Introducing Issuu Articles for Today’s Content Creators and Brands
May 21st, 2018 by Issuu
We’re taking the digital publishing experience to the next level. Meet Issuu Articles –– a new free feature to publish, read, and share individual articles from inside publications. Issuu users – both brands and individual creators – now have access to a streamlined workflow tool for breaking out publications and highlighting pages you choose, displayed in sequential order or thematically as they’re created. On large screens, Articles have the same format as your publications. On small screens, Articles are automatically optimized for a scrolling, mobile-friendly view. You can easily feature specific pages from your publication, broken out into as many Articles as you like, and share them on your favorite social platforms in a new eye-catching format.
Create buzz and ignite curiosity by turning your best content into social-friendly and engaging Articles that not only look great, but they’re also the SEO-friendly content you’ve been waiting for. Issuu Articles gives users the ability to easily repurpose their content for social media to deliver beautiful spreads and slick scrolls, as well as GIFs generated on Issuu that work wonderfully in email campaigns. Digital content can be shared everywhere your audience lives: on Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and Reddit.
Publishers can get started with Issuu Articles from your Publisher Homepage, quickly building out your Articles from existing publications. To learn more about how to create and share Articles, check out our Help Center page.
