I see lots of hands.Now how many of you are on Flipboard and are using the platform to create magazines?I still see a decent number of hands. But as someone who uses Flipboard every day, I want to make sure you are getting the most out of it. So for the next several hundred words, I'm going to share my tips and tricks for creating awesome content on Flipboard.First things first: What is Flipboard? The company bills itself as \"your social magazine. Use it to collect content from other social media and websites and curate it into a magazine format you \"flip\" through. It's available for iPad, iPhone, Android, Kindle Fire and Nook. You can also use a web browser to collect and edit content. Once you have an account and you're up and running, you can go to the editor page to control preferences and make changes on the web.Magazines can be public or private. All of mine are public, but you could use a private magazine to build up content before you are ready to share it with the world. Or you could use a private one to create a gift guide of sorts, not all that different from a private board on Pinterest. And you can go back and forth between public and private when necessary.Why Flipboard? Why not just collect my tweets or save to bookmarks in my browser? With Flipboard, you can create a magazine called Social Media and flip content into it that you can share with others. I do that with all of these So Social columns, and you can find it here. And you can still share that magazine with all your favorite social networks.The \"subscribe\" button is powerful. You use this button to add a magazine to your Flipboard. That means you get the update as soon as it happens. And you can and are encouraged to flip content from that magazine into magazines of your own. Think of that as the equivalent of a retweet. Flipboard will keep track of how many readers you have, how many page flips and how many articles.Gathering magazine content is pretty easy. Click on the + button from within Flipboard when you see something you'd like to add to your magazine. Or, add the Flip It bookmarklet to your browser to grab content directly from the web.

So how do you do that?Our esteemed Flipboard colleague Victor spends a lot of time working with our publishing partners on that very question, and he just shared some helpful tips on how to optimize Web content for display in Flipboard.Some familiarity with cascading style sheets (CSS) is required, but here’s Victor’s advice:Question: “How can I customize which images, headlines and summaries display in Flipboard magazines?”Answer: Flipboard gives you the ability to customize which elements we display in excerpt view, both in the app and on the web. Because these selections are heuristic by default, and not always perfect, you may wish to include hints that our server will automatically look for to determine how the content should be presented.You can do this by adding the following CSS classes to your html:• flipboard-remove — will ignore any element with this class • flipboard-keep — will use this element in the article e.g tagging a paragraph with this will insure it remains part of the excerpt • flipboard-image — will use the element as an image • flipboard-title — will use as title • flipboard-subtitle — will use subtitle • flipboard-author — use as author • flipboard-copyright – set copyright • flipboard-date — set the date of the article • flipboard-caption — set as caption for an image; must be immediately after the image • flipboard-startArticle and flipboard-endArticle — only consider the markup between flipboard-startArticle and flipboard-endArticle For example, this is how you would mark the class to tag an image:flipboard","rssText":null,"sourceURL":"http://magazines.flipboard.com/tips-to-optimize-your-web-content-for-display-on-flipboard/","feedTitle":"Flipboard Magazines Blog","feedUrl":"http://magazines.flipboard.com/feed/","hideOnCover":true,"inlineImage":{"largeURL":"http://magazines.flipboard.com/wp-content/uploads/nicecontent-1024x555.jpg","mediumURL":"http://magazines.flipboard.com/wp-content/uploads/nicecontent-1024x555.jpg","smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/flipboard.com/7d9ae5e29c65256f5a003a2cc86f9996e19cd46a/thumbnail.jpg","original_width":1024,"original_height":555,"original_hints":"color,imgnsfw-0,photo,rgb-137-135-134,still,,main-image,main-image"},"language":"en","rssBaseURL":"http://magazines.flipboard.com/tips-to-optimize-your-web-content-for-display-on-flipboard/","rssCustomClasses":"sysen","authorDisplayName":"flipboard","referredByItems":[{"type":"status","authorDisplayName":"Aida B.","authorUsername":"AidaofNubia","userid":"10344068","authorDescription":"Pinterest: AidaofNubia | Twitter: @AidaofNubia","authorImage":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/uploads/avatar/3d1ec1b5e558bd1d582b6ad3809aa012c00ab85d.jpg"},"text":"","urls":["http://magazines.flipboard.com/tips-to-optimize-your-web-content-for-display-on-flipboard/"],"service":"flipboard","remoteServiceItemID":"l0GcnSf4Q1iSCq1U3R7lSw:a:79257891","dateCreated":1380687670,"ingestionTime":1381918634,"sectionLinks":[{"type":"author","service":"flipboard","remoteid":"flipboard/user%2F10344068","title":"Aida B.","linkType":"user","username":"AidaofNubia","userID":"10344068","image":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/uploads/avatar/3d1ec1b5e558bd1d582b6ad3809aa012c00ab85d.jpg"},"description":"Pinterest: AidaofNubia | Twitter: @AidaofNubia"},{"type":"magazine","service":"flipboard","remoteid":"flipboard/curator%2Fmagazine%2Fz4tRBXqsRViFB2l1cgblEw%3Am%3A79257891","title":"Flipboard User Guide","referringText":"Flipboard User Guide","image":{"smallURL":"http://31.media.tumblr.com/0d8e2edba53dcfc526cd5b1f890a8237/tumblr_mtlwlv83QW1sjtirgo1_1280.png"}}],"id":"flipboard-l0GcnSf4Q1iSCq1U3R7lSw:a:79257891-1380687670"}],"service":"flipboard","remoteServiceItemID":"l0GcnSf4Q1iSCq1U3R7lSw:a:79257891","dateCreated":1380687670,"ingestionTime":1381918634,"hideTimelineDate":true,"flipboardSocialId":"flipboard-l0GcnSf4Q1iSCq1U3R7lSw:a:79257891-1380687670","sectionID":"flipboard/curator%2Fmagazine%2Fz4tRBXqsRViFB2l1cgblEw%3Am%3A79257891","time":5,"count":4},{"id":"flipboard-h02vAsGPSuiFSd0W31IIRQ:a:79257891-1380924252","hashCode":4222764490,"sortValue":31121759901605,"type":"post","title":"Flipboard As A Branding Tool","excerptText":"While you may be familiar with the big players in the social media arena (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Pinterest), there are many smaller or periphery social sites that can be use …","sourceURL":"http://debbielaskey.blogspot.com/2013/10/flipboard-as-branding-tool.html","hideOnCover":true,"inlineImage":{"mediumURL":"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YATq1HAfWo0/Uk41Xlk1-6I/AAAAAAAABX0/VsZ_BAB9Z0g/s320/dl+flipboard+branding+magazine.jpg","smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/blogspot.com/e8b4500164555d1aeebaab5e686a187f33f4a2e7/thumbnail.jpg","original_width":186,"original_height":320,"original_hints":"color,photo,rgb-148-94-95,still"},"language":"en","referredByItems":[{"type":"status","authorDisplayName":"Todd Lappin","authorUsername":"TelstarLogistic","userid":"3139218","authorDescription":"Todd Lappin is the founder of Telstar Logistics, a leading provider of integrated services via land, air, sea, and space.

Now you want more people to read it. Try these techniques to grow your magazine readership:Focus, Focus, Focus Give your magazine a clear topic or point-of-view. You can create a magazine about whatever you want, but if attracting an audience is a priority, avoid all-purpose or general interest magazines. Readers respond best to magazines that provide consistent, focused treatment of a subject (or set of subjects) — the more specific, the better.Create Multiple Magazines There’s lots of interesting content to discover via Flipboard or the web, but not all of it will be a good fit for the focus on your magazine. No problem. If you find yourself drawn toward a different subject or storytelling style, just create a new magazine to build an audience around a different topic. You can create dozens of magazines if you’d like, so don’t be afraid to experiment with new topics.Keep Your Magazines Fresh Change is exciting, so add new content to each of your magazines as often as you can. Adding one or two new pieces of content a day is a good rule-of-thumb. Adding new items to your magazine on a regular basis implicitly teaches your readers that they should visit the magazine on a regular basis. Plus, when you add new content to a magazine, your subscribers see it in their Cover Stories feed.Provide a Clear Description It’s good to give your magazine a fun or whimsical name.

You can also create as many Flipboard magazines as you want, so don’t hesitate to try out new ideas.That said, we’ve noticed that many Flipboard magazines come in a few popular “flavors,” and those flavors are defined by how the magmaker relates to their magazine and what they intend to do with it. Here are the main types of Flipboard magazine we see:1) The CollectionMagA CollectionMag is a place to save and organize content that relates to your own hobbies, interests, or passions. The items you add to a CollectionMag may be interesting, or useful, or relevant, or inspiring, or worth revisiting later, but first and foremost, it’s material you curate for yourself — although if anyone else happens to enjoy it, that’s fine too.For example, Poonammaj really likes soup. She equates it with warmth, comfort and a whole lot of happy things — and it’s always delivered in a bowl containing tasty broth. So when Poonammaj creates a magazine about soup, it feels like a well-curated cookbook:Dexterking’s “Style Inspiration” is his handsome look-book for men’s fashion ideas: 2) The ThemeMagA ThemeMag curates content about a specific (and sometimes quirky) idea. ThemeMags are often visual or photo-driven, and they are intended for public sharing and consumption — preferably among like-minded enthusiasts.
