DrumUp has undergone a serious remodel. If you loved keyword based content curation, you will adore the ability to curate multiple of these content streams.
If you found DrumUp’s blog and RSS feed auto-posting very useful, you will love auto-posting for content libraries.

 

Here’s a first look at the new dashboard.

Introducing the new dashboard

The three key changes which will make your life curating, creating and scheduling content a lot simpler are discussed below.

I. Content streams

You can now manage and schedule all your content from three types of streams – keyword based content suggestions, RSS feeds, and content libraries. The option to create and schedule a custom post stays the same as before.

These streams can be accessed and created from the left menu. Each of the three types of streams and how you can work with them are discussed in detail below.

 

1. Keyword based content suggestion streams for content curation

You can use multiple content suggestion streams to curate content for several clients or social accounts from different industries.

Previously, you could curate content based on one keyword set per social media account, but now you can curate multiple content streams for different industries and link each stream to post to one or multiple social accounts.

A. Creating multiple keyword based content streams

• Click on ‘Add content stream’ and then ‘Get content suggestions for keywords’.
• Choose your keywords and build the content stream.
• The tool lets you add a custom label for each stream so you can organize your content.

B. Linking content stream with social accounts & working with Stream Settings

• Select any content stream and click on ‘Settings’.
• Choose the social accounts you want to 1-click Schedule to from the selected content stream.
• You can also change keywords or add your country to curate more local content from here.

 

2. RSS feed streams to pull content from company/industry blogs

Never miss an update from your favorite industry blogs or news publications. Add them all to DrumUp and share posts from there.

.

RSS feed streams can also be set on auto-post for selected social accounts – a great option for auto-posting your company blog posts on your social media pages.

A. Creating multiple RSS feed streams to curate content

• Click on ‘Add content stream’ and ’Add RSS feed’.
• Insert your feed URL.
• Label your RSS feed.

B. Linking RSS feed with social accounts & working with Stream Settings

The settings for these feeds work pretty much the same way as settings for the content suggestions streams.

 

3. Content libraries to organize and reuse content

You can create multiple content libraries to store different types of content for reuse.

Store evergreen content and content templates such as evergreen content, seasonal content,  best posts, long form content, content templates, quotes and inspirational content in content libraries.

With the new update, you can also set content libraries on auto-post at a chosen frequency for your selection of social media accounts.

A. Creating multiple content libraries to organize all your content

• Click on ‘Add content stream’ and ’Add content library’.
• Label your library.
• You will be led to the Settings page which you can customize as per your requirement. Refer to the next section on how to put libraries on auto-post to social accounts.

B. Linking library to social media accounts for automatic queue refills

To ensure that your social media queues are never empty, use your curated content from a library on auto-post. To do this:

• Turn the automatic refill switch on.
• Choose social accounts you want to link the library to.
• Choose a frequency for posting and when to stop (if you want a post to expire on some date/time).
• Select ‘Shuffle posts’ to reorder outgoing posts at random, so there’s more variety and less repetitions in your social queues.

 

II. Social media accounts/queues

All of your scheduled content can be reviewed easily from the section on the left menu, which is just below where your content streams are.

You can view your content in list or calendar form and edit/delete scheduled posts from there.

You can add social accounts easily by clicking on the add symbol underneath your existing accounts.

III. Analytics & settings

There are two types of settings – content stream settings and social account settings.

To access settings for content streams/social accounts:

• Click on the content stream/social account in the left menu.
• Click on Settings in the top horizontal bar.

 

1. Content stream settings

You can change keywords, enable one-click or auto-posting for your social accounts from the Settings tab under each content stream.
