Oh Instagram, I have a love/hate relationship with you! I LOVE the connections I make with my followers and the sales I have made, but I have a hard time consistently posting! Until now!
I have discovered a FREE direct sales Instagram tool which will make your life so much easier. Planoly, as they put it, is the first visual planner for Instagram. It’s simple, clean, and oh so easy to use. Let’s take a look at how it works!
At first glance, you are greeted by a simplistic design and the option to continue with a free account. A free account includes scheduling for a 30-day period. That is enough for me, as it is great to plan my Instagram account 30 days at a time!
Once you are set up, link your Instagram account and you are ready to start scheduling!
Planoly makes it really easy to see your previous Instagram posts and their stats. And scheduling new posts is really straightforward!
Just click on “Add New Media” and upload your Instagram posts to the queue. Once you click on the post you want to schedule, you can enter a description, up to 30 hashtags, and the option to choose the date and time of the post!
See how simple that is? Once it is scheduled you are good to go! Instagram, as a social media platform, does not allow 3rd-party vendors to post directly to its site. So Planoly reminds you of your post at the time you scheduled and for this, you will need to download their app. Available for Android and iPhone devices!
Planoly, a free direct sales Instagram tool, coupled with CinchShare allows me to schedule posts ahead of time so that I have more time to focus on the nuts and bolts of my direct sales business and my website. I would love to know what things you would be able to do more of if your Instagram was set on auto-pilot! And because I love to keep things simple and straightforward, here is a short video showing you just how easy it is to use Planoly!
