I have been using Flipboard for several years https://flipboard.com/@msecchi, I am the curator of few magazines and storyboards, I do not have many followers but it is for me a great instrument to drive visitors towards my blog and I get amazing results

Everyone insisted that social media, as well as Google, are important for generating customers, so I spent so much of my time and effort in Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and SEO or whatever the flavour of the month is today.

But these outlets don't seem to be pushing traffic every time you publish one of your blog posts. It seems to click-through to your site only a small percentage of the following you've created.

There are many ways for bloggers to surface in front of an audience that is interested in the very subject you are writing about, with 34,000 topics searching 21 million magazines compiled from articles on Flipboard as well as around the Internet.

The more content you share, the more traffic to your site. The more followers you acquire, the more influence you have on the content created by others in your community. With so many ways to discover new people and content in a community of millions of users worldwide, Flipboard is smart social news service that gets better with time.

By creating your own magazine, you can syndicate your content and ensure that it is seen in a variety of topic feeds. Why? Because we use likes, shares, and views as a signal that this content is likely to be good. The more correlations a topic has, the more likely the topic will be surfaced.

It's also important that your magazine has strong headlines and organisation. The greater the quantity of metadata we contain with your article, the more likely it is that our topic engine will find it.

The next step is for the magazine to accumulate a serious readership. To do this follow Flipboard instructions!

Promoting your magazine on social networks like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

Inviting co-contributors—since each co-contributor adds his/her readership and network to the mix.

Creating an engaging profile so people follow you and learn about all your magazines. This amplifies the network effect.

Adding a short comment when you flip. Not only does this add value to your curation, but it also draws attention to your post since comments are emphasized in our layouts on phones.

Building reciprocal relationships with other MagMakers:

a) find magazines to follow and perform social actions, such as re-flips, likes and comments. This will appear in other people’s notification streams, so they will check you out and hopefully follow you back.

b) follow topics and then you will see related magazine recommendations in your Cover Stories—which then makes it easier to do a) above and repeat the virtuous cycle.

and I will also personally add

• Check your analytics regularly.

• Make additional magazines.

• Be a consistent flipper.
