ISSUU (www.issuu.com) is a cool little place where print magazines are turned into a ‘page-flip’ Flash tool. The format is exactly as the print piece you upload and the impact is pretty cool. You can also share the file with others over email, send it to your blog, embed it into your social networking site or web site.

Simply create your document in InDesign, Quark, Word, or whatever you use, save as a PDF and upload it. They have statistics, sharing, that goofy ‘friend’ thing (everyone has those… I just don’t get it), and other ways to get your publication in front of people.

Information for today’s photographer. From novice to pro, LE Magazine has it all.

I think this will be a great way for photographers and designers and others to create a different kind of marketing tool. One that is more editorial than a ‘promotional’ piece. Groups of artists get together, choose a theme, do the work as a magazine format and distribute it electronically through email and social networking and online promotion. All for nearly free. Here is a magazine I have embedded.

There are other players in this field. I am currently using ISSUU, but will try these out soon.

ZMags (www.zmags.com/us) has a more corporate feel to their site, but the app looks similar. They offer tracking as well.

E-Book Creator (www.ebookcreator.net)has been around for quite awhile. They offer a publishing solution that is desktop based. Featuring several levels of security, E-book Creator is one that I also use. It is great for making deliverable or distributable ebooks.

Finding ways to get your work out there has never been easier. Check into these solutions for showing your work.
