Hello to everyone. Welcome to this video. In this one, I'm going to talk about how to schedule and what tools to use to schedule your Instagram content. So let's jump right into it. And the first application I'm going to show you is buffer. So you go to buffer.com.

I'm already signed in, you can connect your Instagram, your Twitter, your Facebook, and then you can schedule up to 10 posts on the free plan. So if you don't want to pay, so I want to tell you that all of these scheduling tools, they have some free versions and they have paid versions. Now, buffer has a free version, you can connect, I think five accounts so you can connect Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and you can connect to another Facebook page or a Google Plus account or LinkedIn. So I think there are five. Now we are interested in the Instagram. So this is how it looks after you connect it.

You can do your posts here the caption, you upload your photo or video, then just hit add to the queue and you can do the schedule under this tab. So basically if you want to post two times per day you're going to take out these and put in the hours you want to post every day or you can do it for each and every day on different times. So it really depends on you. It's great you can choose here the city where the time is own. It will show some analytics actually let me see if I did schedule with this one. So this one is free.

It's really cool. You can start out with this. The upside also for this is they have it iOS and Android applications do so if you do your content on phone with the apps I showed you before in the videos, then you can schedule them right from your phone. With the application, you don't have to go to a desktop. Or if you do it on desktop, you can schedule it from desktop and share it via phone. Now this one is the first one.

The next one is hood suit. And here are the plans. So basically, you have a free plan. For individuals, you can connect up to three social profiles. So you can connect Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, or two, three Facebook accounts or three Instagram accounts, and so on. You can do the scheduling, it's free, and it works in the same way they have application for iOS and Android.

So you can do schedule from The phone as well. Now if you want to move up here dependent plans, you can see it right here. Another tool I would I try then I would recommend but I didn't really like it it's later. I think the first name of this application was later Graham. Here are the plans so you have a free for individuals forever free. You can use one social profile platform so you can use one Instagram account on Facebook and so on.

You can do up to 30 posts per month. So buffer and Hootsuite I think also lets you do I don't know. I think Hootsuite is unlimited. I don't know but with Hootsuite for sure you can do a lot. You can do at least 30 posts as well. With buffer you can do 10 with later as you can see you can do Up to 30 posts on Instagram 50 on Twitter, 30 on Facebook and 30 on Pinterest.

The only problems with all of these three with buffer with Hootsuite and with later is that once you do the scheduling, you have to do have the application on your phone. And when it's time to post, this tool will not post instead of you. So what this okay let's take an example. You plan with buffer Hootsuite or later to post at six in the evening and nine in the evening. Now what these software's do is send you a notification on your phone. You have to open up the application on your phone.

And actually you have to post it manually on your Instagram. So it will copy the captions it will copy the image. Just have to paste it but still you have to post it manually. This text a fair amount of time. And this means you're all have to be connected to the internet all the time. Now, if you're managing more Instagram accounts like I do to personal accounts and three other accounts for other companies, you will have like notifications popping, right you have to be on the internet all the time, and you miss out.

So you're going to miss out some posts or the internet connection is not good, and it will not post and it's really hard to do it. And this is why what I recommend, and this is what I use since last month since February 2017. I use this software called only port. So you go to only pull.com it's only for Instagram. It's specifically for Instagram, which is great. You can connect, it's paid.

So this one is paid. Let me show you the plans. So here are the plans. So you can start out with $12 a month 2039 and 65. Basically, you can connect three accounts, you will have one manager 10 user for tracking, you can schedule posts, and you will have analytics. So this is the plan I use.

So let me show you I have connected the Digital Lifestyle com, the LFC gadgets account and my personal account. What is great about this that you don't have to post manually so you schedule it here. So let me go to posting and let me do a scheduled post. Oops. So these are these are the scheduled posts for 10 of March and 12 March. But the cool thing is you can also do the first comment so let me show you.

I scheduled a few posts for this week. Here there are what is cool that you can add the first comment to so you Do the caption here. You can select the emojis just like in the phone application, you can select, you have here hashtags, you can add the geotech. And you can add the first comment. So I have my own hashtags, which I post in the comments. You will see later when we're talking about grow tax and exposure, why you need to post your hashtags in the comments in the first comment under your post.

So you can do that once you do it only pulled with automatically upload your post. You don't have to deal with it anymore. You don't have to you won't get a notification on your phone. It will post instead of you. So for $12 a month, this is well worth it for me because I can connect three accounts and I do the scheduling ahead of time you can schedule you can schedule on limited. So, you can upload batches of 15 pictures.

So, you upload 15 pictures, it will schedule it for you then you can upload another 15 it was scheduled for the next period so so this is my favorite it also has analytics. You can see it will show you the followers account. How did it change this month growth of total followers here you can see since the first of January, so actually I started using it since January. Okay you have the engagement here also. How many posts how many likes comments? So the insights are really similar to the ones in the Instagram application or Inc 361.

The interactions logs and comments And optimization, which is when your followers are active. So best time to post you can see how many interactions I have at 12am on Mondays 800 and so on. At 12pm. Monday I have like over 1000 interactions, which is great. Here you can see where it active so as the as on the other console the other analytic tools, you can see that after six o'clock, around nine and 12am that's the place where my my father was our active here you have the density also. And the top tags by interaction on the favorite step.

It's really cool. So you can select an account so you put here the account or the hashtag Going to the hash tag may be another motivation and it will show you all the posts that have the motivation tag. And you can repost them right from here. So as you can see this is from this account via islands. You can repost it directly from here so you just click here repost, a repost, you can add your comments, in that you can add your hashtags in the comments to show you if you have more than 30 hashtags. So you can delete one for example like this.

You can add the repost, Mark so if you don't if you want to mention, you will have that watermark or you don't and you choose the publishing time and you hit save. So this is really cool for reposting also. Or maybe put here. I really use it for delivery. Sure. So if I go to Favorite.

And as you can see, I added one user, and this is the official Liverpool Instagram account. So what I do is if I like the picture, I just hit repost. You can add your hashtags, you should have your hashtags in in the notes somewhere. You add the hashtags, you select the day you want to do with the hour you hit OK and say and it will post it so this is really easy. It will make you more productive. It's really worth paying $12 I also in touch with only bought with the company, and maybe if you want a one month trial, hit me up on fritzy at Digital Lifestyle club.

Maybe I can get you one month of free using only port so this Pretty cool, I talked with them and hit me up if you need some help with this, hit me up, I can help you I can get get you maybe free month of this, I will try to do some for for the students who finished this course I will do some giveaways maybe one month or two months have only booked.
