How to Get started with Paper.li
Blogging is a great way to establish and market yourself as an
expert. However, there is only so much you can write on a topic in
a time period. This is where content curation comes into play.
Besides writing, experts share articles and opinion of others in
their field. This can come in the form of a retweet on Twitter,
like on Facebook, +1 on Google plus and various other forms of
re-sharing. However, if you want to curate content from multiple
sources, an online newspaper comes in handy. This is where Paper.
li comes in.I use Paper.li to share content on sales, marketing and
technology. This is a great way for me to engage my followers with
the content and opinions of others in my field. People who are
included in mypapersfrequently retweet the paper and mention me on
Twitter.Paper .liis a great site to publish online newspapers on
your area of expertise. The site allows you to sign up using your
Twitter or Facebook account. Papers are generated from your
Facebook or Twitter feed. Setting up is easy. Once you go on the
site, you will be asked to login with Facebook or Twitter. When I
started, I decided to sign up with my Twitter account. Once I
granted Paper.li access to my Twitter account, I was prompted to
create my newspaper. You will need to create a title and subtitle
for the paper along with how often you want your paper published.
Paper. li provides publishers with three options: daily, morning,
evening and Weekly.Once you decide on the paper you want to create,
you have the options of choosing hashtags from Twitter, RSS feeds,
certain Twitter top accounts in the news, business, entertainment,
tech and science, sports and leisure categories. Once you create
your paper, you can schedule the time you want it to be published
to Twitter and Facebook.Another great feature of Paper. li is the
editors note. The editors note allows you to market your product
and services. This feature also lets you provide background about
yourself. I share both text and links to my various websites and
blogs.Another feature that I like is the Twitter feed under the
Editors note. This a great way for readers to follow and engage
with you on Twitter.You can also search for people and content on
the site. Readers who really like your paper can subscribe to your
paper by email as well. This is similar to blog subscriptions via
email.Paper.li also offers a premium service where you can publish
newsletters.I recommend that you give Paper.li a try. Its free!
