Grab Your Opportunity to Publish on Apple iPad

Long term publishers have grabbed onto the opportunity to publish digital iPad versions of their long-standing print magazines, with much success. However, the iPad has opened up a whole new market for new publications that are made for that purpose alone – to be viewed only on mobile devices. From dailies, weeklies and monthly publications and magazines, publishers are taking advantage of the opportunity to get their wares touted to a wider-than-ever global audience across the age and industry spectrum.

However, this doesn’t mean that traditional publishers can’t capitalize on their print editions. Print magazines can be digitized by being uploaded to MagCast the digital publishing platform designed for iPad devices. From there publishers can add all the bells and whistles, such as images,  video or audio clips. Additionally, they can add URLs to social media platforms, sales pages or any other type of website of your own or that of an advertiser with links in the magazine.

However, be careful not to include too many interactive widgets so as to distract readers from their primary reading experience. The digital story-telling approach should still allow readers to enjoy doing just that – reading. The media-rich capabilities should enhance the readers’ experiences, not change it into something different.

A Fresh Approach with MagCast

Some MagCast users have found that creating their magazines from scratch, without a print publication to work from, enable them to take a fresh approach. A legacy print publication does give one a clear set to work from, but starting from scratch is often best. On the other hand, experienced analysts feel that one should keep the same format and fonts  that readers have become used to in the print publication, online in the digital version. Of course, with a made-for-mobile magazine, this issue doesn’t apply, making it an enticing and rewarding option.

In addition to all the various software packages and content options available to you, you can use the various options within MagCast to optimize and distribute your magazine fast and easily, without any extensive training required. Since the publishing portal was developed with your needs in mind, you don’t need to invest in IT and the magazine editions are search engine and web optimized by Apple for increased visibility and exposure.

Keep Your Advertisers Happy

When advertising revenue is one of your sources of income, you will want to ensure that your advertisers get the best possible value from your publication. This can be done by making use of a publishing package that includes marketing tools that can be linked to your Google Analytics account for extensive, in-depth statistical tracking. Advertisers will be able to track their advertisements from the moment a reader spots their ad until the sale is concluded.

Additionally, publications can easily be linked to competitions, polls and external HTML links. This allows for enhanced reader engagement and exposure within social media platforms.

To further enhance your company’s branding, you can create a branded iPad app to distribute along with your iPad digital edition magazine. This further enhances the user-experience and creates a global reach for your magazine.
