How to survive in the Digital Content Chaos? Super Apps Can Help Content Creators

by Robson Lisboa

The digital world changes so fast it feels like it's always moving the goalposts. For content creators, it's a constant battle to keep their audience engaged and interested. Creators struggle to keep up with many concurrent tasks – making new relevant content, figuring out what people actually want to see these days, keeping track of all their audiences, learning how AI can help, among many others. The relentless pursuit of engagement and viewership often leads to burnout. It's like running a race where the finish line keeps moving further away! To face the truth, today it is really hard to maintain a loyal audience in a sea of distractions. What is the solution to that?

Worse than that, content creators must keep the audience they've got. As the little prince has taught us, "you are responsible forever for what you have tamed". The translation from the original text may be wrongly interpreted. It's important to consider the nuance of the original phrase and how it is interpreted in different contexts. The literal translation "tamed" may not fully capture the intended meaning, as it may imply a process of domination or submission. A more accurate and comprehensive translation would be "You are eternally responsible for those ones which you have made your own". This translation emphasizes the mutual responsibility between the individual and those ones which he or she has captivated, recognizing that the process of creating a deep bond involves care, nurturing and mutual respect. So, as a content creator or as a community nurturer, you have made the audience your own and you have a mutual responsibility of care, nurturing and respect. But, how technology could help on that, mostly in this crazy world of technology changing every day?

As a content creator, for sure the challenge is big to you, but there is technology that can help: intelligent super apps is a game-changing solution. These all-encompassing platforms puts the audience close to you, offering a centralized hub for a wide range of services, seamlessly integrating content creation, audience engagement, and monetization strategies. For content creators with an established audience, super apps represent a golden opportunity to elevate their reach, strengthen their connection with content consumers, and secure a sustainable path for their creative endeavors.

Understanding the Core Concept of Intelligent Super Apps

The Intelligent Super App is designed to be simple yet powerful. It delivers three key functionalities:

1. Content Delivery to your full audience, from many sources: Users can access and consume the content you provide, both from physical or digital touchpoints.
2. Interactivity: The app allows for two-way communication between you and your audience.
3. Integrated Systems Interaction: Users can interact with other platforms or integrated systems based on their needs. This way, all they systems you provide to the audience can be reach through a single door, your super app.

This simplicity stems from the app's modular design. We don't bundle all functionalities into a single, complex software. Instead, the app can incorporate new features ("chunks" of software) as required by the user's journey. Here is the magic of a real super app solution.

The User Journey Defines the App

The user journey is paramount. It dictates the content users access, keep, and respond to (with data). It determines the functionalities they need within the app (unused functionalities are simply not included in their version). Finally, the user journey influences how the app behaves based on the context of interaction. Different contexts can trigger different content, interactions, and software behavior. But, how Super Apps understand the journeys and contexts? It is defined by the triggers found along the way: transmedias, QR Codes, geolocation, internal and external navigation, among others.

Super Apps: Simplicity Powered by Complexity

In essence, super apps are simple user interfaces powered by a complex network of cloud-based software and algorithms. This cloud infrastructure acts as a publishing tool for content creators, delivering relevant content to end-users. In our case, it is our studio.midiacode.com, we proudly offer to the market!

Beyond the WeChat Model

Super apps are not limited to the "WeChat" model with a massive, diverse audience buying food through a chat platform. We don't want to minimize WeChat, but we want to empower a super app model that you can think about. Super apps are platforms for content creators to build trust and connection with their captivated audience. They offer an escape from the noise of complex social networks, mailings and websites, lost in the sea of cyberspace, where creators fight for true attention.

Super Apps for Your "Tamed" Audience:

Super apps are for the audience you've nurtured and built a bond with. This includes your employees (as you're their employer, the one that gives them the chance to perform and to make things happen), your social media followers (if you're an influencer), or your members (if you're an association). If you have a dedicated audience you connect with, a super app can be your own digital space. Social media, mailing, websites and all other efforts then become tools to drive your audience to your own realm – your super app.

Super apps cater to your loyal audience, those who value your content and offerings. They provide a space for deeper connection and a more controlled environment compared to crowded digital channels like social media, email, and others. By creating your own super app, you empower your audience and solidify your bond with them.

The Audience Retention Struggle: A Common Challenge

Content creators often find themselves battling the relentless tide of information overload. Their audiences, bombarded with a constant stream of content from various sources, struggle to keep up, leading to a gradual decline in engagement and viewership.
