Hey fellow creators, James here. I hope you’re doing well.
I won’t keep you long this week, but I wanted to reiterate something that I mentioned in a previous piece:
You CAN schedule Instagram posts.
Mind blown? Mine was. I’ve been deep in this DIY promo game for years now and I never knew you could schedule IG posts.
Here’s how:
1. Go to your Facebook Creator Studio (if you don’t know what that is, just do a search on how to start a Creator Studio account.)
2. Click on the Instagram icon in the top navigation bar.
3. Click “Create Post” in the top left of your Instagram Creator Studio dashboard.
4. Choose IG Feed or IGTV from the resulting dropdown menu and create your post content.
5. Click the box under “Post to Facebook” to automatically post what you just uploaded to Facebook at the same time.
6. Click the arrow next to the work “Publish” and choose “Schedule". You are now scheduling when you want this content to post on Facebook.
7. Next, click the down arrow next to “Publish” in the bottom right and select “Schedule” when you want the content to post on Instagram.
And you’re done! It’s that easy!
Use this feature to batch schedule all your Facebook and Instagram content in one sitting so you can spend your time actually being an artist.
Feel free to email me if you have any question. Happy creating!
// James
