Are you looking to save 100 hours per year by optimizing your Instagram workflow? If that’s a “yes” (how could it not be?), you’ve come to the right place!

Learning how to schedule your Instagram posts is the easiest way to save time and regain your sanity!

But there is an art to everything, and scheduling for Instagram is no exception.

Mastering Instagram With Scheduling

You’ve definitely heard it before—consistency is key! And when it comes to Instagram, scheduling your posts and choosing the best tool is the fastest way to success. But how do you go about choosing the best tool?

With so many items on the perfect-post checklist, it’s difficult for even the most seasoned of Instagrammers to implement every optimization tactic. Hashtags, location, product and user tags, optimal posting times and more! It can be overwhelming. But with the right scheduling tool, achieving a consistent schedule of posts has never been easier.

There are over 5 million businesses interacting with their customers on Instagram, making the visual channel an essential marketing tool for anyone looking for greater reach. And with Instagram boasting the highest engagement rates of any of the major social networks, your efforts are bound to deliver a return on your investment.

Acing your Instagram posting strategy and building an engaged and dedicated audience, however, comes with its own set of headaches and obstacles. Quickly rectified these with the right scheduling tool.

Thanks to Sked (formerly Schedugram)’s robust scheduling tools and tagging capabilities, not only can you save over 100 hours per year when you schedule your Instagram posts, but you can also customize nearly every aspect of your posts ahead of time.

Not only can you schedule Instagram posts of all kinds of high engagement content, including carousels, videos, and Stories, you can also tag locations, users and products—options that are often not available from other Instagram scheduling applications.

Paired with the ability to achieve consistency via scheduling, you’ll be garnering the maximum reach and engagement in no time. All thanks to Sked’s unique features that aren’t available with other scheduling tools.

Why Schedule Your Instagram Posts?
