This verse is not limited to your behavioural and day to day life because it also applies to your performance in digital marketing. How would it be if you could PLAN and SET  your next day task one day before and can do other things the next day?You find it quite possible if the present day targets are achieved and you spare out some time to do other chores. But how will you do it with laptops and computers? Don’t be confused. Rannkly will guide you with  each step with an experience of 3 years.

Scheduling posts on instagram may look tedious at first, but if you choose the right platform to do it, it will save your ample amount of time and save your efforts for other jobs. There are few pointers to keep in mind while going for such marketing strategy:

• Must own a business account on platforms like linkedIn, facebook, instagram etc.
• Have accounts on multiple platforms in order to connect them and schedule post together
• Must have unique ideas to share regularly and increase traffic on your sites.

Before learning how to schedule posts on instagram, one must be aware how they can post their website content through graphics and videos on instagram. This will be your code of conduct:-

• You can select any date on which you want to schedule your post, say, 1 april 2022.
• After clicking on this date, your created post will appear to the public on this date only.
• After selecting the date from the calendar, choose the desired photo, video through your desktop, laptop, free images or browse it through google.
• Now you can add an interesting caption for your post to engage the viewers with your ideas and vision.caption is not just a piece of words but it must define the purpose of the organisation with keeping its word post-centric also.
• Links of your website can also be added to increase the traffic through your page handles.
• Now the last thing to do is specify the time at which your post will automatically be published. So even if you schedule a post a few days back then still it can publish without any other command.
• Click on the schedule button and then the post is scheduled for the date and time set by you in the calendar.
  
  2.By compose now

• You have to again start from SOCIAL MEDIA
• Now  click on the option available named- COMPOSE NOW 
• You will see different platforms available at the left hand side of the screen that you have connected while logging into the Rannkly
• Select different platforms where you want to post your content in an amazing visual form.
• You can select free visuals( pictures or videos available at your desktop or laptop
• The pictures can be improvised by using available templates that will make the data aesthetic and professional
• Add a suitable caption for your post by mentioning important tags, hashtags and name of your organisation.
• Added images can be easily filtered, cropped or colored. So, it enables the user to design them in a creative way.
• There is an option available ‘LABELS’ that can be used if you wish to track down your post of a certain organisation, certain timeline or the franchises of the organisation.
•  After creating your post now the user can schedule it for a particular date and time.

Now you can see a major difference why it is more beneficial to create your post through CALENDAR. While working with a calendar, you don’t have to mention the date to which you want to publish your post. But while working with COMPOSE NOW, you need to mention the date also.

So it is upto the user which option is much more suitable for him/her.
