Posting regularly is important to achieve your objectives. Consistency is key, great content is crucial and when you post is consequential. Exactly how often you should post differs per platform and on how large your following is, and depends on what your goals are. On some platforms with a large audience, it is recommended that you post twice a day. Creating winning content and posting it twice a day, every day, does not come without its difficulties, and this would only be on one of your platforms.
Thanks to social media management tools we now have a whole lot of help managing all of this. For example, using the scheduling function on Vista Social means a regular schedule is kept, which means consistency is maintained with all its benefits. We can create posts ahead of time and this means more time to spend on content creation so that posts truly engage and maximum benefits are received. Plan your content a week in advance, create your posts and schedule them: Voilà, your posting problems solved!
Now that we have all these great tools, the question is how do we use them? Read on for a step-by-step guide on how to post and schedule on Vista Social.
STEP ONE: Navigate to the Publish tab on the home page. Click on it and you can choose from a drop down menu:
Being able to schedule a post is at the core of Vista Social’s scheduling system.
1. Select social profiles that you would like to publish to
In this step, you can select any number of social profiles to publish this message to. There is no limit. With Vista Social you can publish to Twitter, Facebook (pages and groups), Google Business, Instagram business profiles, LinkedIn pages, Pinterest, Reddit, and YouTube
2. Compose the actual message
3. Preview and customize the message for each platform
This is the optional step where you both preview how your post will look on each platform. This is quite important since it avoids posting content that does not look as good as you thought it might. This step also enables you to take advantage of a number of network-specific customizations that will enable you to take advantage of each social media platform’s unique features.
4. Pick when you would like your post to be scheduled
