 Once you start discussing Instagram with the musicians and their managers, they are all perpetually annoyed at the inability to schedule posts. Not being able to plan posts ahead of time and work on it when you have free time instead of during your work day makes it one of the most annoying apps to deal with. But the funny thing is the reason this is annoying is most people don't know Facebook has made an app where you can schedule both Instagram and Facebook posts easily. So in this video, I'm going to give you a few quick pointers on that so that you can get started by making your music promotions much easier by scheduling Instagram posts. Guess what? A music marketing nerd who's teaching musicians how to promote themselves from 0 to 10,000 fans and this is news formation. So first off, shout out to your viewer Shayla M who tipped me off to that Facebook has both a website for desktop and a mobile app called Creator Studio. This is what's going to allow us to schedule the posts. I find this especially helpful since I do a bunch of video editing on desktop and photo retouching. So Instagram has always been especially annoying as I like to leave my phone far from me while I work. Anyway, you can use this app with both your phone or desktop. But for the sake of this tutorial, let's do this on desktop. Also, you can easily use this app to schedule the same posts for Facebook and make your life super easy. So one caveat before I show you this, you do need to enable your account as a business account on Instagram since it seems inevitable that Facebook will pull the switch they did with their platform where they will start charging businesses to reach fans for each post. But once you have done that, all you need to do is select your account and start making a post. Okay, so when you sign into the Creator Studio, you need to first select that you want to Instagram instead of Facebook. So after I do that, I select the account I want to use. So I'm going to go to create a post for the Instagram feed. So the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to add the content so I can get inspired on what to write. Well, yeah, look at that great picture of the in cell hype beast. Okay, so that's posted up but what I'll always add a location. So let's do where I live. Then I'm going to type my caption. I'm going to say with that drip that gets me no play, you know how the in cell be very unbranded for the in cell hype beast. Okay, then we're going to click schedule. And so from there, we can do the schedule of when we're going to post. So I'm going to post this in the future at the time that I've learned from my previous video on Instagram, which you should watch on how to know when to schedule your posts, which I has linked now and in the card. And I will put it in the proper time that my fans are mostly online. And I will schedule it for them. And if you want to look through the content library, you can see all the posts you've made before, then you can recontextualize them and know you can plan just to note you can only do Instagram feed and IGTV posts, which is not fun. And if you want to get them on Facebook, you need to either share from the account. I have it set so that all my posts go to Facebook that come from the account from the main feed because I believe you should do that. But if that's not your strategy, you don't have to do it. And you can do separate posts from here by just clicking on that Facebook icon and getting started here. That's it. And if you have any tips on scheduling Instagram posts, I'd love to hear them in the comments. Thanks for watching. Am I missing anything? Is there any other way you would have done this? I need to know your questions and what no one else is telling you, since I want to answer them. So leave them in the comments, since I answer every comment in every post. I hope you liked this video.
