On Scoop.it, you have the opportunity to create your own online magazine in an easy and attractive way, as well as to share this magazine across all social media to ensure that you’re being heard everywhere.

Whether or not you have a small target demographic or many different ones, Scoop.it works for you to be heard in your area of expertise, better reach your audience according to their interests thanks to relevant content, and feed an exceptionally branded, SEO-friendly online magazine and generate qualified leads back to your website.

With these ideas, you can learn how to harness the power of Scoop.it for your brand!

1. Be the publisher of your brand’s very own online magazine

Scoop.it does lots of work behind the scenes to provide you with quality content as well as all of the tools to present your very own online magazine in the best possible way. As a publisher, you have the opportunity to MAKE IT YOURS.

If you’re looking for a way to make your pages more SEO friendly, host your topic on your own domain name or sub domain name to bypass the platform. In doing so, you are also helping your customers recognize your brand.  You can even integrate your whole magazine with your website with your own look & feel while retaining the complete Scoop.it experience such as boutiika does it.

2. Easily maintain your online presence

Being on Scoop.it is not just appearing on another website. Here, you have a place to share interactive content with an ever-increasing audience.

Of course, what would be the point of curating such an amazing magazine if you don’t let the world take advantage of it?
