Why Do you Need a Social Media Posting Scheduler for Your Network Marketing or Online Business?
Because ain’t nobody got time for creating content every single day AND doing everything else on your daily action plan. You also can’t be on every social media platform at once if you’re a one-woman operation…. or can you? You don’t have time to waste! You need to spend your time on income producing, impactful activities that get you more leads, sales, recruits, and ultimately cash money to pay your car note or take your kids on a cool vacation.
Quick Strategy Ideas for How to Use a Post Automation Scheduler
Wouldn’t it be easier to batch your content creation into a time block where you work on it just once a week (or even once a month)?
If you’re anything like me, shiny object syndrome is a real struggle. Something I’ve started doing, which has really helped me to focus better & prioritize my tasks is save my ideas as they pop up and get back to what I’m supposed to be working on. Having a designated space for your ideas not only saves time in the moment, but also gives you an easy list to pull from when you sit down to create new content, so you’re not stuck staring at a blank post wondering what to write about.
I recommend that as new content ideas & inspiration pop into your head, you save them somewhere like Notion, Evernote, Trello, Airtable, or Asana. (I use Asana.) Then schedule a weekly block of time on your calendar to just plow through creating new posts for your evergreen social media posting schedule. When the timer stops, you’re done, whether you finished or not. For more on this, check out this blog post about killing the squirrels.
With the right tool (keep reading), you can set your posts to loop, so if you run out of content, your older content will cycle back through.
You might be questioning if it’s a bad thing to repeat your content. The short answer is no. The new people who are following you didn’t even get a chance to see what you posted 3 months ago… and it could really help them! Plus, only a small percentage of the people who are following you will even see your stuff, so it’s just giving them a fighting chance to check out all of that value you’re dropping.
What’s more important is CONSISTENCY. If you are struggling with posting consistently every day, then you need a post scheduling tool that loops evergreen content for you on auto-pilot.
If you’re just starting out, you may be primarily using your personal profile on Facebook to attract new leads…and that’s fine! It’s actually what I teach in the S.M.A.R.T. P.L.A.N. Guide. But what if you went ahead & created a Facebook page, a group, and maybe even accounts on a few other social media channels? A social media post scheduling tool will allow you to be present in all of those places without having to spend much time there.
Instead of creating new content every day to post to your personal wall, you can just pop over to your business page and share or copy the latest post to your personal wall. That means your daily posting now takes about 60 seconds instead of the 30 minutes it probably takes you right now to come up with an idea & perfect it into a post. Sure, you’ll still make time-sensitive posts in the moment, but think about how much time this strategy can free up from your day!
Enter Ninja Social – My secret ninja hack for being everywhere all the time, when really I’m just riding around catching pokemon with my kids or binging reality TV on Netflix (don’t judge).
Why Ninja Social is the Best Social Media Posting Scheduler
Do you ever wonder how people seem to be popping up in all of your social media platforms all day every day, when some days it’s hard for you to even get motivated to type up one post? It seems like you have to be constantly posting everywhere in order to get even just a few eyeballs on your stuff. Just the idea of all of this is exhausting.
How these rock stars do it is they are not only repurposing content, but also they’re automating (or paying someone to do all of this for them manually, but not everyone has money for that & it’s really not needed for this).
The primary reasons I actually licensed Ninja Social to make it available to you after trying out and researching several other post schedulers are…
- SO much bang for your buck. Ninja Social is half the price of other post looping tools that I looked into and has features I needed but didn’t even know I wanted.
- It can do #allthethings (including write your posts for you).
- Many other schedulers don’t loop evergreen content (or don’t do it based on post category).
- Ninja Social actually tracks conversions into leads & sales and shows you what time to post to optimize for them.
- It’s connected to Pixabay & Pexels, which makes it insanely easy & fast to slap a royalty-free image into your post.
- While this post is about post looping, I should also mention you can manage entire campaigns (giveaways, website popups, viral sharing, collect video testimonials, and more) with Ninja Social.
There are so many more reasons to use Ninja Social, but we don’t have all day. Just grab your free trial and play around with it a little to see if it’s your jam.
It’s time to Ron Popeil your content.
