Question 4

How to set up a posting schedule

Accepted Answer

Everyone who manages multiple social accounts is aware of the benefits of having a strict posting schedule -- it definitely saves a lot of time! It is all about deciding which types of posts will be shared on any days of the week.

Each social account will have its own posting schedule, but if you wish, you can duplicate that posting schedule so that you use it for the other social accounts too.

Once you set up a posting schedule, you don't have to worry about choosing the time for each post individually, all the posts will simply be added to the posting queue on the next available time slot and be posted accordingly, following the predefined settings.

To set up a posting schedule:

Go to Accounts.
Select the social account for which you want to create a new timeslot.
Select the second option named Posting Schedule.

You can select to the Create a time slot or Autofill the time slots.
A time slot is a detailed plan for your posts. You can fill all the information i.e on Mondays-Link posts; on Tuesdays-Photo posts; etc.
Autofill requires only the times and days. Publer will automatically schedule posts according to the times and days you just chose.

To Create a time slot:

Hover over a day and click on the blue + button.
