Publishers, here is another nifty feature for you to promote your Paper.lis: email invites!

Simply upload your email addresses via your Google or Yahoo accounts or your csv-files and invite your friends to subscribe to your paper. When they accept, we'll send them a daily digest highlighting your headline and featured articles for the day. Here's how easy it is!

  • Go to the PROMOTE Tab under your paper settings
  • Click IMPORT
  • Select Yahoo or Google account or the csv-files. You will be either logged in to the service of Google or Yahoo and your contacts will appear, or a new window will open where you can select the csv-files on your computer (includes comma-separated-value (.csv.) files). Please note: You can upload up to 10,000 contacts!
  • Select your contacts ( Note you will see an example of what your invite will look like to the left. The text field can be modified after you import your contact) 
  • Modify your text and click SEND and we'll send out the invitations for you.

When your contact receives the invitation, they can view your paper and subscribe to it by clicking YES on the blue pop up bar at the top of the page.

And if they don't want to receive any additional email invites from Paper.li publishers, we've put in a simple opt out at the bottom of the email. 

We think this is a great feature to help promote your publishing efforts. Let us know what you think and how it is working for you.
