Finding great social media content

How do you find great content to share on your social media calendar? 

With social media management, one of the most difficult tasks is to consistently find high-quality content to share to your audience every day. With Vista Social, this task is made easier with our smart publishing feature that allows users to automatically discover articles and schedule them in bulk.

How to find content and schedule as a single post

1. Go to Calendar > Publish > Find content

2. Type in a company, product, or keyword to find related articles and select Find content. Scroll through the list of results -- once you find an article that you want to schedule, click Send to Compose.

3. The composer window opens with the article title and link already added. Fill out all other optional information such as post label, publishing options (depending on the network), and time to post.
