Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the time I invest in managing Instagram, time that could be better spent behind the camera. Real-time posting has its benefits, but it often keeps me glued to my phone when I should be out capturing moments. To streamline my workflow and maintain an active online presence without daily interruptions, I’ve decided to schedule my posts in advance.

After exploring various tools, I’ve chosen Metricool for social media management. Metricool allows me to plan and schedule content across multiple platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more, all from a single dashboard. This consolidation means less time juggling apps and more time focusing on my craft. Additionally, Metricool offers analytics to track engagement and performance, providing insights that help refine my content strategy. The mobile app is particularly handy, enabling me to make adjustments on the go without needing to be at my computer.

This shift not only benefits me but also enhances the experience for my clients. Metricool’s collaborative features streamline the post-approval process, allowing clients to review, approve, or request changes in one place, reducing back-and-forth communications.

I’m dedicating an hour each week to plan and schedule upcoming posts, captions, and hashtags. This approach ensures my social media remains active and engaging, freeing up more time for shooting. If you’ve transitioned to scheduled posting, I’d love to hear about your experiences and any tips you might have. Send me an email!
