Brainstorming and executing a digital marketing strategy is unfamiliar territory for many small business owners. Even those who are knowledgeable about social media content strategy and creation might not have the time to dedicate to it. They need time-saving social media tips that they can use every day to increase engagement and see success on their social media profiles.
Don’t worry ,  we’re here to help you tackle your content strategy head-on with the time-saving social media tips you need that you can squeeze into your busy schedule!

Create a content calendar
Take a look at a calendar for the month and think about what you’ll post each week. The calendar doesn’t have to be precise, but it should serve as a tool that holds you accountable. Paper calendars and digital calendars are both very effective, it’s just important to take a look at it every day and make sure you’re on track. If you plan it, you can post it!

Write out the copy for your upcoming posts
Often, the most time-consuming element about creating content is writing captions. You want to be creative, witty and meaningful all at once, but when you’re ready to post, the words just don’t come easily. Use this time-saving social media tip.

Create a photo bank 
You’ll want compelling photos to go along with all of these great captions you’re writing. And, you want to be able to find them quickly. One time-saving social media strategy is to create an easily-accessible, up-to-date photo bank so you can always post a great photo on any given day.

Set alerts
Schedule a reminder on a regular basis that will alert you that it’s time to check your notifications, reviews, and comments. You can do this through your digital calendar or email platform. Make sure it pops up on your desktop or phone so you don’t miss a beat!

Use that window of time wisely
Don’t have any notifications or reviews? Then, use this window of time to follow new people on Twitter and Instagram. Following people is an effective way to get new eyes on your brand and business. When you follow other users, it’s a friendly gesture that says, “I enjoy what you’re sharing, and I hope you follow me back so you can see what I’m sharing too.”
You should also take the time to comment on tweets and Instagram posts from other users. Interact with people in your local area, comment on posts from other businesses you love and engage with any other content that might be relevant to your business. 

Anyone who follows the account you interacted with will see your comment. And, they might just give you a follow, too! If you do this on schedule, you will save yourself time in the long run.
We hope you use these time-saving social media tips to stay on schedule and engage new customers.
