coreILLA - Social Planner - How to post Recurring Social Posts through the Social Planner
Recurring posts provide a streamlined way to create evergreen content across various social platforms, scheduled daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Through a simple process, users can generate quality content using AI, schedule it with flexible time settings, and even edit parent and child posts. Take control of your content strategy by utilizing this feature, but be mindful of platforms like Twitter, which may flag repetitive content.
The recurring posts feature in the Social Planner is designed to help users maintain consistent and automated social media engagement by scheduling evergreen content regularly. Here's a detailed breakdown of how it works:
Flexible Scheduling: Users can set the posts to repeat every day, week, month, or year. They can select specific days of the week, date ranges, and post times according to their preferences.
Content Creation: Users can generate quality content using AI, allowing them to create posts that resonate with their audience quickly.
Editing Options: The feature allows for edits to both parent and child posts. If changes are made to the parent post, they will be replicated in all child (scheduled) posts. Editing a child's post will not impact the parent's post.
Recurring Posts Tab: The parent post is added to the Recurring Posts tab once scheduled. Users can access the edit function to change all recurring posts' time and date ranges.
Scheduled Posts: Individual scheduled posts appear separately, and users can edit each as needed without affecting the others.
Platform Consideration: It's important to be mindful of the policies of specific social platforms. For example, Twitter may flag content as repetitive if the recurring post feature is used excessively.
Long-term Strategy: This feature allows for creating long-term content strategies, helping businesses stay in front of their audience without manually posting content regularly.
Images and Media: Along with the text, users can add images or other media from their library or, through image AI, visually enrich the content.
Monitoring and Management: Users can track and manage all their recurring posts through a simple interface, providing control over their social media content.
The recurring posts feature empowers users to take a proactive and automated approach to social media management, ensuring a steady stream of fresh content without constant manual effort. It offers great flexibility and control, making it a powerful tool in a modern marketer's toolkit.
## # How to create a Recurring Post?
Go to Marketing > Social Planner. Create a new post for social platform on which you would like to create content
Click on Create New Post from the dropdown.
Select the accounts you want to post these on.
Add the media that you want to post.
Click on Post after finalising the entire post.
Click on Schedule Recurring Posts…
ℹ️ On Twitter, this content may be flagged as repetitive when compared to other social media platforms.
Day - The user must choose the date and time of posting on repeat everyday.
Week - Users will have to choose day of the week when they would like to repeat schedule between the date range and post time.
Month - The user will have to choose the date and time of posting on repeat once in a month.
Year -The user will have to choose the date and time of posting on repeat once in the year.
Click on Schedule Post to finalise the post.
Once the recurring post is scheduled, the parent post will be added in Recurring Posts tab with the edit function to change the time and date range. For example, if four posts are scheduled using a recurring post, the parent post will show in recurring post and one post will appear in the scheduled post.
If you change the content on the parent post, it will replicate in the child's scheduled post. If you change child-scheduled post content, it will not impact the parent post.
Important things to note:
Avoid Repetitiveness: Though recurring posts can save time, please ensure content isn't overly repetitive, especially on platforms like Twitter that might flag it as spam. Variation and customization can make each post feel fresh.
Review Regularly: Please review and update recurring posts regularly to ensure relevance, especially if there have been changes to products, offers, or brand messaging.
Consider Audience Engagement: Please note that interaction from followers might differ across various posts. Monitoring and responding to these interactions can provide insight and maintain engagement.
Compliance with Platform Policies: Different social media platforms have different policies regarding recurring and automated posts. Please be aware of and comply with each platform's guidelines to avoid potential issues.
Utilize Rich Media: Images, videos, or GIFs can make recurring posts more engaging. Please consider integrating rich media into the content to grab attention.
Time Zone Considerations: If targeting a global audience, please consider scheduling posts according to the different time zones of your target demographics to maximize reach.
Content Backup: Please ensure a backup of all recurring content. Any technical issues could lead to loss of content, and having a backup will prevent unnecessary work in recreating it.
Monitoring Performance: Please note that analyzing the performance of recurring posts helps understand what resonates with the audience. Regularly monitoring insights can guide future content strategy.
Avoiding Over-Scheduling: While it's tempting to schedule a lot of content in advance, please avoid over-scheduling, as it may lead to a lack of spontaneity and real-time engagement with your audience.
Sensitive Issues and Crisis Management: Please be cautious with recurring posts during sensitive times or crises. Scheduled posts that may be inappropriate during unexpected events must be reviewed and managed accordingly.
Integration with Other Campaigns: If ongoing or planned marketing campaigns exist, please ensure that the recurring posts align with the overall marketing and branding strategies.
Accessibility Considerations: Please include accessible content, such as video captions or alternative text for images, to ensure that all followers, including those with disabilities, can engage with the posts.
Legal and Ethical Considerations: Please be mindful of intellectual property rights, permissions, and other legal considerations when using images, quotes, or other content within recurring posts.
Experiment and Iterate: Recurring posts are a tool, and like any tool, they require experimentation to find the most effective way to use them. Please don't be afraid to try different strategies and iterate based on what you learn.
