How to Batch Content for IG
How to Batch Content for IG
It's all in a days work! But srsly.
Batching content and planning ahead is key to giving yourself balance, peace of mind and a bit of freedom, especially when it comes to working with social media - it has the potential to be a bit all consuming and never ending. Alongside some me-time and work boundaries, it also opens up my headspace for other areas of my business and gives me the energy to support my clients too!
Here is how I plan a full month of content in just one day!
//01
Plan and prepare
This first step may sound really obvious, but sometimes you’ve just got to state it. This is your foundation. Getting it all laid in front of you really helps when it comes to execution, creating a strong strategy and making sure your content flows nicely. I use a specific content planner to plan out all my ideas for posts, stories & Reels! You can also make one that works for you!
//02
Get on the graphics
I head to Canva where I prep all my graphics! This is also where I would get together any photos I want to use! Visual continuity is super important and effective in honing in on your brand. This is where you can really put your stamp on your content and visually make it YOURS.
//03
Set a schedule
You do not have to hit the post button every time you post. You don’t even need to be on your phone. Schedule all the posts into Planoly and write out your captions as I do! Done.
//04
Prepare your hashtags
Next, I audit my hashtags to see what’s working and introduce any new ones! Then add them to Planoly. Using the right hashtags really boosts engagement and gets your content to the people who are looking for it. Doing a little research and taking the time to audit of your hashtags will help you build a strong bank of them that work specifically for you.
//05
Film your reels!
I really try to film all of Reels for the month in one day. This way they are all done and ready to go, rather than trying to fit making one or two in a week in, lets face it, what would be a rush.
I also love getting into that Reel headspace and hopefully have a little fun along the way!
And there you have it - my break down for batching IG content. Give it a go next month and let me know how this changed your work
