Hey Everybody, we hope 2020 has been kind to you so far. But we won’t let it take lead.
ContentStudio brings a wave of all the cool features that you secretly wished for over Christmas.
Let me give you a sneak-peek before officially getting started.
As you all know the trends of Media and Marketing are changing every year. The newest hottest trend is the rise of Influencers who have taken over all the internet. They’re the celebrities of Social Media and have a fan following all around the world.
Now, what does ContentStudio bring in the plate for you regarding the influencers?
If I put it in simple words, it makes influencer collaboration and marketing hell easy for you. It finds a list of perfect influencers for your niche and finds out the estimated cost they’d require if you want a shout out from them.
And with other improvements and features introduced in ContentStudio, one major feature is Content Approval Workflow. What this lets you do is improve your relationship and coordination with your clients and teams.
But this, still, is not it. We have more for you!
So, without further ado, let’s get into it and see how can we improve our daily tasks using ContentStudio. ????
Discovery (Influencers)
Export into CSV for Twitter influencers section
Twitter is a perfect social media platform to connect with Influencers. Nowhere else do news travel as fast as they do on Twitter. Politicians, celebrities, and news anchors use this medium to quickly dissipate trending news.
If you can connect with these influencers, the chances of boosting your brand’s image skyrocket. ContentStudio presents you with an easy strategy to connect with twitter Influencers and increase the reach of your brand.
Go to ContentStudio and search your industry for Twitter Influencers. Export the returned list in the form of a CSV. Now you can tag all these influencers in your posts. This will not only increase the reach and engagement of your posts but if the content is good you might reshare from the influencers themselves.
This helps increase your brand’s visibility on Twitter.
Estimated Cost Per Post in Instagram Influencer section
Influencer outreach and marketing has really caught on and will be a great player in the 2020 digital marketing scene. ContentStudio helps you identify influencers in your industry and connect with them to promote your brand.
But the question is how to approach an influencer and how to benefit from their reach?
One thing you can do is ask them for a shoutout. They can put in a good word for your brand in their Instagram posts. This way to get access to millions of eyes just from one post.
The catch here is that Influencer almost always asks you to pay a fee. Here ContentStudio comes in to help you. In our Influencer section, you can see the estimated Cost Per Post for your desired Instagram Influencer.
This helps you get a rough idea about how much a shoutout will set you back in terms of money. You can also estimate which Influencer falls in your marketing budget so you can then connect with them. Or whether a person is asking you too much money for his services.
Discovery ( Content)
Discover Feeds
Contentstudio’s RSS feed reader feature is a comprehensive tool to search, follow, and monitor your favorite content sources online. It has a clean and elegant design to keep things as simple as possible.
In the main dashboard, you are able to see posts in reverse chronological order. The posts are shown as cover stories with a headline and image so you instantly get a gist of what the news or article is about.
The feeds are currently being crawled every 20 minutes but in the future, you will be to set custom time to check feeds update.
Cover stories show you the most trending posts from every topic for that very day. You then have the option to tag them accordingly. This would the most recent events, news, or updated in your topics of interest.
The thing that sets ContentStudio’s feed reader apart for any other RSS feed reader is its ability to curate the content from the feed and share it across social media channels.
Simply click the share button and the content will be shared with your target audience.
Of course, you get the standard option of starring or archiving a post and unlike any other tool, once you archive a post, it stays there, forever.
You can also add your favorite content to your Pocket account that is integrated with the ContnetStudio main app.
As a stamp of authenticity, each post is accompanied by the number of Twitter influencers that have shared this post. This way you know that the post is genuinely trending at the moment.
In the trending section, you get to see the content that is performing well at the moment. Again, you have the option to curate these posts and directly share them with your own audience across social media channels.
In the feeds section, you can create groups to which you can add the feeds. For example, you can create a group called Digital Marketing and add 15-20 feed URLs to it.
Your feed group also shows the number of feeds in a particular group. If you archive any of the articles in a group, the number associated with it will automatically decrease. When new articles come in, the number is increased.
Once inside a particular group, you can view the content in a list or grid view for easy access. You can then add further sources by clicking the Add Sources button.
Here the ContentStudio’s feed reader provides you with a list of curated topics that you can follow. It is much like your favorite topics are shown when you join a social media platform.
If you click on any of the curated topics, you are presented with a list of verified and trending RSS feeds that you can follow. So an RSS feed reader transforms into content discovery with a click of a button. This way all the trending RSS feeds in a particular topic are right at your fingertips.
