[00:05] teaching you how to come up with 200 social media posts in 10 minutes using social media posts in 10 minutes using chat and Canva. But AI has advanced a lot since then. So, I wanted to create an updated version. In this video, we're
[00:17] going to set up Claude and Canva so that anytime you come up with a post idea, you can create it right away with one single prompt. Then I'll show you how to batch create as many pieces of content as you want in one sitting from
[00:31] carousels, reals, and single image posts. As always, timestamps are below. Use them if you need them. Let's jump in. This is our coffee for today. [snorts] Would you believe I'm going hot? I usually am an iced latte gal, but
[00:45] we're going hot with stevia cuz believe it or not, I actually like stevia. Step one is pretty simple. We want to first connect Claude and Canva. The reason I love this combination is because Claude is your like strategic thinker and I
[00:58] feel like Claude is a little bit more advanced than chatbt and then Canva is like your creative design. What we're going to do is come down to our account, going to do is come down to our account, go to settings, and under customize
[01:11] you'll have connectors. This is where if you don't have any connectors already set up, you'll want to add browse connectors and make sure you search for Canva. Before you do this, you obviously want to make sure you have a Claude
[01:24] account already set up and a Canva account already set up. Once you add Canva, you'll be prompted by Claude to give Claude permission to fully connect give Claude full permissions to integrate. Once those are connected,
[01:38] you're going to now create a new project. So, we're not really going to to go over here to projects. Projects are folders of multiple chats. That way
[01:50] you can stay organized and focus on the specific things that you're working on. This is such a gamecher is because with Claude, you can set and write Claude, you can set and write instructions for Claude to follow per
[02:02] everything that it needs to know about your personal brand before you even Things like your target audience, your brand voice, content pillars, your
[02:14] personal goals, and the type of content you want to create. So, it might take you a minute to set this up with all of the right info, but once it is set up, Claude is going to work so much more efficient and in line with you and your
[02:27] personal brand. So, here we're going to start a new project. And to name our project, I'm going to do my brand name and the platform that I want to be focusing on or creating content for. So, in this case, let's just say Instagram.
[02:43] And then for the description or what you're trying to achieve, this is kind of the template that you're going to fill out. You're going to say, "I'm a creator or fitness fashion, I'm going to
[02:58] say I'm a content creator coach trying to grow to 500,000 followers on to grow to 500,000 followers on Instagram in 6 months with reals and
[03:10] carousels. create project. So now our project is here with your project set up. Now you want to upload logic for Claude to follow anytime you ask it or So this is where you upload basically all the logic about you and your
[03:26] personal brand. We're going to go to instructions and you're going to paste a prompt that I've already created. For a lot of the prompts that I talk about in lot of the prompts that I talk about in my videos, I have a free AI prompt
[03:39] guide. It's any sort of AI prompt content creators would need to grow and chatbt prompts and there's a whole section about Claude prompts. This prompt is specifically the social media strategist prompt where you set Claude
[03:55] to act as your social media strategist. So this is the exact prompt that you're going to copy and paste and you're just going to fill everything in as much yes, it might take a little bit of time, but once you fill it in once, you never
[04:10] have to tell Claude who you are, who your target audience is ever again. Once those instructions are set, you can create multiple projects for multiple different platforms. If you're posting to multiple platforms, ideally if you
[04:22] are just starting out as a content creator and you haven't seen like a snowball of growth on one platform yet, then I always recommend just start with one platform and then you could branch out after the ball is rolling somewhere.
[04:34] So, we're just going to focus on Instagram for today. I know we kind of talked more about setting up projects and using Claude as your social media strategist before. So, if you want to learn more about that side of content
[04:47] Claude video that I have here on my channel. If you're anything like me, learning new ways to use Claude literally just like brings me life. The video that I have here on my channel talks about seven different Claude hacks
[05:02] that I've been using to automate my work as a content creator. But if you are like you're just like, "Seven is not enough. I need more that I could use right away." I do have a free gift for you. So, our friends over at HubSpot put
[05:17] together a free guide for anyone watching this video called 60 Claude Marketing Hacks for Marketers. Each prompt is meant to help you do this better than people who don't have it. Everything from AI first content
[05:32] creation to interactive dashboards that reveal market opportunities. Think of it as having a professional marketing sidekick like right at your fingertips. So, my favorite part about this free guide is not only are they sharing 60
[05:48] guide is not only are they sharing 60 hacks, but they also included 10 new Claude skill prompts. So, these prompts are basically projects that you can set and continue to reuse without needing to reprompt Claude over and over. There's
[06:03] one that I particularly like called the hook creator skill that you could use to generate scroll stopping hooks for ads, emails, or even short form content using
[06:15] proven copywriting frameworks. So whether you're drafting emails or planning campaigns, you can copy the prompts straight into Claude and watch the work practically do itself. Again, this is completely free. All you have to
[06:30] do is click the link in the description to get access. And of course, a huge thank you to HubSpot for sponsoring this video and continuing to provide free resources for anyone who's looking to grow their marketing skills. Now, let's
[06:44] jump into step three, and that's actually setting up your Canva. This step is the step that most people skip. Now, I've seen a lot of people that make
[06:56] videos about how to use Claude and Canva to create hundreds of posts. And I mean, like I had my video that I made two years ago, but here's the thing. Most of the time, the thing that I notice is that the posts that are being created
[07:09] are not really anything that I think my audience or any audience would like because they feel so generic. They feel so Pinterest 2015. The goal is not to
[07:21] create content just for the sake of creating more content and batch creating a hundred videos in five seconds. We want to create content that your audience would actually want to engage with that feels on brand for you. So
[07:36] that's why you don't want to skip this step. What we're going to do is we're going to jump into Canva and we're actually going to set up our brand kit. actually going to set up our brand kit. Now, I will say the brand kit is a pro
[07:49] feature where you do have to pay for it, but Canva is just like it's been my go-to. I've been using Canva Pro for years. I love it. I think it's absolutely worth it. And what you're going to do is within your brand kit,
[08:03] let's go to my BSP model brand kit. You just want to set up all the basics of just want to set up all the basics of your personal brand. You want to choose your brand colors of what you want like your graphics. If you're creating
[08:15] carousel posts or graphics, what do you want those colors to look like? If you have specific fonts and font layering that you use, what are the fonts that you like? You could even talk a little bit about what your brand voice sounds
[08:29] bit about what your brand voice sounds like, pre-upload photos, and so much more. This is the brand kit that Claude is going to pull from when creating our social media posts. So now that we have our brand kit done, next step we are
[08:43] going to actually create some branded templates. This is how you create AI content that is like aesthetic. That's you. You take the time to like set the
[08:55] foundations of what a unique to you post looks like. And once you have that one template set up that you love, then Claude can take that template and apply it to any and every piece of content that you want to create after. So it
[09:10] does take a little bit extra time and effort, but it is so worth it. So what we're going to do is under home, we're going to go to social media and you're going to choose Instagram post 4x5. We're going to do this for let's say
[09:22] like a carousel post or if you just want to do like one image with like a motivational text or something. We're going to go here. It's going to already have the dimensions and start a project for you in the proper dimensions. And
[09:34] then you're going to scroll through the templates and find one that you feel you could use on repeat that feels true to you and true to your personal brand. The ones with the crown is the pro feature. The ones without are free. Now, I
[09:49] The ones without are free. Now, I suggest making different types of brand templates. So, you're going to do one brand template that's a carousel, one brand template that's just like one quote, another brand template that's
[10:03] maybe like for a real, and then that way you have three different templates that Claude can pull from when it's ready. We're going to click this, apply all four pages. And this is where you're going to customize and make it your own.
[10:17] You're going to make sure the font is your font. Once you have your font, be your font. Once you have your font, be sure to apply to all effects. This highlight color is not really on brand for me. So, we're going
[10:31] really on brand for me. So, we're going to do we'll do that. And then you get to customizing. Let me show you one of my templates that I have. So, let's go to my branded templates. This is the carousel template. Let's open it up.
[10:47] Okay. So, this is my carousel template. As you create your carousel template, this is what you're going to do. You're going to label what Claude needs to put everywhere. So, this is like my main heading. And so, I'm telling Claude,
[11:02] "Hey, this is the main heading." And the hook text of the carousel will go here. Same thing, I just say subheading of the carousel. Swipe right for more. Anything that you don't really want to change or you want Claude to change, you're just
[11:16] going to select it and make sure it's locked here. We're going to lock. And now we're this one piece of font like canvas. Now this font or this text Claude's never going to touch it. So like all of these here, I can make sure
[11:32] it's locked. This I can make sure it's locked. And then for the other pieces, this one is heading text. This is like a short paragraph. For the rest, we have like step or number. So, this is usually like five steps or whatever steps
[11:45] like five steps or whatever steps creators need to d and Claude will just fill in the rest. And then I have my CTA at the very end. When you're done, you'll want to be intentional with what you're saving the template as or the
[12:00] project name. So, this is Imm Instagram carousel template number one. I'm going to press share. And you could save it as a brand template. That way it gets added directly to your brand kit. So if I go here to my brand kit, boop, and I have
[12:15] my brand templates, these are the templates that Claude will be using and making copies of when creating content for me. Like I said, I have one for like a swipe carousel. There's also one that
[12:28] a swipe carousel. There's also one that is just a like motivational text one is just a like motivational text one slide like a one post a one picture a what am I trying to say it's just one
[12:40] like a motivational quote right and then also um reals I have like a reals video reels because they're not quite there and claude are not quite there when it comes to like video reels but we'll talk about that in a bit so you're
[12:55] creating your brand templates. You have a carousel one with the proper labels, right? On brand for you, and then you have like a motivational quote that's your branding, in your fonts. Everything's ready there. If you've
[13:08] give this video a thumbs up. And if you learned two new things by the end of this video, consider subscribing since it's a free way to support me and my channel and allows me to continue to create free content like this for you
[13:20] every single week. Now, let's move on to our next step because this is where things get kind of crazy. We're going to actually start creating content. And when you prompt Claude, there's a bajillion ways you could do this. So, I
[13:32] think we'll just take it like one thing at a time. Let's say you want to batch create a bunch of these like motivational single image posts. Let's say you want to batch create those. You want to do 20. You want to do 25. You
[13:47] want to do 100. Doesn't matter. You want to batch create some. What you're going to do is we're going to ask Claude to help us come up with these motivational quotes. So, first we're going to say, "Give me a list of 20 motivational
[14:02] "Give me a list of 20 motivational quotes for aspiring content creators and entrepreneurs." Boom. Now, if we're asking for a list of 20 motivational quotes in our brand template, I'm going to edit my template
[14:17] and I'm going to make sure I have 20 standalone images. So, if I just have one template here, there's just one. I'm going to do this view. We're going to add 20 pages. We're just going to duplicate this 20 times or keyboard
[14:30] shortcut is window D or command D. We're going to make 20 blank pages for Claude. Perfect. And now we're just going to update these changes. Should be good to
[14:42] go. Your job is to go through all 20 of these quotes and make sure they sound like you. Make sure it's something you would say. Make sure it's you. It's your brand voice. And when you have 20 that you like, you're going to say, "Could
[14:55] you like, you're going to say, "Could you use my insert brand kit in Canva and create a design for each of these quotes using the insert the name of the template, motivational quote sample template in my brand templates folder.
[15:10] There are 20 slides in that template, so should be enough for all of the quotes. So, I'm just pretending all of these are perfect right now. If I had gone through and customized it, I would list out all updated 20 quotes here. But for sake of
[15:25] time, we're just going to say these are perfect. I'm going to send this off to perfect. I'm going to send this off to Claude and take a sip of coffee. Because this template is in the brand's template folder, Claude will not be
[15:39] actually editing our template. So, we could continue to reuse this. Claude created a copy. So when Claude is done, literally all of our stuff will be linked here. So we just press open link and boom, shakalaka. We have all 20
[15:55] motivational quotes already created by Claude. Okay. Now, what about what about carousels? Let's do carousels. So I with my carousel, it is I believe five tips.
[16:08] It's one two three four five call to action. So, I'm going to ask Claude, action. So, I'm going to ask Claude, "Can you create 30 educational carousel
[16:20] "Can you create 30 educational carousel ideas for me?" Each idea needs to be in ideas for me?" Each idea needs to be in a fivestep or five tips or five tools
[16:34] format cuz that's what my template is in. Now, again, there's a million You could take one idea at a time and create one carousel at a time. Or if you're feeling real crazy and you want to outline 20 different carousel posts
[16:50] in one sitting, you could and then have Claude create 20 carousel posts in one sitting. But Claude would just need all the information for you. Remember, we're not trying to have AI be our brains, right? I want to still be its modern
[17:05] millie. If I say, "Okay, here is five tips to grow your first 1,000 followers." I want those tips to come from me. So, we're going to follow like a prompt like this. So, let's say you do need help coming up with your five tips.
[17:18] you say, "Let's start working on number 13. Help me turn this idea into a rough carousel." And then you're going to give Claude the outline of your carousel template. So, you're going to say, "Slide one, bold hook with a subheading.
[17:33] Slide two, introduce the painoint or interesting statistic. Keep it short. Slide three through seven, those are the tips. And then final slide is the call tips. And then final slide is the call to action. So let's do this one. When
[17:48] to action. So let's do this one. When you're happy, you can say, "Can you you're happy, you can say, "Can you reference my BSP model reference my BSP model brand kit and use the IMM Instagram?"
[18:10] Claude's going to get going. Now, like I said, you could do this, and you could said, you could do this, and you could batch create like 20 or 30 carousels at once. I think the easiest way to do that is in Google Docs. So, here, let's just
[18:26] create a Google Doc. We're going to take all of these
[18:38] one. Using the headings, we're going to separate out each of the ideas. carousel or have Claude help you outline each and every carousel. When you're done, you're going to press file and download. Then you'll upload the doc
[18:53] directly to Claude and say, "Use my brand kit." and turn all of these carousel posts into carousel posts in Canva. It's going to take a lot longer. do that, but it's possible. And that's how you could just batch create a bunch
[19:07] of carousels in one sitting. So, let's go back to our carousel and see what Claude has done for us. You don't need 100 followers to land brand deals. Here are the five steps that actually work. I love that. Oh my gosh, so good. And then
[19:22] you could go in and customize. Now, I did say I would touch on reels or short form video. And right now, even if you set up a reel as a brand template, for example, I have this reel and it's set up properly, right? Heading and hook
[19:38] text, catchy subheading, it's set up the right way that we would do for carousels. Claude currently doesn't have the logic to plug in text and edit the video. I think that's coming. It doesn't have it right now, but one thing that
[19:55] you could do, and it's the similar tip to what I did in my other video, and this only works right now if you're just putting like one line on your reel, like one thing. You know, the videos where it's like B-roll with like a 7-second
[20:10] video, B-roll, text, and trendy music. This could work for batch creating a bunch of those. So, let's go to social media. Let's create Tik Tok video. We're going to use this template because it's like exactly what we're looking for. I'm
[20:25] not going to worry about the video in the background yet because I think I'll change the video per piece of content. But I mean, you could change the font, whatever. Same thing. Update as you need. What we're going to do to create a
[20:39] bunch of reals, let's go back to those motivational quotes. Let's use these motivational quotes. Now, we're going to go to apps and we're going to bulk create. We're going to enter data manually. Let's clear the
[20:53] table off and let's just paste all of our quotes. This is going to be like each of our videos. So, we have all of our videos or each quote per video. We're going to press done. Then, we're going to connect the data. So, we want
[21:07] to connect our quote with where the quote should go in Canva. So, I'm going to go more, press connect data, and now we'll continue. So, we're going to apply separate designs to make 20 different reels. View design. So, now we have 20
[21:23] different videos. What I would do is go in and like customize, add B-roll specifically for that quote. And what you could do like before you make a done this on the last step, but I would get rid of the audio and I would make
[21:37] sure the video length is 7 seconds. So that way before you bulk create, you that were bulk created at once. So technically, if you follow all these steps, you can create unlimited pieces of content because you could batch
[21:52] create like 20 motivational quotes or even a 100 motivational quotes in one sitting. You could batch create 50 carousels in one sitting. You could even batch create simple reals in one sitting. Now, let me just say just
[22:07] because you could batch create a bunch of content in one sitting, that doesn't mean that content is going to perform well. I feel like this strategy is not to be used with the expectation that you will see growth from it. I would only
[22:20] will see growth from it. I would only use this if I needed to just put things up or like fill in space. So, for example, when I took my maternity leave and I was not creating for 3 months, this is the type of like filler content
[22:35] this is the type of like filler content that I would post just to post just to tell the algorithm I'm being consistent without expectations of it performing like Monday is the motivational quote, Wednesday is the real and then Friday is
[22:49] the carousel, right? And then if I did that for 3 months, that's 12 to 15 weeks of content. three posts per week. That's anywhere between 36 and I don't know, math. [laughter] That's more than 36 posts. That is the
[23:03] type of situation that I would use this for. I wouldn't use this as like a way to try to shortcut your way to fast growth because this isn't a growth strategy. This is simply a strategy that you can use to maintain your presence on
[23:16] social media. So, just want to properly set those expectations there. If you or if you have any follow-up questions about this process, just let me know much for watching and I'll see you in the next one. Follow your joy. Bye.
