From Zero to Scheduled: Your First Campaign in Under 5 Minutes

The best tools disappear. You don't think about them — you just use them and get results. That's what creating a social media campaign should feel like.

Most social media tools have a learning curve. Templates to choose, settings to configure, integrations to set up. By the time you've figured out the interface, you've lost the creative momentum that brought you there.

Archy Social works differently. There's no learning curve because there's nothing to learn. You write what you want, and AI handles the rest. This tutorial walks through the entire process — from opening the app to having posts scheduled across multiple networks.

Step 1: Write Your Brief (60 seconds)

A brief is just a description of what you want to communicate. It doesn't need to be polished or formatted. Think of it as a message to an assistant:

• "Promote our new pricing page. Highlight that we have a free tier and the Pro plan is $29/month. Target small business owners and solo marketers."

• "Share our latest blog post about LinkedIn strategy. Make it valuable — give away the key insight in the caption. Professional tone."

• "Announce our Product Hunt launch. Excited and grateful tone. Ask people to support us. Include the PH link."

That's it. No character count worries, no platform-specific formatting. Just your message in plain language.

Step 2: AI Generates Everything (30 seconds)

Once you submit your brief, AI generates:

Step 3: Review and Approve (90 seconds)

AI shows you everything it generated. For each network, you see the caption, visual, hashtags, and scheduled time. You can:

• Approve as-is (most common — AI output is publication-ready ~80% of the time)

• Edit any caption or swap words

• Regenerate a specific network's caption if the angle doesn't fit

• Change the scheduled time if you want a different slot

• Skip a network entirely if it's not relevant to this campaign

Most users scan, make one or two small tweaks, and approve. The AI learns from your edits over time, making future generations even more aligned with your voice.

Step 4: Schedule and Done (30 seconds)

Hit schedule. Your posts are queued and will publish automatically at the designated times. You'll see them in your calendar view, and you'll get notifications when they go live.

From blank page to fully scheduled campaign: under 5 minutes. No templates. No learning curve. Just describe what you want, review the AI's work, and approve.

What Happens After

Once posts publish, Archy Social tracks their performance — impressions, engagement rate, clicks. This data feeds back into the scheduling algorithm, so your next campaign performs even better. It's a system that improves itself.
