How to set up a social media posting schedule that runs itself

Make a queue: a weekly timetable, such as weekdays at 09:00, in your audience's time zone. Write posts whenever you have them, choose their accounts, and press Add to queue: each one takes the next free time and tells you when it goes out. The queue page and the calendar show what is coming and where the gaps are.

Choosing a date for every post works until there are many posts. A queue takes that job:

• You write when you have time, and it posts when your audience is there.
• No two posts land on the same time. Each time takes one post.
• The rhythm stays steady, even in the week you are away.
• The team adds posts without asking when. The queue already knows.

1. 1

   Open Queues and press New queue.

2. 2

   Give it a Name, such as Tips, and check the Timezone: the one your audience lives in, which can differ from yours.

3. 3

   Under When it posts, start from Weekdays at 09:00; Mon, Wed, Fri at 09:00; or Every day, 09:00 and 18:00.

4. 4

   Adjust the Weekly times day by day: add a time, move it or remove it. Every change can be undone.

Write the post, choose its accounts, and press Add to queue; with several queues, choose which. The post takes the next free time and SPREVA tells you when it goes out. You do not pick the time; for a launch that must go out at an exact minute, schedule that post for its date instead.

From the calendar, turn on Queue slots to see every upcoming time, and click one to start a post for that queue. To fill a queue in one go, a bulk import can send every row to it with Queue for all. How to bulk schedule social media posts.

A queue is not tied to accounts: the post decides where it goes. That makes a few queues useful side by side:

• One per kind of post: tips at 09:00 on weekdays, curated links at 17:00 three times a week.
• One per audience, each in its own time zone, for customers in Lisbon and in São Paulo.
• Two to compare: the same days at two different times, to find which one your audience answers. The best time to post is yours: how to find it with your own numbers.

Start with the rhythm you can keep filled: three times a week beats daily for two weeks and then silence. Each queue shows how many posts are waiting and when the next one goes out; nothing is posted when a queue runs empty, so keep about a week ahead and add times only when the queue stays full.

A queue can change without upsetting what is already planned:

• New times or a new time zone apply to posts you add from then on; posts already scheduled keep the time they have.
• Take a post out of the queue and it is a draft again, to edit or schedule another way.
• Clock changes are handled: 09:00 stays 09:00 in the queue's time zone, summer and winter.

Make one queue with three times a week, add next week's posts, and look at the calendar. Every plan starts with a 7-day trial.
