- Pre-plan as many posts as your schedule allows – draft captions ahead of time so you only need to design graphics or hit “publish”.
- Schedule evergreen content to auto-post during slower weeks. This curated content still offers value for your audience.
- Create a few easy-to-replicate post templates to quickly reuse on multiple platforms.
- Repurpose old content! Revamp an outdated blog post or refresh past social graphics.
- Set reminders to go live or engage daily. Don’t let pre-planning stop real connections!
The new year is all about starting fresh. Spend December setting yourself up for social media success in the new year!
