Need an easy way to keep your social posts fresh and on-brand? Ideas can help you create a content library of ready-to-use social media templates for your team. 💡
Keep it fresh by updating the Ideas dashboard weekly or monthly with new content!
How to create Ideas
-
Head to Create → Ideas
-
Type your idea into the box at the top of the page, or click Full editor for more room.
-
Add text, images or videos, whatever fuels your creative spark!
- You may also use the help of AI to craft your posts.
-
Add tags like “Promo” or “Event Posts” with Tag, then click Save idea.
Your content is now ready to be shared and turned into posts by your team.
Best practices for using "Ideas" as a Content Library
1. Consistent updates
Ensure that fresh content is regularly uploaded to the Ideas dashboard so your team has access to new and engaging content every week or month!
2. Use clear tags
Categorize your ideas effectively with clear and consistent tagging, making it easier for teams to locate the right templates.
3. Organize with collections.
Create a structure by separating your content library's ideas into relevant collections. Switch to List view when you need to scan the whole library, tag several ideas at once or export them.
4. Set permissions wisely
Determine who needs to have full access to create and edit your content library. Are there team members who should just be able to view the ideas and create social posts from them? You can specify their permissions when inviting them (or edit their permission later).
5. Collaborate regularly
Engage with your team to refine and improve content before it goes live by using internal comments.
How to turn Ideas into social posts
1. Collaborate & comment
Your team can review, comment, and tweak the idea. It’s all about collaboration!
2. Turn Ideas into posts
Ready to post? Just click Create a post. Select your networks, adjust if needed, and hit Schedule. Done!
And there you have it! Ideas is the perfect tool for building a content library where your organization can store, share, and organize social media templates. It's like having a digital shelf of ready-to-use post ideas that your team can access anytime.
