Step 4: Preview and Set Binding Options
All text should be within the unshaded safe zone, and images you want to extend to the edge of the page should fill the bleed area (shaded blue). Binding options will vary based on the size and length of your PDF. At this point, you can finish and buy copies in print, or continue to set your selling options for the MagCloud storefront.
Step 5: Set Your Distribution Options
Add a description, tags and a category to help people find your publication. Add a markup beyond the print cost to earn money for every copy purchased, and choose to offer a digital version of your publication for free or for a price.
Step 6: Publish and Promote
Your publication can be Unlisted and visible only to you and those you send a guest pass to, or it can be Listed and publicly visible on the MagCloud site. If your publication is public, promote it after publishing via social media channels, email, or with badges for your blog or website.
