I want to promote the following:
Topic: Our app's new "Smart Recommendations" feature launch
Core selling points:

Create customized content for different platforms.

Please generate platform-specific content:

**Weibo** (140 character limit, with emoji):

No more getting lost in endless content, AI helps you find what interests you most...
[Hashtags] #SmartRecommendations #ProductivityTools

**Xiaohongshu (RED)** (visual style, 300-500 words):
[emoji series] Title: Finally here! This feature is SO useful!

[Sections + subtitles + emojis]

#ProductRecommendation #ProductivityTool

Each day's content includes:

Step 4: Add Interactivity

Design elements that encourage user participation.

Add interactive elements to the content:

   "How much time do you spend finding content daily? Tell me in the comments!"

   "Which feature do you prefer?
   A. Smart Recommendations [emoji]
   B. Personalized Settings [emoji]
   Vote in the comments!"

   "Yesterday a user told me: 'This feature is amazing!'
   Have you had a similar experience?"

5. **UGC Collection**
   "Share your experience with hashtag #SmartRecommendations
   Top 10 likes win merchandise"

Generate 2-3 examples for each type

Step 5: Optimize for Reach

Add techniques to boost exposure.

Please optimize content for better reach:

1. **Title Optimization**
   - Use numbers: "3 reasons to love XX"
   - Use questions: "Why is XX better than YY?"
   - Use comparison: "Before XX vs After XX"
   - Use pain points: "Still struggling with XX?"

2. **Hashtag Strategy**

Warning: Social media content must comply with platform rules and avoid sensitive words. Don't over-market—stay authentic and valuable. Frequent advertising leads to unfollows.

Tip: The golden 3-second rule: Capture attention in the first 3 seconds. Start with a hook, like "Shocking!", "Breaking!", "Finally...". But don't be clickbait—the content must deliver value.

Common Questions

Q: How do I improve content engagement rates? A: Ask more questions, seek opinions, run polls. Add CTAs (calls to action) at the end. Engage authentically and respond to comments promptly. Content should provide value, not just self-promotion.

Q: How often should I post? A: Quality > Quantity. 1-2 quality posts a day beats 10 low-quality ones. Maintain a consistent rhythm to build audience expectations. Increase frequency during campaigns.

Q: How should I handle negative comments? A: Respond sincerely without deleting or arguing. Take constructive criticism seriously and defuse malicious attacks with humor. Handle issues privately via DM when necessary.
