In addition to the aforementioned Settings page, there is also a Promote page available to content creators that has a plethora of tools, widgets, and advertisements for your Guide. This section provides all the tools you need to promote your Guide around the internet.
Creating great content is only the first-step before publishing your Guide. The second, and potential most important step is preparing to market your Guide immediately following launch.
As soon as you opt to have your Guide published, you can take advantage of a few different tools to promote your content online.
If you're looking for a quick, one-button solution to sharing your Guide around social media outlets, the Social & Email tab has buttons to share your content directly to the more important social networks. Just click, log in, and you're off to the races. The links will also format the tweet, or social post using the meta information from your Guide.
Sometimes the best promotion tool is giving something away for free. In the Social & Email Tools section, there's also a coupon code available for you to distribute freely. Giving this url to someone will ultimately result them getting your Guide for free, so be careful who you give it to, and don't publish it publicly.
We've built a widget that helps publishers embed their Guides around the internet, and on private websites. Click the "Get Code" button in the Website Embed section, and then publish the code within HTML pages, Wordpress widgets, or other website builders. Your Guide, in its entirety, will be embedded for everyone to see. Of course, should you be charging for your Guide, Readers will be asked to log in, or purchase your Guide before viewing.
In the "Ad Banner" section there is a responsive advertisement built for your Guide. You can embed this advertisement on any website, or web service that lets you embed code. Looking to advertise your Guide on other websites? We've done the hard lifting for you, and you can just provide them with this snippet of code.
