Podcast: How to create Social Ads that don’t look like ads

In short

  • Balance entertainment and conversion to create content that attracts without looking like an ad.
  • Humour, satire and stories work when connected to a message that guides users towards action.
  • Structure your daily videos around a clear objective: attract, spark interest, generate desire and drive action.

Discover how to create daily content that people don’t just like… but that converts.

In this episode of TODO ES CONTENIDO, we dive into one of the biggest challenges for brands and creators: finding the balance between entertaining and selling. Today, social media (social media strategy) rewards attention, but businesses need conversions. How can you bring both worlds together without looking like an ad or losing freshness?

Through clear examples, practical insights and real-life situations from the UGC world, we explain:

  • What really distinguishes entertaining content from content that sells (and why they are not enemies).
  • Why humour, satire and stories work, but only when connected to a message that guides users towards action. See examples of UGC videos.
  • How to turn entertaining content into strategic content without sounding commercial.
  • How to structure your daily videos around a clear objective: attract, interest, desire, action (yes, without making it obvious).
  • Concrete examples for Instagram, TikTok and UGC creators who want to improve their conversion rate while maintaining their natural style.
