I have decided to share the features a little differently from now on. I will be now publishing YOUR posts in a weekly Flipboard magazine. If you aren't familiar with Flipboard, it is a mobile app that allows you to collect and share articles, blogs posts, news items etc into an online 'magazine'. Later in the post I'll be sharing the 10 ways to use #Flipboard to Promote your Blog.
- Flipboard allows you to put your favourite content all together in one place.
- Flipboard helps you create a 'magazine' for content curation.
- Flipboard can help amplify your reach because Flipboard magazines tends to perform better in search results (source)
- Flipboard mags are indexed in Google Search! This means that Google crawls and ranks content found in Flipboard magazines, something great for SEO!
- Flipboard is can be added to AddThis, ShareThis, AddtoAny and Shareaholic plugins.
- Flipboard has grown rapidly over the last couple of years and now has over 90 million users (source)
- You can create your own glossy, digital shopping magazine on Flipboard with the click of a button.
- It's so easy to create magazines on any topic or "flip" posts from your own blog into your magazines with the Chrome extension.
- Flipboard is flexible when it comes to additional curators. You can invite others to "flip" content into your magazine, a great option for bloggers who share the responsibility of hosting linky parties!
- Flipboard makes you both editor and publisher of your own magazine in the easiest way possible.
You will need to download Flipboard onto your iPad or sign into flipboard.com then you van easily browse stories, catch up on anything you're interested in and collect and share articles with friends. Here's a screenshot of some of the stories on my Flipboard. Each image on the Flipboard dashboard represents a different topic or subscription.
There are heaps of articles on the web on how and why to use Flipboard but these two posts helped me enormously. The first one is from The Edu-Blogger (I first started using Flipboard in my role as a teacher) and it explains how to set up an account, curate content and share your content with others. Read "The flip-a-holic’s ultimate guide to subscribing, curating and sharing using Flipboard" here.
The next article "How to Use Flipboard to Get Traffic to Your Blog" explains how to market your blog using Flipboard.
This issue of the Sundays Down Under magazine features posts from the following bloggers:
