Pressroom Pro for Multi Channel Publishing from WordPress

London, April 15, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Anyone with a story to tell can create a website, write an article and join the marketplace of ideas. More and more publishers are delivering valuable content through magazines, blogs and ebooks. But in many ways, the deck is still stacked against them. Publishing to multiple platforms is complicated and expensive. Right now, only the most tech-savvy and deep-pocketed can realize the full value of their products.

Multichannel publishing is for everyone

Anyone with a story to tell can create a website, write an article and join the marketplace of ideas. More and more publishers are delivering valuable content through magazines, blogs and ebooks. But in many ways, the deck is still stacked against them. Publishing to multiple platforms is complicated and expensive. Right now, only the most tech-savvy and deep-pocketed can realize the full value of their products.

What is PressRoom

PressRoom is a WordPress plugin that frees publishers to focus on their content. It allows them to publish to iOS and the Web — all at the same time and from within a single WordPress site. That means small- and mid-size publishers can experiment with new business models, engage readers with diverse reading habits, and gain a better understanding of the audience, to meet them wherever they are. Readers benefit from a beautiful, uninterrupted reading experience.

Publishing an issue is as easy as choosing the content (articles, photo galleries, advertisements, etc.) and pressing send. An Editorial Project can feed unlimited iOS apps. You’ll be able to define your product as paid or free, set and manage your Apple Newsstand subscriptions and single issue sales. But maybe you want to further monetize your content by pulling together stories about climate change and publishing a special issue called Environment: Our Changing Climate. Easy. Just create a new Editorial Project. You can customize it to have a unique user experience or design.

You’re not restricted by any kind of content structure because PressRoom is flexible and highly customizable. You can also take advantage of the next-generation responsive web design tools like Tumult Hype, WebFlow, Macaw and Adobe Edge Reflow to create your art-dominated pages or advertising. Just create a mini-site and ZIP it to be published along with the article pages.
