Block out Your Time

I like to check Twitter first thing in the morning. So I group all my Twitter accounts together and do it that way. If you have some task that you can group together, you could do the same thing. Using a block of time, whether it’s 15 minutes or three hours, will make you more efficient. For instance, you could schedule a week’s worth of Facebook posts all at once. See how long that takes and put it right on your calendar. You might like Time Management for the Tired and Frazzled.

Have Daily Topics

If you struggle with what to post, you could always have a daily topic prepared. Think of five things you would like to post and then attach that to a day of the week. There are already people who post certain things on particular days, and you can use already-existing daily topics, such as #MotivationalMonday or #ThrowbackThursday. I’ve always liked #ThankfulThursday myself. You may be able to create on particular to your business.

Outline Several Ideas for Your Blog Posts

While you’re writing an article for your blog, try to think of future topics for yourself. It’s good to always have five at least five. That way, you won’t have an excuse when you’re writing and run out of steam. Just jump to the next topic and continue there for the alloted time.

Connect the Dots

You don’t have to share the same things across all your social media platforms. If you do, you might want to reshare that content using a different image, a different quote, and at a different time. For example, create something on Twitter with a hashtag that you then share on Facebook without a hashtag and using a different image. Put that same content on LinkedIn, but write a bit more. Experiment and have fun with it!

  1. I really need to do something like #ThrowbackThursday more often. I haven’t done that one in a while. It’s good to have those extra blog post ideas ready to go too!

    But I like using tools like Agorapulse to schedule, listen and have easy to read and use reporting. Tools really help me save time today with social meida. Otherwise it can be such a time suck! I’d love to do more walking and sewing with my extra time :)

    • Hi Lisa,

      #ThrowbackThursday is an easy way to post something. People seem more nostalgic now than ever before, don’t you think?

      Agorapulse is a good and useful tool from all I’ve heard. Mostly, I use Hootsuite to schedule and then each platform’s own analytics/reporting.

      Where would you like to walk? And what would you like to sew?

      Thank you for stopping by!
      Carol
