Oftentimes, we here at Eight Acorns Consulting create and schedule social media content for our clients. It is one of our foundational programs and makes things much easier on our clients. Our clients love the fact that they can sit back and relax, knowing that their social media is taken care of. And most find it well worth the investment.
However, we know that for some clients, funds may be tight and they don’t have the extra funds to outsource their social media. In this case, Eight Acorns Consulting recommends using Publer to schedule your social media posts. It’s the company we use, and we LOVE them.
They have a great built in calendar, so you can easily see all your posts at once, make sure there are no holes in your posts, and easily see which social media platform has been scheduled.
You can easily view your calendar by All Posts, Scheduled, Posted, or Failed. If you are trying to find a specific post, the search bar makes it easy to find exactly what you are looking for.
And did we mention that Publer integrates directly with Canva? We love this feature. It allows you to design in Canva and export your graphics directly to Publer. From there, you can easily schedule your posts. Smooth like butter. After linking them up just head over to Publer, click Media Library and choose Canva.
If you are struggling for some ideas, Publer has a built in content area. You can search for ideas by keyword, location, and/or type (general, business, technology, etc.). This makes it easy to drum up some ideas that are both EASY and current – perfect if your industry needs to be up on the news with its posts.
You can share directly from the Content tab by simply clicking the share button. News made easy. If you need more curated content, you can add your RSS feeds directly into Publer, as well. Basically, you can easily set Publer up to be a one-stop shop for your business news and content creation.
Publer is affordable (there is a free plan, which is a great way to take Publer for a test drive before you commit to spending money) and can easily be scaled to fit your business. If you have more than one social media platform that you regularly use, or even more than one business, you will love the ease of Publer.
You can easily connect multiple social media accounts across multiple platforms. If you have found that you have outgrown your current plan, Publer makes it easy to upgrade. You simply choose the number of additional social media accounts and/or users and Publer adjusts your monthly plan.
Publer is affordable to begin with, but they offer generous discounts for upfront payments. And you don’t even have to spring for a full year (although it does give a great 20% discount). You can choose to pay the standard monthly fee, or pay upfront for 3 months (15% off) or 6 months (17% off) if you aren’t ready to pay for a full year upfront. So, if you aren’t in the position yet to outsource your social media, you can still make the job easier.
