Ever wake up one morning and think to yourself:
“Jeepers self, if only I could schedule Instagram posts ahead of time… and then turn that ability into bottom line profit!”
If so, you’re not alone… some aspects of social marketing are so tedious that smart marketers like you would benefit if only you could find resources to help you schedule your Instagram marketing.
That’s why you’ll enjoy the following resource (and be sure to return here when you’re done so you can take advantage of the other goodies I found for you):

There, you’ll find not 1, not 2 but 7(!) ideas including:
“When you add up the time it takes to stop, think about a post, capture the image, make your image Insta-worthy, consider and craft the copy, and post to Instagram, you’re looking at a couple of decent chunks of time taken out of your day. Not to mention the time wasted getting back into your workflow once that’s been interrupted.
Advance scheduling of Instagram posts allows you to set aside a block of time at your convenience to do all this at once. No interrupting other work and no time spent refocusing, which means you’re actively increasing your productivity to get more done in a shorter amount of time. You can set it all up and then move on to the next thing, knowing posting for the day/week/month is taken care of….”
and
“…Some businesses have abandoned any hashtag strategy altogether in favor of flooding updates with them. This strategy seems to be the go-to for businesses with a lack of time and forethought. They’re essentially throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks.
When you plan what you’re going to post and schedule everything out in advance, you can more readily identify common themes and research the most popular hashtags related to your topic, product, industry, customer base, etc.
Posting with a handful of smart, well-researched hashtags can ensure your updates end up in the right feeds, in front of your target audience….”
and more!
Good stuff indeed.
