Recently you may have noticed lots of different daily newspapers popping up on Twitter and other social media sites. Perhaps these are new to you and you are wondering what they are about and if they might work for your own marketing.
These papers I had seen showing up but didn’t really know anything about them, how they came together or why one would want to publish one! I looked into this and last week decided to create a couple of my own to promote my websites and further my marketing efforts.
Paper.li pulls stories, videos, ideas from sources that you authorize by choosing #hashtags on certain subjects that pertain to your newspaper topic. It pulls links together and sets it up in newspaper fashion without you having to scour the net for the information yourself. Unfortunately you can’t really customize the paper too much but you can delete sites or items you don’t like, so it’s good to check the paper when it’s published and be sure there is nothing on there that is offensive or that you don’t approve of.
My first paper.li is called ‘All Things Bridal’ You can check it out to see what paper.li is all about and if this idea appeals to you!
Choose a name for your paper.li that reflects your topic, choose your relevant news sources, choose your keywords wisely and let the paper to the rest for you!
I have a couple of papers now. Wish I had more time to give to editing them.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome Barb, I hope it gets you more exposure! They pretty much edit themselves but it's good to check to make sure nothing offensive slips in! Thanks for commenting! :-)
