My online fitness coaching business, through Beachbody, requires that I use social media... a lot!
It is a network marketing business and social media allows me to reach and meet MORE people than those I know in person.
Because of this, I am posting to my Facebook page religiously each day.
I am also a mother of four energetic boys and I don't always have time to sit down at the computer to post, or check in with my challenge groups, or be on the computer, in general. I have to create my own business hours. Those hours include early mornings and late nights. BUT, there are days when I don't wake up early enough to post the daily challenges in my groups.
>>> Enter PostCron
PostCron.com is the easiest way to schedule content to Facebook and other social media outlets. Since I use Facebook as my main source of connecting to my followers, that is the platform I have connected with PostCron.
Basically, I am able to write out the content for my post, upload a picture, and schedule it to post to my Facebook group, or page, or personal wall, at any time on any given day!!
Genius!!
Talk about a time-saver!!
With the account I have chosen, I can schedule up to TEN posts at one time. If I were to sit down at the computer and schedule those 10 posts, it would maybe take me 20 minutes...tops!
Versus the alternative of waking up at 3:30 each morning to post the daily challenge in my group, go back to bed and wake up at 5:30 to start my day. My goal is to have those daily challenges on the group wall before any of my challengers start their day. Some live on the east coast and their 5:30 am is my 3:30 am. They are up and ready to start the challenge, but if I don't have it posted, they can't get started with their day. Hence, I can schedule these challenges to post at 3:30 in the morning without me having to wake up each morning to do it. :)
I also use PostCron to schedule posts to my personal wall. As I mentioned, I'm a mom of four boys and life gets busy. If I know I'm going to have a busy day, I schedule posts for my personal page, so I stay consistent and so my followers know they can expect great content regularly.
The great thing about PostCron is that it is SUPER user-friendly.
