Overview#

Creating your first project in Scribe Spark is the next step after setting up your organization. Projects are the foundation of your content creation workflow, allowing you to organize content by campaign, client or product - however you name it.

This guide will walk you through creating your first project, configuring essential settings, and setting up the foundation for successful content creation.

Creating Your First Project#

Project Setup Process

  1. Access Project Creation: Navigate to the projects section in your organization
  2. Click "Create Project": Start the project creation wizard
  3. Enter Basic Information: Provide project name and description
  4. Review & Create: Review your settings and finalize the project

Essential Project Information

  • Project Name: Choose a clear, descriptive name that reflects the project's purpose
  • Description: Provide a brief overview of what the project is about

💡 Pro Tip

Use a consistent naming convention for your projects. Consider including the client name, campaign name, or product name in the project name for easy identification.

Project Settings#

Product Details

  • Product Name: Define your product name
  • Product Category: Define your product category
  • Product Description: Define your product description
  • Website URL: Define your website URL
  • Include Website in Content: Decide if you want to include the website URL in the content by default

Workflow Settings

Configure how content moves through your creation process, including approval workflows, review stages, and publishing schedules. This ensures consistency and quality control across all content.

Setting Up Target Personas#

What are Personas?

Personas are detailed profiles of your target audience that help the AI generate more relevant and engaging content. They represent your ideal customers or readers and guide content creation decisions.

Creating Effective Personas

  • Demographics: Age, gender, location, education level, and income
  • Professional Background: Job title, industry, experience level, and responsibilities
  • Interests & Hobbies: What they enjoy doing in their free time
  • Pain Points: Challenges and problems they face
  • Goals & Aspirations: What they want to achieve
  • Communication Preferences: How they prefer to receive information

Persona Benefits

Well-defined personas help the AI understand your audience better, resulting in content that resonates more strongly with your target readers. This leads to higher engagement and better conversion rates.

✅ Best Practice

Create 3-5 detailed personas for each project. This gives you enough variety to target different segments while keeping your content focused and relevant.

Content Planning & Strategy#

Content Calendar Setup

A content calendar helps you plan, organize, and schedule your content creation and publication. It ensures consistency and helps you maintain a regular posting schedule.
