2 Smart Strategies

Use Real Contests to Energize Your Community
Hosting even a small challenge (art, music, video) can ignite engagement like nothing else. Use platforms like TwoShot, Runway, or NightCafe to give people an easy creative playground—and tools like Easypromos to manage submissions and voting.

Repurpose Submissions into Evergreen Content
Turn your challenge entries into blog posts, short reels, or even case studies. You’re not just building a moment—you’re building a content ecosystem with real user stories and social proof.

1 Free Idea You Can Use

Launch a “Storytelling Showdown” with AI Tools

Here’s one you can deploy this week: challenge your followers or subscribers to submit a short story, video, or visual artwork created using free AI tools like Narrato, Canva AI, or Pika. Theme it around something simple—“Dreams of Tomorrow” or “AI + Imagination.”

Let your community vote on the winner via Instagram Stories, a Twitter/X poll, or your website. Offer a light prize: a month of a premium AI tool, a social media spotlight, or even early access to your next project.

Want to make it frictionless? Tools like Easypromos and Typeform streamline entry management and ensure fair judging. Bonus: you collect great user-generated content, build deeper community trust, and grow visibility in the process.

And the best part? Everyone who participates walks away having created something new—with AI at their side.
