30 DC ANNOUNCES 800+ MAGCAST DIGITAL PUBLISHING PLATFORM USER SIGN-UPS
MAGCAST DISRUPTING TRADITIONAL MAGAZINE PARADIGM BY ALLOWING ANYONE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO PUBLISH ON APPLE NEWSSTAND
New York, NY, July 11, 2012 - Today 30 DC, Inc., (Pink Sheets: TDCH), founder of
the online Internet marketing course THE CHALLENGE, announced that it has
received more than 800 user signups for its MagCast digital publishing platform.
30 DC's management believes that the number of users is significant relative to
the approximately 3,600 total magazine titles currently available on Apple
Newsstand, which are typically household names, such as, the New York Times,
Vanity Fair, and Cycling Plus.
Since Apple launched iOS 5 last fall with Newsstand becoming a standard feature,
large publishers like Conde Naste, and Future Publishing experienced phenomenal
subscription growth rates of 268%, and 750% in digital magazine subscriptions
within the first few weeks of entering Newsstand.
We are thrilled with the overwhelming response to the MagCast product launch and
believe in large measure this is due to the opportunity MagCast offers to
anyone, no matter their technical ability or publishing background, to create a
product and offer it for sale on Apple Newsstand. For the first time, niche
content creators worldwide who desire to participate in the booming Newsstand
marketplace have a turnkey solution that is cost effective.
In addition, all MagCast users get three months free access to the Immediate
Edge, one of the longest running Internet marketing membership programs on the
web. Members receive continuous education on building their business, covering
everything from how to design a magazine template, to identifying a potentially
lucrative niche, content creation strategies, and traffic generation techniques
to maximize profits.
30 DC management believes that MagCast most significant value added benefit, is
access to executive training modules from some of the world's top Internet
marketers which take MagCast users throughout the entire process, beginning with
creating a publication from scratch, through publication on Newsstand.
Ultimately, helping users create magazines that not only contain quality content
and an attractive interface, but that adhere to Newsstand's editorial
requirements necessary for publication approval by Apple.
Our goal is to become a dominant digital publishing solution for the masses. We
are working closely with and encouraging our MagCast users to develop their
magazines and bring them onto the Newsstand marketplace in an efficient and
timely manner. 30 DC anticipates a large number of MagCast produced magazines
hitting Apple Newsstand within the next few weeks. Accordingly, we have chosen
to temporarily restrict new MagCast user sign up so we can focus our attention
in aiding current users as they prepare their magazines for publication.
According to 30DC management team, the results prove that there is a substantial
market for small publishers worldwide that wish to provide niche content to
satisfy a voracious appetite for reading and information by iPad and iPhone
owners. Examples of new MagCast publishers recently launching magazines on
Newsstand are GOOD LIGHT MAGAZINE, which published its first issue in just under
two weeks from purchasing MagCast, GYPSY JAZZ GUITAR SECRETS MAGAZINE, as well
as GREAT BUSINESS PROJECT MAGAZINE, which on the day of its launch, July 5th,
became the #6 Most Downloaded App and #7 Top Grossing magazine in the business
and investing section of Newsstand. In addition, five MagCast produced Magazines
were recently featured in the US iTunes "What's Hot" section, including:
DM MAGAZINE
DRUM LESSON ACADEMY MAGAZINE
GO SOCIAL FILMS MAGAZINE
GUITAR SKILLS MAGAZINE
HAPPY TO SURVIVE MAGAZINE

These are examples of the exciting power generated by combining MagCast
publishing capabilities with the market reach of Newsstand and illustrate that
with motivation, content, and audience base, a magazine can be published in as
little as two weeks and gain popularity very quickly.
30 DC is planning to re-launch MagCast in the near future and is reviewing
MagCast's pricing structure to reflect the evolving digital publishing market.
30 DC, CEO, Edward Dale, stated, "Our MagCast platform offers features that is
simply untouched in the magazine industry. We offer a technology that is
affordable, easy to use and produces stunning results".
MagCast is a collaboration of 30DC and Netbloo Media Ltd., who jointly developed
the concept and design of the platform. More information about the MagCast
