Flipboard Pro Tips for Bloggers/Flippers:

  • Not just flip your own content. The more you self-promote, the less traffic you get.
  • Don’t add time-bound content. If you share something related to Christmas 2017 on Flipboard, it will go dead within that specific time period. So, always share evergreen content with the capability to go viral anytime.
  • Make it easy for your visitors to collect your content into their own Flipboard magazines. Install Flipboard shareable plugins or simply add their share button into your blog.
  • You should comment on other people’s posts. I am sure that not many implement this tip. By doing this, you can increase your visibility.
  • Don’t forget to follow influencers in your niche and add their content to your magazines.
  • Keep a track of the number of visits you get using analytics option on your editor’s panel.
