PRO TIPYour Blog Content In Your Magazine

!Vanity Search In Flipboard’s in-app search box, type the name of your blog, your social network username, or a hashtag you use. !Find Yourself Flipboard gathers search results from across the social web and organizes them by source — Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Flickr RSS, etc. Scroll through Flipboard search results to find your content from the source you prefer. !The Shortcut If you regularly share your blog or website content via Twitter, use that to bring your site content into Flipboard. Search for your Twitter @username, save it as a feed, then let Flipboard display all your Twitter content. !You, The Magazine Once you find your content in Flipboard's search, tap to open your preferred feed, then tap the Subscribe ribbon to add it to your Flipboard. Use the saved section to curate your own content into Flipboard magazines.

Flipboard lets you combine your original content from all your current social platforms, all in one place. Here’s how:

Pro Tips Make Your Flipboard Magazine Awesome

!1. Focus, Focus, Focus Give your magazine a clear topic or point-of-view. Avoid all-purpose or general interest magazines. Readers respond best to magazines that provide consistent, focused treatment of a subject — the more specific, the better. The magazine title should evoke that focus.

!4. Curate Your Cover Flipboard automatically creates a cover for your magazine, but to ensure your cover always looks great, select a strong, high-res cover image manually. Choose a new cover image in from time to time to keep the magazine feeling fresh.

!3. Share and Update Add new content to your magazines as often as you can. Updating your magazine with 1 to 3 new pieces of content a day trains readers to visit your magazine on a regular basis. Use the Share button on the cover to promote your magazine; it creates a unique URL you can post in an email, on Twitter or Facebook.!

!2. A Clear Description Want to give your magazine a fun or whimsical name? Go for it! Don’t be shy. But to ensure potential readers can find your magazine if they use Flipboard’s search features, include a description that clearly explains what the magazine is about and what subjects it covers. Be specific.
