YUDU Beta, even more like YouTube for print

.yuduBeta, even more like YouTube for print*

It’s now been almost 4 months when I first posted about YUDU. Yesterday I got an email from them, inviting me to their new private Beta.

Dear YUDU Freedom User,

We’ve been listening to your feedback ever since we launched YUDU Freedom and now we’re ready to bring you even more amazing online publishing benefits. Log in for a sneak preview to our new site using the details below, to find your publications and try out all the new features on offer!

You wanted to be able to upload your Word and PowerPoint documents; You wanted a place to display, promote and share your publications; You wanted privacy options for your creations; And you wanted a place to sell them.

GREAT NEWS!….You’ve got it…we’ve done it all!! We’ve gone and developed a whole new website for you – even bigger and better than before!!

As a valued YUDU Freedom user, we’re giving you an extra special sneak preview and login to the BETA site, before we let the rest of world see it!

What’s so special about our new site? It’s no longer just about free publishing… it’s an ePublishing application, Marketplace and eLibrary that gives you the freedom to express, the power to create and the tools to sell your publications - so if you liked YUDUFreedom.com, you’ll love YUDU.com!

So that pretty much says it all. Today I was testing their new beta service and I must say I’m impressed. Their solution looks professional with clean design.

This will be one of the very needed solutions for print publishers to extend their publications life and readership. Publishers can also set up their publication to be private or public, and free of paid version.

For many smaller publishers this will be a great way to market and store their publications online. This will also extend the visibility of their advertisers.

On top of new document formats like PowerPoint, Word.doc, etc., with this new beta you can also publish your websites, audio files and photos too. So that’s pretty much everything else but video.

YUDU is currently in private beta, but not to worry, it will only be for few days. The public beta will be opened next Monday, 8th of September.

Hi there, I am really glad to see we already have a really positive blog about Yudu’s new site. You might want to have a look at the selling options, which means you can sell your content directly to the reader/viewer, however this involves setting up a YUDU PLUS account which has a yearly fee of £99, aprox US$178, but will enable you to do many things to your documents that you never thought possible! check it out on the site…also you must have YUDU plus account in order to be able to sell. If you are reading this, and are interested participating in the world of Web 2.0, then check out all the ways you can make money with YUDU, through referral sales, etc. next week we will be on http://www.yudu.com, but currently found on open Beta @ http://beta.yudu.com/
