There are other scheduling tools, too. The goal is to set them up and stay consistent with your posts.
Tips for Automating Your Social Media Posts
1. Don’t Forget About Engagement
Your followers want to be engaged with. If you’re bombarding their feeds with posts and ignoring their comments and questions, you’ll start to lose your following. Be sure to log into your accounts every day or two to reply to comments, like people’s posts and engage with your audience.
2. Vary Your Posts for Each Platform
It’s easy to fall into the trap of posting about your jewelry and products in every post. A lot of companies do this, and they never gain the traction they deserve on social media. You'll need to go on each platform and create a schedule of mixed posts.
A few types of posts may be:
- Photos
- Videos
- Tutorials
- Quotes
- Benefits of a stone or metal
- Questions and answers
- News
For example, you might post a product video one day and then a video tutorial on how to clean gold necklaces the next. Your next post may be educational and help you gain the trust of your followers and build your brand.
3. Create Content for Different Profiles
Create a rich variety of posts and post for each network. You might be able to reuse your content across some platforms, but remember some platforms are different than others. For example:
- Twitter and Instagram use hashtags a lot
- LinkedIn is a great option for connecting with businesses, creating how-to content and sharing case studies
- Facebook users love stories, quizzes and inspirational content
Make use of Fleets, Stories and the like to connect with your followers on a more intimate level.
4. Analyze and Refine
Every platform has its best posting times and posts that seem to do better than others. It's important to take a step back, analyze which posts are working and which don’t seem to gain traction with your audience.
When you’re able to do this, you can prune scheduled posts that don’t perform well and start integrating those that do.
Your posts provide insight into your audience and what they want to see you post on your account. Analyze the posts that do well every two weeks or month to see what works and doesn’t with your audience.
Over time, you’ll be able to create content that is shared and commented on frequently. The posts that do well today may also not do well tomorrow, so frequent analysis is ideal.
If you use these tips, you’ll still be able to have a hands-on social media presence while also relieving the burden of posting daily. The upfront time commitment to schedule posts will pay off in the end when you have more time to focus on other areas of your business.
