Novamag for freelancers

Why Novamag for freelancers?

People working alone have no time for layout software and no budget for developers. Novamag gives them a tool that turns texts and images into a professional digital magazine: a portfolio, a client magazine, or your own newsletter as an issue. Nova AI builds, the editor polishes. The result runs on your own domain, looks right on every device and travels by link.

Knowledge

Digital magazines for freelancers: what's behind it

The most important terms, figures and workflows, gathered on one page.

Why a digital magazine as a portfolio?

A PDF portfolio is heavy, static and awkward on a phone. A digital magazine shows work as pages with their own URL: texts readable, photos in galleries, films as video. Clients open a link, see the relevant piece and pass it on internally. Every page is findable in Google, and tracking shows whether anyone looked.

How do freelancers build a client magazine without a designer?

Nova AI reads the texts, the images and the brief and builds the issue in the client's colours and fonts. The editor is enough for order, image choice and headlines. That way writers, photographers and consultants deliver a finished client magazine, without layout software and without subcontractors.

What does Novamag cost for freelancers?

Starting is free and enough for a portfolio and first issues. Starter from 184 euros a month brings your own domain, tracking and more storage. Nova AI can be added and saves the time that would otherwise go into layout.

How does a freelancer reach new clients with the magazine?

Every page has a title, a description and a preview image for LinkedIn, Instagram and email. Specialist articles get found in Google and AI search and position you as an expert. A newsletter as an issue keeps existing contacts warm and stays online as an archive.

How professional does the result look?

Project styles keep fonts, colours and spacing consistent, and the issue runs on your own domain with SSL. Video, galleries and animation are one click away. From the outside, the result is no different from what large houses publish.

How much time does an issue take?

With Nova AI, 30 to 60 minutes for the draft, plus as much polish as you want. A new issue is duplicated from the previous one and keeps structure and styles. That leaves time for the actual work.
