Your First Content Piece in Five Minutes

From blank screen to scheduled post — the loop that becomes muscle memory after a week.

This is the loop. You'll do it hundreds of times. The first time takes ten minutes. By the tenth, it takes two.

Open the dashboard. Click New content in the top right.

Step 1: Topic and persona

You'll see two fields and a few drop-downs. Don't get distracted by the drop-downs. Fill in two things:

Topic. A sentence describing what this piece is about. "Three things I learned launching a SaaS in twelve months" is a good topic. "Marketing" is a bad topic. Specificity unlocks specificity.

Persona. Pick the persona this piece publishes as. If you only have one persona, this is auto-selected.

That's it. Click Generate.

Step 2: Format selection

Vyrable will offer formats based on your topic. Common ones:

- Post — short, social-native, hooks-and-CTA structure

- Article — long-form, 800-1500 words, headings and structure

- Carousel — multi-slide visual deck

- Thread — sequenced posts (X-style)

- Video script — for short-form video content

Pick the one that matches where you want to publish. If you're not sure, pick Post — it's the most universally useful and converts cleanly to other formats later.
