It\u2019s not uncommon for social media managers to do everything from influencer relationship management to graphic designing. It\u2019s crucial for them to take back time in their day with tricks to make their duties go faster, and one of the best tricks is to schedule social media content in advance rather than spending time every day putting up posts.<\/p>\n<p>Scheduling content can be a huge time-saver and stress-reliever, giving social media managers and their teams back their time to focus on their many other hats. By creating a calendar of social media posts, you\u2019ll see a complete picture of your upcoming social media presence, helping you craft the image you need and ensuring that you\u2019re optimizing your content toward what your audience wants to see.<\/p>\n<p>You can schedule content on your own, but there is also a litany of programs and platforms designed to help you build out your social media calendar and even publish right through those tools. Let\u2019s dive into how you can schedule content through social media networks and what to use to build your calendar.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Schedule Social Media Content<\/h2>\n<p>Different social media apps have various ways to schedule content. First, let\u2019s start with Instagram. It\u2019s vital to note that if you want to schedule content on Instagram, you first need to have a professional account. You can schedule up to 25 posts at a time, and you can plan for them up to 75 days in advance.<\/p>\n<p>First, open up the Instagram app and tap the plus sign at the bottom to create your post.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-35155 size-medium-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image1-350x757.png\" alt=\"Creation of the Instagram post\" width=\"350\" height=\"757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image1-350x757.png 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image1-139x300.png 139w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image1-473x1024.png 473w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image1-710x1536.png 710w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image1-100x216.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image1-700x1514.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image1.png 924w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then, add a filter or tap the \u201cEdit\u201d button to use more advanced editing techniques, like changing up the contrast or brightness.

Then, tap \u201cSchedule\u201d to put your content into the posting queue.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that not all content is available for scheduling on Instagram. Currently, Instagram does not support posting content with product tagging, collaborations, fundraisers, and sponsored promotions. You also cannot cross-post to Facebook if you\u2019re scheduling your content in advance.<\/p>\n<p>If you were to schedule a post on Facebook, you would also need a professional account. You\u2019ll access your \u201cPlanner,\u201d which functions as a social media calendar, through your Meta Business Suite. TikTok also requires you to have a Creator or Business Account to use their Video Scheduler tool.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter\u2019s scheduling options are more accessible as anyone can use them. When you compose a tweet, there\u2019s a symbol at the bottom with a calendar and clock. Click that button to schedule a date and time for your tweet to go live.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Should You Schedule Social Media Content?<\/h2>\n<p>Scheduling content in advance can be a major boon to your business. According to <a href=\"\/blog\/how-often-to-post-social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our research<\/a>, companies should be posting two to four times per week on Instagram, at least twice a week on TikTok, at least three times per week on Facebook, and at least three times per week on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>If we were to tally up all these recommended posting rates, we would find that you should create at least 10 of your own posts on these social media platforms. However, receiving higher engagement also means engaging yourself. In addition to simply posting, you must monitor your posts, participate in conversations around your brand, and spend time on social doing market research, all of which takes time. When you schedule your posts in advance, you free up time, allowing you to focus on other tasks crucial to social media management.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-35170 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image16-700x465.png\" alt=\"Slide for how often to post on Instagram broken down by industry\" width=\"700\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image16-350x232@2x.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image16-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image16-1024x680.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image16-1536x1020.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image16-100x66.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image16-350x232.png 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image16-1170x777.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image16.png 1999w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image16-700x465@2x.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When many social media managers schedule their content, they create a social media calendar, which allows them to visualize their social presence before posting their content. This calendar helps them stay organized and enables them to see what posts are running and when. Seeing when content is going to be shared ensures that you won\u2019t miss crucial posting opportunities. For instance, if you know that one day is a holiday that ties into your business, you can plan out content for that holiday in advance rather than forgetting about the day and missing the opportunity to post.<\/p>\n<p>Social media planning saves you from the stress of having to rush to create content, as well. A calendar lets you see how many times you\u2019re posting throughout the week so you don\u2019t fall behind your goals. If you didn\u2019t plan out the week or even month in advance, you might end up scrambling to reach your target, resulting in posts that are not optimized for your audience or even missing crucial components, like the right hashtags or location tags.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Optimize Your Social Media Content Scheduling<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Run a social media audit.<\/h3>\n<p>Before you build out your social media calendar, ensure that the content you\u2019re creating is what your audience wants to see. After all, there\u2019s no sense in planning posts that won\u2019t engage your fans. Analyze your overall online presence with a social media audit. This audit will dive into different facets of your social media channels, from your best or worst posts to the hashtags that work best in your market.<\/p>\n<p>Social media analytics tools like Rival IQ can help you accomplish these audits. It\u2019s also worth running audits on some of your top competitors, which can enable you to learn from their strategies and gain a better understanding of what\u2019s working in your market.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-35164 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image10-700x231.png\" alt=\"Engagement by Post types broken down in Rival IQ's social media analytics app\" width=\"700\" height=\"231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image10-350x115@2x.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image10-300x99.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image10-1024x338.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image10-1536x506.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image10-100x33.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image10-350x115.png 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image10-1170x386.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image10.png 1999w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image10-700x231@2x.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For instance, if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drunkelephant.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Drunk Elephant<\/a> were to run a social media audit through Rival IQ, they might learn that their best-performing content is Reels. Although they are currently posting photos almost as often as they are Reels, they might consider incorporating more Reels into their social media calendar and focusing less on still images.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"blog-inline-cta-image light\" >\n  <img src=\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/audit-template-little-book.png>\n  <div class=\"cta-wrapper\"> <p>\n   Ready to conduct your own social media audit?  <\/p><a class=\"x-btn ss-light x-btn-global\" target=\"_blank\" href=\/resources\/download-the-ultimate-social-media-audit-template\/ style=\"\">Download our free template <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3>2. Develop a consistent posting schedule.<\/h3>\n<p>Our research demonstrated that there is an ideal number of times to post per week, as discussed above. However, we\u2019ve also found that the best number of posts per week varies by many factors, including your industry and your audience.<\/p>\n<p>Rival IQ provides helpful insights into how often you\u2019re posting and can show you how often your competitors are posting to give you an idea of the average posting schedule in your industry. According to Drunk Elephant\u2019s analytics, when compared to other top competitors in the skincare industry, the company\u2019s posting frequency is above average.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-35163 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image9-700x155.png\" alt=\"Drunk Elephant's cross channel activity compared against the competitor's average posting activity\" width=\"700\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image9-350x78@2x.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image9-300x67.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image9-1024x227.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image9-1536x341.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image9-100x22.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image9-350x78.png 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image9-1170x260.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image9.png 1999w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image9-700x155@2x.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, Rival IQ\u2019s graph of posting frequency does suggest that Drunk Elephant may want to post more on Twitter to keep up with their competition.<\/p>\n<p>While we don\u2019t have a hard and fast rule as to <a href=\"\/blog\/how-often-to-post-social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how often to post on social media<\/a>, we always suggest establishing a consistent schedule, which is something your social media calendar can help with.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Schedule content for your optimal posting times.<\/h3>\n<p>When is the <a href=\"\/blog\/best-times-to-post-social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best time to share your content<\/a>? When you schedule your posts, you want to make sure that you\u2019re sharing them during times when your audience is likely to see them. According to our research, there are optimal times to post for every industry and every platform.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, a fashion brand on Instagram performs best on weekends, though posting late at night on weekdays can also be beneficial. However, we found something very different for the home decor industry, which did best in terms of engagement rate when they posted in the early morning on weekdays.<\/p>\n<p>Rival IQ can help you find your business\u2019s personal best time to post. In the case of Drunk Elephant, their ideal time to post is around noon PDT, although their competitors are seeing better traction in the early morning.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-35161 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image7-700x90.png\" alt=\"At a glance widget shows you the optimal time for posting on social.\" width=\"700\" height=\"90\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image7-350x45@2x.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image7-300x38.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image7-1024x131.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image7-1536x197.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image7-100x13.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image7-350x45.png 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image7-1170x150.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image7.png 1999w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/social-media-schedule-image7-700x90@2x.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>4.

Even if you run a social media audit before you put together your calendar, you still want to stay on top of what you\u2019re posting, ensuring that you\u2019re ahead of trends and staying competitive in your market. You can always adjust your calendar.<\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;\n&lt;div class=&quot;blog-inline-cta-image &quot;light&quot;&quot; &gt;\n  &lt;img src=&quot;\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/why-benchmark-woman-jumping.png&quot;&gt;\n  &lt;div class=&quot;cta-wrapper&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;\n   &quot;Start  &lt;\/p&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;x-btn ss-light x-btn-global&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;\/signup\/&quot; style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&quot;Get &lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/div&gt;\n&lt;\/div&gt;\n\n&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:513,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;12&quot;:0}\">\n<div class=\"blog-inline-cta-image light\" >\n  <img src=\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/why-benchmark-woman-jumping.png>\n  <div class=\"cta-wrapper\"> <p>\n   Start analyzing your posting activity with Rival IQ.  <\/p><a class=\"x-btn ss-light x-btn-global\" target=\"_blank\" href=\/signup\/ style=\"\">Get my free trial <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>6 Tools to Help You Create Your Social Media Calendar<\/h2>\n<h3>1.
