I searched Google for this and everything that came up was useless non-answers.
It takes me almost an entire workday to publish a week's worth of social media posts. I feel like this is really slow. Does anybody else have an experience to share? How long does it take you?
More detail on my process...
One week's worth of social media posts equals:
Here's what I do:
Every time I do this, I feel like I should be able to just fly through it, just crank it out. But every time, I end up getting bogged down somewhere.
Typically, where I get bogged down is silly little questions like...
I don't know why this is, but I sense that I need a better system.
Or is this just par for the course in posting to social media?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

More detail on my process...
One week's worth of social media posts equals:
- One post per day on instagram with image + caption + hashtags
- One post per day on facebook with the same image, same captions, and a link instead of hashtags.
Here's what I do:
- Grab an image from the pool of images designated for social media (preparing the images is not my task, so this is not part of what consumes my time).
- Write a caption.
- Research and insert relevant hashtags.
- Research a good time of day based on when the greatest number of my followers are online on that day of the week.
- Schedule the post using either Facebook Creator Studio or Later.
- Repeat.
Every time I do this, I feel like I should be able to just fly through it, just crank it out. But every time, I end up getting bogged down somewhere.
Typically, where I get bogged down is silly little questions like...
- OK, what was the image I used on Tuesday? Now what would fit nicely after that on Wednesday?
- Wait a minute, which posts did I put on Instagram, and at what times? Now I need to coordinate that with the same posts at the same time on Facebook.
- Hold on, am I getting a good balance of our different post types in here?
I don't know why this is, but I sense that I need a better system.
Or is this just par for the course in posting to social media?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
