Oftentimes it can make a lot of sense to activate users and readers for generating and delivering content. In many cases \u201eUser Generated Content\u201c is especially authentic and above all highly profitable, because it mostly comes at low prices for media<\/a> providers and companies (usually even free of charge). In today’s social media<\/a> world it is a given for most users to create and upload short posts, commentaries, images and videos efficiently and at any time with just a few clicks on their smartphones. Let’s face it: These days each smartphone user is also a content producer. <\/p>\n\n\n

Just like on Facebook: to immediately see which user has posted what and where to <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Social networks illustrate that user generated content<\/a> is particularly attractive for other users. Properly circulated and edited they offer added value compared to classical editorial media and content in the sense of a different and unbiased perspective. An exciting mix of editorial and user generated content especially presents an appealing offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

tchop offers teams various possibilities to work with \u201eUser Generated Content\u201c within their own content offers \u2013 whether as an addition of an editorial theme or as social media like news feeds. All the while editors and administrators keep full control in order to easily put content into the right context<\/a> and to use it to benefit their own product and their own communication<\/a> strategy<\/a> in the best way possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For internal communication<\/a> the motivation and knowledge of staff in a\nworldwide, decentralised organisation can be tapped into and brought together\non one platform<\/a>. Local media can recruit dedicated readers as ‘reader reporters\nand experts’ and by doing so efficiently aggregate hyper local content. For an\napp or a website sports<\/a> clubs can make content producers out of their own fans\nin no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The possibilites are basically endless. Simply make your staff the\ncontent source for your own staff app while having control over which content\nthey can deliver whereto and publish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is how to organise this in two easy steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP 1: Assigning the \u201cEditor Limited\u201c role<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For a user to be able to publish content in selected channels<\/a> and mixes he must have the appropriate rights. An administrator of the organisation simply has to assign the appropriate role to the user. This can be edited very easily in the organisation dashboard in the “Users” tab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Simply open the settings for a user, expand the user settings and change the role <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The \u201eEditor Limited\u201c role can be assigned to as many users as you like (ultimately all users!). You can change this role at any time, in case you want a certain user to generate content only for a certain time and a certain theme. This can be set dynamically and will come into effect for the user when next opening the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP 2: Selecting the mixes for the \u201eEditor Limited\u201c<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whether users with the \u201eEditor Limited\u201c role may be allowed to post content in a mix can be set up for each mix with just one click. Simply activate the appropriate checkbox in the edit mode of the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Enable users to contribute to a mix via a simple checkbox in the edit mode of a mix <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When posting content a user with the appropriate role will only be able\nto see and select those mixes for which this function is activated. This change\ncomes into effect immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That way you can set up certain mixes where all posts by staff, ‘reader\nreporters’ or fans appear. You can also decide whether this mix will be part of\nthe news feed or should only be seen as a separate category in the mixes\noverview. By doing this you can easily determine how important and visible\ncontent will be for all other users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TIP:<\/em> You can create mixes with special titles which are not published and only serve to collect content. Here users can post content, but not publish it. Then editorial and administration can screen the content, edit it and move it to other mixes. Or publish the mix itself at any given time. This option is especially handy if you definitely want to check and filter content before publication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which content can an \u201eEditor Limited\u201c post?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The answer is simple: From the app the user can post all content formats\nour platform handles: images, audio streams, videos, text posts or exciting\nlinks and social media posts from the net. Experts can share interesting links\nthe same way staff can share photos from their last office party or a greeting\nfrom their holidays. But it is always central administration \u2013 see above \u2013 who\ngets to decide which user is allowed to do what and where they may post\nsomething.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TIP<\/em>: What kind of content works well\ncan be witnessed in today’s successful social networks. Normal users mostly\nfind it easy to share photos and videos. Basically every user of a smartphone\nknows how to do this. Modern smartphone cameras offer recordings of astounding\nquality. Especially young target audiences often achieve near professional results\nthanks to the latest mobile technology. At the same time interesting links or\nsocial media posts, which users find in their timeline and want to share with\nothers, can complement your own news feed in quite an efficient way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Information about how adding content is very easy for users can be found\nin this blog post<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But to spoil the surprise let’s just say: It works just as easy as posting on Facebook or Instagram! Content can be added through the app with just a few clicks or can be shared through other apps via our \u201eSharing Extension\u201d. Each user understands the principles of this, so that usually no explanation is needed. Skilled smartphone users can jump right in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you display who has supplied content?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How much your app or your website will become in parts a \u201esocial medium\u201d is totally up to you. But it is important to keep in mind that users who deliver content usually wish to be recognised as sender or producer of said content. This, too, can easily be regulated and controlled by editorial and administration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Check the settings for each mix, so that users will be displayed on all cards<\/a> in the app <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The settings can be done seperate for each single card or across the whole mix. The setting for the mix is determined by the standard setting, although this can be adjusted individually for each card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
In edit mode it is easy to set for each card whether the user is to be displayed in the app <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Discuss and exchange content via chat<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A further, very efficient possibility to aggregate content by users is,\nof course, the chat. In the course of a one on one chat or a group chat users\ncan be asked to contribute. Themes and details can be discussed directly. Users\ncan simply post content in the chat \u2013 the way they know from WhatsApp &\nCo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editorial can then copy selected content from the chat with one click,\npublish it in any mix they wish or also edit it before publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Including users in the production of content is a powerful instrument.\nUser generated content offers an up to date and authentic feel and provides a\nwide variety of content otherwise not possible \u2013 even for small editorial\nteams. At the same time tchop always lets you keep control and enables you to\nfully determine context and structure in order to make sure that the output is\nin your own best interest. You decide how much and where your users may add to\nyour content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without a doubt \u201eUser Generated Content\u201c can make your app more up to\ndate, more exciting and more relevant, but without further cost or effort. This\ngoes for staff apps in a company as well as for news apps<\/a> in the areas of\nspecial interest or local journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t let this opportunity pass you by! You can get in touch with your\ncontact person at tchop at any time. We will be happy to assist you in\nplanning, testing, rollout and successful implementation into your own\nprocesses and apps. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
