Using AI For Social Media Posts With Jasper: A Step-By-Step Guide

AI for Social Media - Jasper

As a content creator, I know how exhausting it can be to keep your social media accounts up to date. You need to come up with intriguing content to keep your followers engaged, and that typically means a lot of time and effort. But what if I told you that using AI for social media is the way to go and that Jasper could help? Jasper is an AI tool that automates your social media posting so that you can save time and focus on other things. In this blog post, I’ll walk you through a step-by-step process of using Jasper to create two weeks’ worth of social media posts for your business.

How We Create 2 Weeks Worth of Social Media using Jasper

Step 1: Choose Your Topic and Give the Prompt


The first step to using Jasper to create your social media series is to provide a detailed prompt. Be sure to include your Brand Voice so that the output generated sounds like you in your business. Provide a few keywords or background info related to the topic so that Jasper can better understand what you want from it.

Jasper can even enhance your prompt using the sparkle icon. For example, I gave the prompt, "Write a social media series of 10 posts about business coaching and the importance of aligning your values in life and business." I clicked the sparkle icon and Jasper enhanced my prompt to this:

Then you can review your outputs and make any revisions you'd like, or refine your prompt and try again.

Step 2: Generate Content


Jasper can help you create various types of content that keep your posts focused and engaging. These content categories could be quotes, brand awareness, product promotion, or behind the scenes. You can also customize them to match your brand and business.

We are typically creating posts around business coaching or mastermind offerings, a CEO retreat, as well as motivational quotes. So I might want to get Jasper to create 5 photo post captions for a retreat we're hosting. I would go to that photo post template and give Jasper the prompt.

Jasper would then come back with 5 photo post captions that I can use, all tailored for the retreat. For example, a caption might say “Ready to take your business to the next level? Our CEO retreat is here to help you do just that!” or “Take some time off and gain invaluable insights at our CEO retreat - join us now!”.

Generate content with Jasper

If I want to feature a particular quote for our social media, I can go into Jasper's chat funtion and simply type, Write a social media caption for the quote, "Balance is not better time management, but better boundary management. Balance means making choices and enjoying those choices." Then Jasper will generate the outputs.

From there, I can select the captions I want to use or revise and edit until I'm satisfied. If your brand voice is configured in your Jasper settings, it's likely the generated captions will be on brand.

Step 3: Create Your Graphics - Canva


You're probably familiar with Canva and its simplicity in creating custom graphics. If not, you should check it out. We use Canva to create the images we want to accompany posts with the captions generated from Jasper. Once your graphic is finished, save it as a .jpg or .png file on your computer and upload it when you're ready to schedule your posts.
