Use Flipboard to Get Traffic to Your Blogger Blog

Flipboard to Get Traffic
Flipboard, which was started as a magazine-style feed reader some time back, is now one of the top choices for feed reading and content discovery on various devices (smartphones, tablets and desktops).
I have previously featured Flipboard in my post on best blogging apps for iPad, and today I will be sharing how you can drive traffic from Flipboard.
Back in 2013, Flipboard was reported to have 90 million users, which is an astonishing number. Remember, these users are people who are using Flipboard for content discovery and for reading that content.
Flipboard was started as a simple app to enhance the reading experience of mobile users.  Flipboard has gone through various iterations in the past few years, and is now a full-fledged product for consumers or for webmasters like you and me. I can’t promise how much traffic you would be driving from Flipboard, but when I was going through the most recent version of their app, it appeared promising toward the possibility of allowing me to ditch my existing similar apps like Zite and Prismatic in exchange for  Flipboard.

How to market your blog using Flipboard:

Flipboard is taking the route of the proven growth hacking technique (content curation) to take it to the next level. From being a simple content reading app, they have progressed to becoming a more personalized reading app. Flipboard now allows you to read content from your social-media timeline, subscribe to any feed, and follow any topic created by others. Most importantly, Flipboard let’s you create your own Flipboard magazine for content curation.
The power of Flipboard for business is in the simplicity of following any person on Flipboard or following a magazine created by them. The idea is not unique, but the way Flipboard has integrated these features within their app is appreciable.
Note:  Flipboard is no longer a mobile-specific app, as they have launched a web version as well. So even if you are not a Flipboard app user, you can take advantage of their recently launched website for desktop users, and use it for your marketing or reading pleasure.

Let me show you the exact steps you need to take when using Flipboard to get traffic or give exposure to your business:
Magazines are the powerhouse to get Flipboard to work for you:
If you are not new to content curation, getting started with Flipboard magazine will be as easy as pie. If, however, content curation is a foreign subject to you, allow me to briefly explain:
Content curation is a technique geared toward finding the best content from the web and consolidating it in one place. You can do it on your blog, or you can do it using any of the online content curation sites.
There are people who are making money from content curation.  Here is a post where you can find a list of content curation tools.
