Trendmaster automatically reads thousands of news sources weekly and delivers personalized trending topics and content ideas based on your brand and expertise. This guide covers the complete setup and optimization process.
Understanding Your Trendmaster Configuration
With Pressmaster.ai, Trendmaster operates as an automated trend detection system that delivers relevant opportunities for content creation:
1. Essential Pre-Setup Requirement
Brand Guide Foundation Before setting up Trendmaster, create the detailed brand guide. This step is essential because the brand guide ensures trends align closely with your brand positioning and expertise.
Without proper brand guide configuration, Trendmaster may deliver results that don't match your specific focus areas and business requirements.
2. How Trendmaster Functions
Multi-Agent System Trendmaster operates as a chain of specialized agents:
First Agent: Reads through thousands of news sources every single week
Second Agent: Sorts content by your industry classification
Third Agent: Filters content by your specific expertise areas
Fourth Agent: Refines trends based on your brand guide specifications
The brand guide serves as the final filter, ensuring all delivered trends align with your established brand parameters and expertise areas.
3. Initial Trendmaster Setup
Accessing Configuration Begin setup by clicking "Set Preferences" within the Trendmaster section.
Industry Selection Use the "Help me choose the right industry" feature for optimal results. This automated selection process:
Eliminates manual industry searching
Automatically suggests relevant industries based on your expertise
Uses standard industry classifications required for news and trend categorization
This approach addresses the broad industry categories required by news classification systems while ensuring accurate alignment with your specific focus.
4. Geographic and Language Configuration
Region Selection Choose your preferred geographic focus:
Worldwide: Global trend coverage
Europe: European market focus
North America: North American market trends
Specific Countries: Individual country targeting
Language Preferences Configure language settings to match your content creation and audience requirements.
6. Keyword Configuration
Expertise-Based Keywords Add keywords that reflect your specific expertise areas. Approach keyword selection based on your professional focus rather than search engine optimization.
Example Applications:
Marketing experts: Add "marketing" or "AI marketing"
Specialized expertise: Include specific industry terminology
Multiple focus areas: Add various relevant expertise keywords
Keyword Exclusions The exclude keywords feature is available for specific content restrictions. Leave this section empty unless you have particular topics that cannot be addressed in your content strategy.
6. Activation and Results
Final Configuration Complete setup by:
Confirming your email address for trend notifications
Clicking "Apply Preferences" to activate the system
Allowing 30-40 minutes for initial trend analysis and delivery
Content Delivery Trendmaster delivers approximately:
30-40 trending topics weekly
100 content ideas for implementation
7. Understanding Your Results
Trending Topics Topics currently experiencing high engagement and discussion within your industry and expertise areas.
Relevant Stories Industry-related content that may not be trending but remains relevant to your expertise. These stories typically achieve 80-90% relevance to your brand focus.
Content Structure Each trend includes:
Summary: Overview of the trending topic
Overall Sentiment: Market perception and discussion tone
Content Ideas: Brand-specific angles based on your brand guide
Sources: Reference materials for cross-verification and additional research
Strategic Breadth Trending topics are intentionally broader to enable creative connections and diverse content opportunities. This approach provides more trending topics rather than limiting results to extremely narrow matches.
8. Implementation Strategy
Daily Operations Effective Trendmaster usage involves:
Regular dashboard review (daily or every other day)
Trend evaluation for content opportunities
Selection of 2-4 trends weekly for content creation
Capitalization on algorithmic trend preferences
Algorithm Optimization Publishing content based on trends is particularly effective for platform algorithms, especially LinkedIn, which prioritizes trend-based content in distribution and engagement.
Content Creation Integration Select any content idea from trending topics to begin creating articles or social media posts directly within the platform.
