. The big question is: What are you going to do when you and your company enters the digital ecosystem? What are you going to do? How do you change? What will you do, and how will you adapt?

In other words, how will you change your state and the state of others to tell a compelling story that is remarkable? As Tony shared, that’s the undercurrent of human connection—as true online as offline.

A lot of people or companies can get scared by this potential, however. They often feel digital is too complicated. Bur rather than letting digital control you, you can take control of digital.

Want to read more? We don’t blame you!

Get totally inspired to pursue your digital dreams by downloading Marco’s Snippet in the app store onto your iPhone or iPad now!
