I’ve been using CoSchedule for a few months to help reduce the time I spend on social media. As most of you know, social media can be a HUGE time suck. I head over to Facebook to publish a post and end up spending 20 minutes or more scrolling through my feed! Now with CoShedule, I can just schedule all my social media in advance and be done.
I participated in a charity event in December and spent about 15 minutes scheduling out reminder posts for the 2 weeks of the event on all my social media platforms. I didn’t have to think about promoting the event again, CoSchedule took care of it while I was busy working on other blog tasks.
You can even schedule a post on multiple platforms at once!
I was also able to add my assistant to my team, so she can schedule social media posts for me. Taking advantage of this feature more in 2015 is a top priority. My assistant will take over my social media, and I can track the posts right in my dashboard.
In order to grow traffic, you need to constantly promote your posts. Why bother creating awesome content if you’re not going to continually share it with your audience?
Get your CoSchedule account set up by installing the plugin on your blog, so all your posts are ready in your CoSchedule drag-and-drop editorial calendar. Then link up your social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, Google +, and LinkedIn.
You can schedule social media posts from your blog calendar or create new social media posts that aren’t linked to a blog post. CoSchedule makes it easy to share anything on social – blog posts or simple interaction.
I sometimes forget to engage with my audience other than just sharing my blog posts. It’s convenient to be able to schedule out questions or tips when I think about it or to sit down and schedule out my social media interaction during a brainstorming session instead of going back to add them later. Another way to save time!
There is also a super cool stats page lets me see what posts are doing well. If I take the time the share a post on social media, it’s helpful to see which posts are doing the best.
