Connecting your developer account
Now let’s dive right into the video tutorials that will guide you in publishing your magazine!
STEP 1 – BASIC MAGAZINE INFORMATION
There are a few sections you need to fill out in this first step and we will cover each in detail. MagLoft needs this information in order to create, setup and publish your magazine to the App Stores. It’s important you fill out this information and keep it updated. This way you will be able to publish new versions of your magazine in the future without hassle.
The first sentence of your description should be your “one liner” that describes all the benefits of your magazine. Keep your description easy to read. It’s fine to have a long description if you break it up into sections using headers. You need to make your description compelling and interesting, as this is the second thing readers will see when evaluating to install your app (the first one being the icon).
Make sure you use as many of the 100 characters as possible. Keep your keywords short and don’t use phrases. You should ideally have a main keyword in the title of your magazine, which you don’t need to add again in the keyword section. Remember to add your magazine name/title as the first keyword so people will find it if they search for it.
This will be displayed when readers click the info button inside your magazine app. You should include information that is relevant to people that have already installed and opened your magazine like contact information and how the app/subscriptions work.
Link to your own support/contact URL. You can use MagLoft’s support desk by default (https://magloft.zendesk.com)
Optional link to any marketing related page you have for your magazine.
Link to your own privacy policy page. MagLoft provides a standard privacy policy page for your magazine which you can use.
Select the categories that best fit your magazines content. It can sometimes be hard to chose the perfect categories so just chose the closest that match.
Apple requires that you rate your content and will score it based on your rating. Offensive ratings won’t be accepted by Apple.
