How do Startups Create Unique Social Media Content?

[MakeMoreMoves]

This is something I never really understood.

I see big brands that do #examplebusiness to be featured on our instagram account! Lets take an example of accessories brand. The customers do all the work of taking the best and unique shots of them wearing the brand and #examplebusiness. The consumer gets to get their little shot of fame /glory and the business gets free content and in turn it strengthens the bond between consumer and business.

Another way, to get content creation is if you have affiliates and you can rehash their pictures. Their pictures should be of good quality, since they are trying to get their commissions.

But, these two methodologies seem to work if you have momentum and after you get the momentum you can grow exponentially.

Customers will start to see their friends wearing it which in turns create social proof for the brand. The customer becomes infatuated with brand hence going through great lengths to get featured on the business instagram.

At first, nobody wants to be an affiliate of a no name business. When you have a following, there is a change of power now. No longer, do you have to ask anyone to be an affiliate. They ask you to become an affiliate. You move up the ladder of choosing affiliates, before you were only asking people to be affiliates that had only 100k following, now you can easily ask someone with a 1M following.


So, back to my question,

If I am a startup brand with absolutely zero customers and following:

How do I get someone to be an affiliate of a no name company?

How do i produce high quality social media content that isn't just reposts of other people's content? When I say high quality content, I am taking about difficult to reproduce and/or unique content. The see these accessories brands have their products in front of lamborghinis, ferraris, famous landmarks, beaches, rainforests. How does a startup get these photos without customers, affiliates, while it being cost effective? The DIY method very inefficient from my experience. I have tried to produce my own content and it not only does it take a significant amount of time, but the photos are subpar in comparison. This takes away time from the internal business workings.

It seems the hardest part if to get the all rolling in branding and social proof, but everything falls into place once it is rolling. How do I get the ball rolling?
