What it is like to camp 10 nights for an IPhone

Since making my book 'Bin There Done That' free on Apple Ibooks today it has shot up the charts in both the USA and UK!

As I'm writing this it's #3 in the free biographies charts in the USA.





It's also in the top 10 free biographies in the UK coming at #9.





It would be so happy if they could reach #1.

The book talks about lots of things including how the world of iphone apps came into my life just at the right time which culminates in my 10 night camp out for the release of the iphone 4s last year!

Please help me achieve my goal of reaching #1. It would be such an awesome and proud moment.

It's FREE to download and won't cost you anything apart from a few seconds of your time to play your part in helping me get there!

Everyone who has downloaded it has given it a 5 star rating.

Here are the all important links.

'Bin There Done That' on Apple iBooks FREE for the next week

Writing my book about how the world of iPhone apps have transformed my life has been a very liberating, yet enjoyable experience.

I have decided to give away my book 'Bin There Done That' on Apple iBooks until Sunday 10th June 2012. That's right it is FREE to download.


The book appeals to Apple fans worldwide, those who have suffered with anxiety and depression and talks about my 10 night camp out for the release of the iPhone 4s in October 2011, in an experiment where I convinced 150 companies to donate in excess of £20,000's worth of equipment to help me, in my challenge of spending no money whilst in line!

The book is now FREE to download on Apple iBooks in the following countries worldwide.

Australia
Austria
Belgium
Bulgaria
Canada
Cyprus
Czech Republic
Denmark
Estonia
Finland
France
Germany
Greece
Hungary
Ireland
Italy
Latvia
Lithuania
Luxembourg
Malta
Netherlands
Norway
Poland
Portugal
Romania
Slovakia
Slovenia
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland
United Kingdom
United States

In exchange for making the free for the next 7 days I'd hugely appreciate it if you could leave an honest review and rating on Apple iBooks / iTunes once you have read the book and if you like it post a link to this blog or the book on your facebook and twitter account. It makes a big difference!

The long term aim is if I can generate a million paid downloads I will give my house to a homeless charity after connecting with so many homeless people during my 10 ten camping trip. The idea of giving the book away over the next week is try and generate a buzz around it. Word of mouth marketing is key and every single person can play their bit.

I hope you enjoy the book.

I would love to know what you think of the book, so feel free to tweet me anytime @shoesmith81. I reply to all tweets.

Also stay tuned for my 2012 experiment!


Best,

Rob Shoesmith

Rob Shoesmith New Experiment Costs

As many of you will now know I like undertaking different crazy experiments.






I have an idea for a new experiment for late summer 2012 and last weekend I spent a little time working out the costs involved. You may be thinking "What do you mean costs? Rob Shoesmith doesn't pay for things"

There is always a cost involved in these experiments and the challenge is to use my social networking and marketing skills to NOT have to pay for it.

The cost of this experiment comes in at approximately £1650. The challenge is to obviously pull the experiment off with no monetary outlay.

It's going to be very tough but that's where you guys will hopefully come to my aid. I don't want any of your money. I will just need your help to organise things and may need to ask a few favours from you guys!

I don't want to tell you quite yet what the challenge will be until I have a finished plan in place but it will be pretty soon!

To those who have just stumbled across my blog you can find a little bit more about me by taking a look around the blog and reading my book Bin There Done That on either Amazon Kindle or Apple iBooks.

It's gonna be a lot of fun!!!!!

Stay tuned and remember to follow me on twitter @shoesmith81.

Best,

Rob Shoesmith

P.S I have found a perfect domain name for this new experiment :)
