Does Collab. create my images or write my copy?

No. Collab. does not provide any content creation services. You are responsible for providing or you can choose from one of our professional paid freelancers.

• Images: High-quality photos, graphics, or logos that are ready to post. For LinkedIn, professional imagery is recommended.
• Copy: The text of your social media post, including hashtags, links, and calls to action. For LinkedIn, a more professional and detailed tone is often appropriate.

We will post your content exactly as provided, only making minor formatting adjustments if necessary (e.g., resizing images to fit platform specifications).

Can I choose which platform my content goes on?

Yes. You can select individual platforms or bundle packages. For example, you might choose Instagram only, LinkedIn only, X only, or combinations like Instagram + LinkedIn, LinkedIn + X, or all three platforms together for maximum visibility.

When will my content be posted?

Posting schedules depend on your package. Options include:

• 24 hours (Featured packages)
• 1-5 business working days (Standard packages)
• 30 days (Extended packages)
• Custom schedules for multi-post campaigns

Can I see the post before it goes live?

We will post according to your submitted content. You will receive a link to the post once it is live.

• Instagram: Visual-first platform. Best for high-quality images, branding, and reaching a younger, highly engaged audience. Requires strong visuals. Ideal for lifestyle brands, products, and creative work.
• LinkedIn: The professional network. Ideal for B2B marketing, job postings, professional services, industry news, thought leadership, and corporate announcements. Requires a professional tone and often longer-form content.
• X (Twitter): Best for quick updates, news announcements, job postings, and real-time engagement. Concise copy is key. Ideal for timely information and engaging with industry conversations.

1. Single Post Packages (1 Post / 1 Image / 1 Link)

To ensure your content is posted successfully and effectively, please adhere to the following guidelines:

Image Requirements:

• Format: JPEG or PNG.
• Resolution: High-quality, clear images. Minimum recommended resolutions:
  • Instagram: 1080 x 1080 pixels (square) or appropriate aspect ratio (1080 x 1350 for portrait, 1080 x 566 for landscape).
  • LinkedIn: 1200 x 627 pixels (recommended for link sharing) or 1080 x 1080 pixels.
  • X: 1200 x 675 pixels (16:9 aspect ratio recommended).
• Relevance: Images must be directly relevant to your post and brand.
• Ownership: You must own the rights to all images provided. Do not submit copyrighted images you do not have permission to use.
• Text on Images: If your image contains text, ensure it is legible and not too small, especially for mobile viewing.
• LinkedIn-Specific: Professional, high-quality images work best. Avoid overly casual or low-resolution visuals.

Copy Requirements:

• Final Draft: Your copy must be the final version, fully proofread and ready to post.
• Platform Considerations:
  • Instagram: Concise and engaging. Hashtags are essential. Include your link in your bio or use the "link in bio" call-to-action.
  • LinkedIn: Professional tone. Can be longer-form (several paragraphs). Include hashtags and tag relevant companies or individuals. Focus on value, insights, or clear announcements.
  • X: Very concise (under 280 characters is ideal). Use hashtags sparingly.
• Call to Action (CTA): Tell your audience what you want them to do (e.g., "Visit our website," "Apply now," "Learn more," "Contact us," "Read our blog").
• Tags/Mentions: Provide the exact handles of any accounts you want us to tag (e.g., @yourcompany, @partner). For LinkedIn, provide the full company page URL or exact name.

Link Requirements:

• Provide the full URL you want included in the post (e.g., https://yourwebsite.com/page).
• Ensure the link is correct and working.
• For LinkedIn, you may want to provide a link that generates a rich preview.

Submission Process:

You will receive a submission form or email address where you can send all your materials in one package. Please label everything clearly and indicate which platform(s) each piece of content is for.

Send your images, copy, and any specific instructions (platform choices, tags, links) to Collab. via the provided submission method.

Step 2: Select Your Package & Make Payment

Choose your platform(s), post quantity (1 or 3), and duration (24h, 1-5 days, 30 days). Complete the payment process (unless using the free individual job-seeker service).

Step 1: Prepare Your Content

Create your final images and write your copy for each platform you have chosen. Proofread everything carefully and ensure it is tailored to the tone of each platform (e.g., professional for LinkedIn, visual for Instagram).

Step 4: Content Review (Format Only)

Collab. will review your content to ensure it meets basic technical requirements (e.g., image format, copy length). We will not edit, proofread, or fact-check your content.

Step 5: Scheduling & Posting

We will schedule your post(s) according to your package timeline. You will be notified once your content is live, and we will provide you with links to the posts on each platform.

Step 6: Engage with Your Audience

Once your post is live, it's your responsibility to monitor comments, replies, and messages across all platforms. Engage with your audience promptly to maximize the benefit of the promotion.

Step 7: Report Back (If Included)

Depending on your package, we may provide you with basic analytics (e.g., reach, impressions, engagement) after the post has run its course.
