First Day Story provides community newspapers with revenue-producing internet editions.
AND WE MAKE IT A BREEZE.
- We update every story from every edition
- We manage the technology and presentation
- You maintain complete control at all times
Cloud Computing ::
sharing computing resources rather than having local servers or personal devices to handle applications
Just like your readers, all you need is an internet connection. Maintain convenient 24-7 control over every aspect of your Internet Edition using the First Day Story Publisher's Admin Area.
In addition to managing advertisers, subscribers and content, publishers interested in a paid model can also control access on a per-story basis.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Keep Your News Fresh
With First Day Story you simply upload the PDF's that you are sending to print. The next morning we'll send you an online proof of a completely laid-out current edition. During the proofing process (or any time thereafter), you can quickly add, edit, delete, or rearrange anything.
Click one button to launch your new edition and from there it's up to you. "Launch it and leave it", or drive even more traffic by constantly updating your Internet Edition. Either way, your online edition will never be old news.

A Proven Approach
While our Above-the-FoldTM technology provides public access to your top stories, it can also sell the subscriptions needed to view the rest. Choose subscription options that are best for your business - including paid content that allows print subscribers to receive discounted or free access.
First Day Story offers the same flexibility for advertisers. Popular online ads (IAB sizes: Wide Skyscraper, Medium Rectangle and Leaderboard) can be enhanced with easy-to-sell directory listings and profitable third party ads.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Look Forward
Perpetual innovation is an exciting aspect of online publishing. Going it alone, publishers may find that the drain of data migrations, site redesigns, training, and hardware/software investments can slow the process.
Not with First Day Story. Our software architecture keeps your content and website display separate. This allows our development team to continuously deliver a contemporary product.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------A Clear Path to Profit
We understand that newspaper people work hard enough. Leveraging First Day Story's technology and processing lets you manage your Internet Edition - while focusing on the bottom line.
Our flat-rate monthly billing makes concentrating on your bottom line even easier.
