Why Flipboard is the Future of Content Marketing and PR

Flipboard is the Future of Content Marketing and PR – AMA with Janette Speyer

I have to admit that I’ve looked at Flipboard before. And I just didn’t “get it”. But I had no idea of the benefits to site owners and bloggers until I did this research.

What is Flipboard?

Looking at Flipboard from a desktop doesn’t reveal the power of it for mobile devices, especially iPads. Watch this video to see how effective it is at displaying whatever content your target audience wants to view. You need to understand that to fully benefit from marketing yourself using Flipboard:

Now you probably have an idea why some people love to use it. They can read all their favorite news sites and blogs, easily selecting only what they want to see at the time. But how can that benefit you?

Janice teaches businesses how to create and market their sales brochures using Flipboard. In the announcement post of this AMA in the BizSugar blog, I mentioned that “PR Daily calls it ‘the next big thing’ in public relations.”

At this point, you still don’t know the power of what it can do for your brand. Yes, you can curate content to illustrate your thought leadership, build a community, and distribute whatever content you wish. But it goes far beyond that.

Some use it as a different type of Pinterest board where you “flip” things instead of “pin” them. But it is easier to organize them and create playlists of anything they way you might create a video playlist on YouTube.

Distribute Your Blog Content RSS Using Flipboard

Bloggers will love this. Janette said, “One of Flipboard’s hidden gems is that you can become a Flipboard publisher by submitting your RSS feed and it will populate content from your blog automatically.” Why didn’t we know that?

You can see an example here: Web Success Team blog Flipboard Magazine. Janette has already shared a video on how to do it and this link: How and Why You Should Add Your RSS Feed to Flipboard in the AMA comments.

Creative Ways Businesses Have Used Flipboard

In an interview on CMSWire for “Flipboard Is Seeing Strong User Growth: Here’s Why”, Janette described a few of the ways she uses Flipboard to benefit clients.

Janette Speyer, partner at Hot Ice Media and Flipboard marketing specialist, once used Flipboard to manage, monitor and track a contest. According to Speyer, “We ran this contest on Instagram. Participants had to cook a dish with a vegan cheese. We used Flipboard to track the dishes and to pick the winner.” In addition to being used to judge submissions, the Flipboard magazine served as the visual record of the contest, with the winning entry gracing the cover of the magazine.

About the Flipboard magazine, Speyer said, “Not only is it inspiring to look through, but it is also shareable and portable. The contestants really enjoyed seeing their masterpieces in a publication.”
