AI Social Media Content Generator

Generate a full week of ready-to-publish social media content in under 60 seconds. No copywriting skills required.

Stop staring at a blank screen. This Actor takes your topic, brand voice, and target audience — then generates platform-optimized posts for LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest using AI (Claude or GPT, your choice).

Every post is formatted for its platform, includes hashtags, and is ready to copy-paste and publish. No editing needed.

What you get

For each post generated, you receive:

• Full post text, formatted for the specific platform
• Relevant hashtags (platform-appropriate count)
• Content style label (educational, storytelling, listicle, etc.)
• Hook / opening line extracted separately for easy preview
• Engagement estimate (low / medium / high)
• Best time to post suggestion
• Character count with limit validation

Supported platforms:

Platform	Format	Hashtags	Max Length
LinkedIn	Professional long-form with hooks	5	3,000 chars
X / Twitter	Punchy, concise, thread-ready	2	280 chars
Instagram	Conversational with emoji formatting	15	2,200 chars
Pinterest	SEO-rich pin descriptions	5	500 chars

Pricing

$0.10 per post generated — that is it. No monthly fees, no subscriptions, no hidden charges.

What you need	Posts	Cost
Quick test	5 posts, 1 platform	$0.50
One week of content	5 posts × 4 platforms	$2.00
Monthly content batch	30 posts × 4 platforms	$12.00
Agency (10 clients)	20 posts × 4 platforms × 10	$80.00

Compare that to hiring a freelance copywriter ($50–150 per post) or spending 30+ minutes writing each post yourself.

How to use it

Step 1: Enter your topic

Be specific. Instead of "marketing", try "B2B content marketing strategies for SaaS startups with limited budgets."

Step 2: Configure your settings

• Pick your platforms — LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Pinterest, or all four
• Set your brand voice — "professional but approachable" or "bold and provocative" or anything in between
• Choose content style — educational tips, storytelling, listicles, hot takes, how-tos, or a mix
• Select your AI — Claude (Anthropic) or GPT (OpenAI) — bring your own API key

Step 3: Hit Start

The Actor generates your content in under 60 seconds. Each post lands in your dataset, ready to export as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Step 4: Publish

Copy-paste directly to your platforms. Every post is formatted and ready to go.

FAQ

How much does each post cost in AI API fees? Roughly $0.005–0.02 per post depending on length and provider. A batch of 20 posts typically costs under $0.30 in API fees on top of the Actor's per-post charge.

Can I schedule posts directly from this Actor? This Actor generates content only. For scheduling, export your posts and use Buffer, Hootsuite, or connect via Zapier/Make.

What if a post exceeds the platform character limit? Each post includes a within_limit flag. The AI is prompted to stay within limits, but if a post runs over, you will see it flagged in the output.

Can I run this on a schedule? Yes. Set up an Apify schedule to generate fresh content weekly or daily. Combine with webhooks to send results to Slack, email, or Google Sheets automatically.

Do you store my API keys? No. API keys are marked as secrets in the input schema and are encrypted by Apify. They are used only during the Actor run and are never logged or stored.
