Instead of waking up every day trying to figure out what you should post on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or Twitter, plan ahead with the right social media automation tools.

Here are a few ways to avoid burnout and maintain a consistent presence across different social media channels.

CoSchedule

 

A helpful online resource for free social media planning tools, it lets you connect consistently with your audience by creating a 2-3 month editorial calendar which can include marketing around common holidays, central business themes, industry trends, and seasonal events.

Canva

 

A super simple and quick way to create stunning graphics for everything from social media, digital magazines, media kits, advertisements, letters, and more. Did I mention it’s free?

Hootsuite

 

Managing social media marketing can feel overwhelming. Enter, Hootsuite—my sanity saver. With Hootsuite you can plan ahead and schedule your post across your favorite social media accounts (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter).

Planoly

 

Visually plan your Instagram layout and schedule your posts right from your desktop or cell phone with Planoly. But take note, Instagram does not allow auto-posting.

Later is another helpful tool to visually plan your Instagram marketing.

Word Swag

 

Word Swag offers a cool way to create custom text layouts for social media graphics—right from your phone.
