Calaméo Magazine #6: The Work issue

Ever since we joined the social media universe back in 2008, we’ve loved seeing all of the publications our users have shared. You’ve tweeted us @calameo, chatted with us on Facebook, showed us your best on Instagram and curated with us on Pinterest.

Today we are announcing a whole new way for our users to share their publications with us—and with the millions of readers who visit our platform.

That’s right, from now on every publisher on Calaméo can nominate his or her publication to be featured on our homepage!

It’s easy to let us know you’d like your publication to be considered. Just use the hashtag #CalameoCoversClub when you share your publication on Twitter or Instagram!

Our Content Management Team reviews all of the publications posted with the #CalameoCoversClub hashtag and chooses their favorites to appear on the Calaméo homepage. While all selections are up to the Content Management Team, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

• Belonging to the #CalameoCoversClub means having a striking cover! Beautiful photography, bold colors and eye-catching graphics on the cover can help your publication stand out.
• We love seeing our users’ creativity with digital publishing. If your publication makes great use of Calaméo’s features, it may be a good candidate for the #CalameoCoversClub.
• Readers from all over the world visit Calaméo and our platform is available in seven languages. Try using the #CalameoCoversClub hashtag with your publications that would benefit from the widest possible audience!
• Private publications are not eligible for consideration.

We can’t wait to see which of your publications will be part of the #CalameoCoversClub this year!

Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter and Instagram so you can keep up with all of the #CalameoCoversClub entries and see which publications are chosen for the homepage!

Adding interactive links to a digital publication can quickly become a long and repetitive task. Identifying each URL, creating the interaction, making sure no link has been forgotten… when pages start to add up, the time spent increases quickly.

To simplify your workflow, a new feature is now available in the Calaméo Editor: automatic link detection, available for all PLATINUM users.

The goal is simple: turn your URLs into clickable links with minimal effort and in just a few clicks.

Simplified link management

In the Calaméo Editor, a single button allows you to launch automatic detection of the links present in your text.

Simply:

• Click the button
• The Editor identifies all URLs in your publication’s text
• Turn them into interactive links in just one click

No more adding each link manually.
No more double-checking to make sure nothing was missed.

Our tool takes care of it for you.

Add links with the custom mapping feature

To save even more time, you can also upload a table with your link information. The table must include:

• Match: the exact text the Editor should detect in your publication
• URL: the link that will be applied to each detected match
• Label (optional): the tooltip displayed when hovering over the link

Once the table is imported, our tool scans your document and automatically applies links to the corresponding words.

This method is ideal if you need to insert a large number of specific links or if you are working on publications that contain many references.

A real time saver for your teams

Whether you are responsible for a:

• product catalog
• digital magazine
• white paper
• annual report
• brochure or guide

Links play a key role in the performance of your content. They allow you to:

• Redirect readers to your website
• Highlight products or services
• Share additional resources
• Generate traffic and conversions

However, the richer your publications are, the more links you need to manage — and the more time-consuming the process becomes.

Thanks to automatic detection, you can avoid missed links, reduce repetitive actions, and speed up your workflow. The time you save can then be spent on what really matters: your strategy, your content, and your performance.

A feature designed for efficiency

Easy to use and fully integrated into the Editor, this new feature reflects our commitment to providing PLATINUM users with ever more powerful and seamless tools.

Available now for all PLATINUM accounts in the Calaméo Editor.
