Over the last 6 months, the team at Crowd Content<\/a> has been listening to feedback from the content creation world. We\u2019ve heard from existing clients, would-be clients, and writers, all telling us what they need to execute successful content strategies.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve taken this feedback and infused it into the brand new Crowd Content – a robust and intuitive content creation platform<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The new platform replaces the old one and offers more control managing content orders, greater ability managing your freelance writers, and, overall, is a lot easier to use.<\/p>\n

A full tutorial of the new Crowd Content is below. If you don\u2019t have a Crowd Content client account yet<\/strong>, we suggest you create one and check it out<\/a>. It\u2019s free to sign up and look around.<\/p>\n

Dashboard<\/h2>\n

Your new Dashboard makes it easy and quick to see what\u2019s happening with your recent content orders.<\/p>\n

\"Dashboard\"<\/p>\n

Recent Activity<\/h3>\n

Easily view recent activity on your account. We\u2019ve added intuitive icons that tell you when orders are placed, picked up by writers, dropped by writers, or ready for review. Simply hover over an activity item to see quick actions you can perform for that order.<\/p>\n

Order Status Shortcuts<\/h3>\n

Just above your recent activity, we list all orders you currently have for each status. Just click on a status, like \u201cReady\u201d for example, to see all orders that currently have that status.<\/p>\n

Easy Access to Create Orders and Add Funds<\/h3>\n

You\u2019ll notice that the green Create Order and Add Funds buttons are shown in the same place on every page. This makes it easy to find these commonly used actions, saving you time and frustration.<\/p>\n

Featured Blog Posts<\/h3>\n

We\u2019re starting to publish more and more great content at our blog, Crowd Content Resources. On your Dashboard, we list the 4 most recent blog posts to keep you updated on content marketing trends, how-tos, and Crowd Content updates.<\/p>\n

Notification Menu<\/h2>\n

A new feature we\u2019ve added is the Notification Menu. You can view this menu by clicking on the small \u201cnotepad\u201d to the right of your account balance.<\/p>\n

The Notification Menu keeps you up to date on all happenings with your account. For example, we\u2019ll add new notifications when you receive messages from writers or when orders become ready for review.<\/p>\n
