How to Post Regularly on Social Media

Social Media is intimidating.

Many people fear their Twitter account, because it seems like you have to be online all the time.

You don’t.

You can still maintain a constant social media presence by scheduling your posts in advance.

When you are working at optimum efficiency, you are batching your tasks in groups. Using a few technical tools, you can batch all of your social media into one block of time.

I am on twitter twice a week.

[Correction: I am on Tweet Deck twice a week.] I spend a full hour scouring the posts of those that I follow, and scheduling my responses, replies, and retweets for the next 3-4 days.

This allows my Twitter account to continually put out regular content without my presence at the computer.

Here’s how:

Download Tweet Deck, Hoot Suite, or another Twitter client
Sign in with your social media accounts (Tweet Deck lets you use Twitter, Facebook profiles and Facebook pages, Myspace, LinkedIn, and Buzz)
BONUS TIP! If you have multiple Twitter accounts of Facebook pages, you can use this ONE dashboard to manage them all
Type in a status update
Next to the ‘Send’ button is a picture of a stopwatch.

Click the stopwatch, and select the time and date you want this post to go live.

Select the account(s) you want the update to go out under.

Click Send!

By batching your social media updates, you can spend focused time on your content marketing once every few days. This allows you to maintain a constant presence on your social media platforms, without taking up all of your time!
