Do you know what is the most important thing while running any social media account? Consistency. However, when you’re responsible for all the things in your company, it might be a bit difficult. On the other hand, if you have a marketing team, they probably want to use their time more efficiently than switching between different platforms, pasting, and publishing posts.
That’s why there’re plenty of tools that will help you with scheduling your posts. You could use Buffer for Instagram or an alternative such as Postfity. I am going to introduce those two tools in this article, so you could choose which one suits your needs more.
Buffer for Instagram – social media scheduling
Social media scheduling helps you dealing with content planning. If you have your posts ready, you can just simply schedule all of them at once. It will take you an hour instead of around 30 minutes of work every day. You won’t even have to open an actual social media platform to schedule your posts. It means the risk that something attracts your attention, and you lose another 2 hours scrolling down the Instagram feed is much lower.
Let’s take a look at what Buffer offers.
On Instagram, you can plan and publish your posts directly. Buffer allows you to schedule both pictures and videos.
You also receive metrics, so you can measure your social media performance in order to know what’s working better for your audience
Buffer pricing
Buffer has got only two plans available, and one of them is free. However, the free one is limited to 3 channels and 10 posts per channel, which means that you won’t be able to use all of the social media it’s offering.
“Essentials” plan starts from 6$ per month per one channel. If you decide to upgrade it with a “Team Pack”, which means that you will be able to work as a team, you will pay 10$ per month per channel. What does it mean? If you want to plan on 5 different accounts, you’ll have to pay 30$ a month.
If you want to collaborate with teammates, you’ll have to add + 12$ per user a month to unlock teamwork, posts drafts, and approval. So, if you look for an alternative to schedule your posts for Instagram – or maybe even more – we got something for you.
