Why Scheduling and Batching are your best friends when it comes to Social Media!

This blog will talk about why Scheduling and Batching are your best friends when it comes to social media.

Content planning is such an important way to organise yourself when it comes to social media. It’s good to have plans as far in advance as you can so you can keep your media fresh and keep content coming out.

I have attached a free template at the end of this email to help you get started so stick around!

First. you need to figure out what you are going to be talking about. Sort out the themes for your account and brainstorm ideas. For example a beauty salon can do education, personal, and offers. So they can brainstorm a nail art how to post for educational, a picture of them as personal, and what offers they have on. Brainstorm different ideas so you have a range of topics to talk about.

Next pick the time and days you are going to post. This up to you, and can be helped by looking at your analytics so you get an idea on when your clients are online, and aim for that time. You can schedule the posts for that time and adjust as you go.

Next you need to batch posts. Writing for an extended period of time will help you come up with even more ideas and also focus your mind on the task at hand. You can do 20 mins, an hour, a day, whatever suits you - but do these bursts of writing and it means that you will have a load of posts written and scheduled.

As in my last blog post - you also need to have a contingency plan so read that and apply here.

Doing this means you can concentrate on your business more effectively, have confidence in the quality of the photos and posts you are putting up, and know that your feed will be more strategic.

I hope this blog helps, and DM me on my socials to chat about anything social.
