This guide walks the shortest path through Velisto: set up your brand, connect one channel, add a listing, and let the AI turn it into a scheduled post. Each step links to a deeper article if you want more detail.
Before you start
You'll need a Velisto account (sign up here — email or Google), your logo if you have one, a headshot, and one property you're currently marketing.
Step 1 — Complete onboarding
When you first sign in, Velisto asks about you — your name, your role, your brokerage, the markets you sell in, and what you do in a sentence or two. Don't rush the last part: it's what teaches the AI to sound like you. Then you pick a plan and check out, and you're in the app. Details: Complete your onboarding.
Step 2 — Set up your brand and headshot
Open Workspace settings → Brand & persona and add your logo, brand colors and headshot. Everything Velisto designs from now on uses them, so two minutes here pays for itself on every post. Details: Set up your brand and Your persona & headshot.
Step 3 — Connect a channel
Instagram is the usual first pick for agents — see Connect Instagram for the account requirements — but any of Instagram, Facebook or TikTok works for this guide.
You can create and design content with no channels connected at all — you just won't be able to schedule it anywhere yet.
Step 4 — Add a listing
Go to Listings and add your property — address, price, beds, baths, and the photos. Good photos matter most: they become the visual material for every design. If the listing is already published on your own website, importing it from a URL saves the typing.
Step 5 — Create your first post
From the listing, choose Create with AI. Velisto writes a caption from the property facts in your voice, pairs it with a branded design using your listing photos, and shows you the result. Swap the design, edit the caption, or regenerate until it feels right — you approve everything before it goes anywhere.
When this listing deserves more than one post, generate a Listing Kit instead — the same flow, but you get a whole campaign for the property in one go.
Step 6 — Schedule it
Pick the channel, pick a time, and schedule. The post lands on the calendar, where you can drag it to a different slot any time before it publishes. At the scheduled moment, Velisto posts it for you — no phone reminder, no copy-paste.
