### Theme Mode

Theme Mode lets you describe the topics, niche, and style of content you want. Ghost Writer generates varied posts around your theme.

Steps:

1. Select 'Theme mode' in Step 1.
2. Describe your content theme in the text box (e.g., 'AI productivity tips for startup founders, SaaS growth strategies').
3. Optionally include a link to embed in generated posts.
4. Adjust the Content format mix slider between Posts only and Threads only.
5. Toggle 'Add a meme' if you want Ghost Writer to include relevant memes.
6. Choose Auto Publish or Manual Publish on the right panel.
7. Select your posting account and click 'Create task'.

### Goal Mode

Goal Mode lets you specify a concrete outcome (e.g., 'grow followers', 'drive product sign-ups'). Ghost Writer optimises content strategy toward that goal.

Steps:

1. Select 'Goal mode' in Step 1.
2. Enter your specific goal in the text box.
3. Ghost Writer will automatically vary content types to achieve the goal.
4. Review the Console tab to see which post formats are performing best.

### Managing Tasks

Click 'Console' to see all active and completed tasks. You can pause, resume, or delete tasks at any time.

Tip: Running multiple Ghost Writer tasks simultaneously lets you test different themes or goals. Compare their performance in the Console to double down on what works.
