Why should you use content creation automation?

Content creation automation is the ultimate hack for businesses to drive traffic, manage marketing pivots, stay relevant and consistent, and keep up with the latest trends.

HubSpot’s 2023 Marketing Industry Trends Report uncovered that:

• 19% of survey respondents said generating leads and traffic will be their biggest hurdle in 2023.
• 17% of marketers say that marketing strategy pivots will be the biggest challenge they face in the new year. 
• 16% of marketers said that their biggest challenge of 2023 will involve keeping up with the latest social media platforms, as well as their growing lists of new features. 

And with decreasing attention spans and increased content consumption comes a ton of other stresses for marketers:

• Creating engaging content (which 22% of social media marketers cited)
• Gaining and keeping followers (22%)
• Reaching your target audiences (21%)
• Finding ideas for content (21%)
• Creating content that generates leads (20%)

All right, you can let out a big sigh of relief because Vista Social has your back. 💙

Ok, now that we’re all zen’d out, let’s continue.

I know you are well aware of the current state of marketing—you live it every day! But, as social media rapidly evolves, so do your workflows and processes.

The problem is that since social media technology is such a fast-moving target, not many SMM tools can keep up with evolving needs! 

Our Idea: Build out dozens of modern features that are relevant to the social media management needs of this decade. Instead of spending hours in our heads coming up with new ideas, we just got to work or, better yet, built out a product that does!

Create and publish content faster with Smart Publishing

Everything you can do with Smart Publishing in Vista Social:

• Create your smart publishing type: This could be trending news or a specific website’s blog.
  • Trending News: Let Vista Social find trending and relevant articles based on topics your audience wants to read.

How to find content in Vista Social?

1. Find the latest news

Find trending and relevant articles based on topics your audience wants to read.

Long gone are the days of marketers telling consumers what their needs and wants are. Today’s consumers are savvy shoppers and know exactly what they want!

Soo…

Here’s how to create and publish the latest news:

1. Click Publish on your dashboard and select Find content from the drop-down.
2. Enter a keyword that you want content from in the provided field.
3. Select the post that you want to schedule and click Create a post.
4. The composer window will open with the selected content, which you can edit.
5. Once you are happy with it, go to Next and click Schedule.

2. Find content by hashtag or user

Giveaways have become a major part of any Instagram marketing strategy! They’re a great way to boost followers, engagement, and reach in a short period of time.

Often, they require people to enter in by submitting a photo with a product and using a hashtag. This provides tons of user-generated content for businesses to reshare on their Feed.

A study found that nearly 80% of people said that UGC highly impacts their decision on whether or not to buy.

Once you’ve found the content you like, you can:

• Add it to your media library
• Create a post that can be scheduled for a later date or automatically be published

This tool allows you to view all of your UGC content in one place so that it can be easily found and organized.

3. Find stock-free images, videos, and gifs

Small businesses, startups, and agencies don’t have the budget or resources to book models, photographers, and locations to produce original photos and videos.

And let’s get real, high-quality produced content is a thing of the past on social media.

People want authenticity now from people that look like them! This means inclusive content for all ages, sizes, skin colors, and backgrounds.

Royalty-free images and videos allow businesses to quickly find inclusive content for their social media profiles.

Wasting time is out; saving time is in!

Nobody can predict the future; hello, 2020, we’re talking to you.

If you told 2019 me that in 2020 there would be a worldwide locked, murder hornets, and UFOs being confirmed by the pentagon—I would think you were nuts.

But, if that year taught us anything, it’s to live in the moment. How weird would it be to predict the conversation word-for-word that you’re going to have with a friend 3 months from now? So, why do we do that with our marketing?
