00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:34.410
I'm gonna walk you through step by step how you can make over 100 posts using Claude and Canva. This is the ultimate content creation hack if you're trying to create a ton of posts in just a short amount of time. You can do this all on the free version of Claude. Alright. The very first thing we wanna do is connect our Claude account to Canva. We're just gonna use the web version today. So go ahead and open up your browser. Go ahead and open up a new tab, and we're gonna go to Canva. Now, if you don't already have a Canva account, go ahead and create a free account real quick. And then, we are gonna go back to Claude. The bottom left where your name is, you're gonna click on that, and you're gonna click on settings.

00:00:34.410 --> 00:00:40.090
Then we're gonna go over to connectors right here. Yours should be empty, and you're gonna go ahead and click on customize.

00:00:40.090 --> 00:00:47.825
Alright. So these are the ones not connected, but these are the ones that show up as default. Go ahead and click this plus icon to add a connector right here, and browse connectors.

00:00:47.905 --> 00:01:05.730
You can either type in Canva or on mine, it's right here. But otherwise, you type in Canva, it should pop up. Go ahead and click the plus icon right there. It is gonna do a quick prompt. Go ahead and click allow. And over here, you can see that Canva is now live and connected. And you can change the configuration on the right here. If you wanna change the designs,

00:01:05.890 --> 00:02:08.450
the way it does design with AI, the way it structures design, exporting design, like any of these features, you can change either enable or disable them. So you can configure any connector that you set up with your cloud account. But we're gonna go back to the chat. So over here at the top left here, click on back. And that leads us to step two, which is start a new chat. So go ahead and copy and paste this prompt in. List every Canva connector feature available in this chat using only the current exposed tool list as a source of truth. Create an output bullet point list with a sample prompt for each feature and which Canva plan is required. Todd is then gonna read everything about this Canva connector and make a small table of all the features and sample prompts that we can use and tell us which Canva plan is required. Keep in mind, you can use this prompt for any new AI tool or connector that you want to explore. This way, you can get a really simple list of all the things that you can do with that connector. Let's see what it gave me so far. The design and the discovery, be able to search designs and get designs, request outline review, page structure management, asset media management, export folder and organizations,

00:02:08.925 --> 00:02:18.925
list brand kits. I'm gonna go with this sample right here. Create an Instagram post about how smart companies are leveraging AI. If you wanted to, you could plug in your website.

00:02:19.005 --> 00:02:50.985
But for this use case, I'm gonna pretend like I don't have one, so I'm not even gonna use my website for reference. But if you have one or a social media account with strong branding, definitely plug it in. He gave me a recommendation, and I'm gonna ask if it can create four versions of that style. And you can see it's using Canva to do the design work. So it's searching Canva for templates and generating designs. That way we can tell which Canva one we liked and make a final draft out of our design through Canva, or have Claude completely edited out. I wasn't static with this round, so I'm gonna say make me four more versions. Feel free to give back any feedback that you want. If you wanna make micro changes,

00:02:51.540 --> 00:02:58.260
don't hesitate. But if you don't like any of the options that I gave you, just start a whole new generation and start from scratch. I choose option two.

00:02:58.420 --> 00:03:18.075
Always enter. You can always go back to Claude to change the design, but the flexibility and speed and quality is what we are after. Would I try to add more and more details inside of your prompts when you generate more. This will give you better output and more context is gonna give you better results. Let's try another one. I'm gonna have Claude create four carousels with five beginner tips. Alright. The first one's done.

00:03:21.350 --> 00:03:24.310
I like the option one. I'm gonna click on open in Canva

00:03:24.390 --> 00:03:44.525
and boom. Now, I can just make it a little bit bigger for my own preferences here. That actually looks really clean. Now, that you understand how this works, let's jump into how we can actually make hundreds of these posts in just a few minutes. Remember, we wanna make this as high quality as possible, but also as time effective as possible. So to do that, we're gonna start by creating a few templates.

00:03:44.605 --> 00:03:55.030
Ideally, you're gonna wanna use your brand kit here. So any fonts that you prefer, your color scheme, any style design or style guides that you have, use that for these templates.

00:03:55.110 --> 00:04:06.415
Inside Canva, if you click the home button on the top left, and then you click on templates on the left side here, you can explore a lot of different template styles that you can use. For this example, we're gonna create an Instagram carousel.

00:04:06.415 --> 00:04:31.720
So let's go ahead and just type in carousel. Find one that you like. For me, I like this one. The style suits me. Go ahead and click customize this template on the right, and it should create a copy that you or Claude can edit. With your template open, go ahead and go back to Claude and paste in this prompt. Analyze this Canva template. Include number of words per section. Ask me questions to replace the text with my info. Roughly follow the same number of words per section. This is really important because Claude already has really well designed templates.

00:04:31.880 --> 00:05:06.605
If Claude spits out something that's too lengthy or has too many words, the typography and design will likely be compromised. By the way, if you're enjoying this type of content, make sure you hit that like button, subscribe, and hit that notification bell to stay informed. Go back to Canva, and with your template open, go ahead and just grab the URL back to Claude, and replace this right here with the link. Claude is then going to analyze the template section by section breakdown. When you're satisfied, go ahead and type looks good and it will make the carousel following the template as a framework. When it's done, it will give you a link to open it back up in Canva. And let's see how it looks. Looks like it messed the time one up, but that's alright.

00:05:06.925 --> 00:05:14.205
So I'm manually changing these, but that one actually doesn't look too bad. By no means is this perfect, but this can definitely create a lot of carousels

00:05:14.285 --> 00:05:20.510
really quickly. This is a bit slower, more manual way to do this, but I want you to get into the habit of checking the quality,

00:05:20.990 --> 00:05:35.805
instead of just going crazy and bulk. Nobody likes slop, but if you can make something of quality, and then make a lot of it, that's when you're gonna start to do really really well. Let me let me show you another example here. Let's try a different style. Let's do the the popular Twitter style. So if we go to home, back to templates.

00:05:35.885 --> 00:05:53.770
I'm gonna type in tweet. This one would work perfect. We'll use this one right here. Go ahead and customize this template. And what you can do is you can ungroup this. You can select the photo and you can actually change in and add your own. So if you already uploaded some, so I already have mine. I can just drag and drop. Now my face is there.

00:05:54.250 --> 00:05:55.850
Alright. And then I go Cody

00:05:57.050 --> 00:06:28.615
McDowell and then I put in my tag. There's my template. Then you come over here to the left at the very bottom, you can see this bulk create. Go ahead and click on that. For this part, you will need a Canva pro account, which unfortunately is not free. You don't need a business account, but you do need a pro account in order to access the bulk create feature. Then you're gonna go back to Claude, and you're gonna type in a prompt similar to this. You can choose who you wanna draw inspiration from, but this is just a quick example. Cool. And just like that, you got a 100 quotes. Go ahead and click download, then and you're gonna upload that data into Canva.

00:06:28.695 --> 00:06:32.695
Once it's uploaded, click on your tweet text, and then click on quote,

00:06:33.015 --> 00:06:35.335
and then you can create a 100 designs.

00:06:35.895 --> 00:07:04.345
Make sure to do a quick quality check before you finish up. You can do this with reels too. You don't have to just do carousels and tweet images. Images. Grab some footage of yourself or if you don't have any footage of yourself, then go grab some stock footage from places like Pexels, Pixabay or Adobe Stock. Place the short video as the background and then you can put your inspirational quotes or messaging or story right on top. In some of your favorite music or copyright free if you wanna be safe, and then we can finally go to the last step, which just so happens to be posting.

00:07:04.425 --> 00:07:13.450
Publishing your content for the world to see. Now you could go and do this manually, but it would take a lot of your time especially if you're creating more than five posts

00:07:13.530 --> 00:07:17.130
for each day. Not to mention writing the captions, adding hashtags,

00:07:17.130 --> 00:07:29.785
SEO if you need to. That can take five to ten minutes each. Instead, just schedule your content out. If you only post once a day, it's still gonna save you five hours every single month. It also makes posting consistently

00:07:29.785 --> 00:07:38.425
much easier, which is gonna give you the best possible chance for growth. There's a lot of scheduling tools out there, but there's really only two that I would recommend for you. The first one is Buffer.

00:07:38.970 --> 00:07:40.890
The second one is bloatato.

00:07:40.890 --> 00:08:21.890
Buffer is gonna be a lot cheaper, and it does require a lot more manual setup, especially in the beginning. And bloatato, while it does cost a little bit more, it is gonna be the most seamless of the two options. You can pretty much schedule your post out, and be done from there. Also, BloTata can be plugged directly into Claude. So if you have created your post on Claude, and you're ready to go, you can tell Claude to schedule it, and post it for you. It'll do all the work for you if you wanted it to. But if you are more interested in long form post, long form content, then you need to check out this video here, where I show you how you can use Claude to make high quality graphics, much better thumbnails that'll double your click through rate. It doesn't matter how good your idea or content is if nobody clicks on it. Your advertisement is just as important as the product.
