Are There Free Platforms to Publish Magazines (.PDF)

Like we have YouTube for videos, Instagram/Facebook for photos.

Just curious if there are any platforms where you can upload .pdf and then view as a magazine (sort of what we do for catalogues).

I'm trying to find simple solution without having to create dedicated website. Also something better than just uploading on Google drive.

  • If you can build/design an entire magazine on a regular basis you can spend 15 minutes to build out a wordpress blog with a distribution platform. Zoho has a free product for email distribution, website, etc all in one (up to a certain limit).

    How will anyone find your magazine without a website to go to first?

      Any tips on how to do this on own server that fast? (ofcourse it needs to be secure access)

      • Not a clue. I try to avoid self-hosting because that means managing my own security ongoing. Easier to set and forget with a platform that installs any updates for me.

        • Agreed on the maintenance and other things for self hosting. Which platforms you've found affordable?

            @kaleidoscope: I just use Dreamhost, although I'm thinking about moving to Sitegrounds as I have a few sites at the moment so the cost becomes reasonable. I probably need to hand in my ozbargain membership because I've never really questioned it that much :P

    • Current target audience is just on social media i.e. Facebook group or Instagram.

    I have used issuu.com previously and it worked well.

    • Thanks. I'll check it out
