[0:00] here's how many posts the most
[0:01] successful creators and personal brands
[0:04] have on their social media channels this
[0:06] proves that social media Success is Not
[0:09] really about looks or creativity it's
[0:11] about input and consistency but being
[0:14] consistent on social media is extremely
[0:16] hard especially when you have a
[0:18] full-time job or a busy schedule
[0:20] therefore in this video I'm going to
[0:22] share the six-step system that I'm using
[0:24] to plan schedule create and automate my
[0:27] posts to stay consistent for over 2
[0:30] years now and grow my Instagram to over
[0:32] 4 million followers while I was working
[0:34] my 9-to-5 job step one goal setting stop
[0:38] setting unrealistic goals or expecting
[0:40] too much of yourself I've made this
[0:42] mistake so many times before you know
[0:44] that feeling of being super motivated
[0:46] over promising that you're going to wake
[0:48] up at 6:00 a.m. eat healthy go to the
[0:51] gym post a real every day read 10 pages
[0:54] of a book only to fall short after 3
[0:56] days and go back to your old habits the
[0:58] same applies to social media don't
[1:01] overpromise set small realistic goals
[1:03] that you know you can commit to like
[1:05] posting three Re a week once that
[1:08] becomes a part of your routine then you
[1:10] can step it up consistency is key to
[1:12] Instagram success so it's better to post
[1:15] three reels a week for one year then to
[1:17] post seven a week for two weeks and then
[1:20] nothing again because you burn out so be
[1:22] realistic with your goals and choose a
[1:24] weekly number of posts that you know you
[1:26] can commit to longterm step two create
[1:29] some some kind of content calendar
[1:31] whatever software or tool is best for
[1:33] you is totally fine but you need to plan
[1:35] ahead of time and schedule your content
[1:37] early this is the only way that you can
[1:40] save yourself from getting stressed out
[1:42] by your posting deadlines now you don't
[1:44] have to plan months ahead even one or
[1:46] two weeks of buffer can totally do the
[1:48] trick and here's exactly how I do it my
[1:51] goal is to post three reels a week
[1:54] Tuesday Thursday and Sunday you can use
[1:56] notion or a physical calendar or
[1:59] whatever you like I like to keep it all
[2:01] in one place so I use my Google Calendar
[2:03] for everything I schedule what exact re
[2:06] I want to post the upcoming week Tuesday
[2:09] Thursday and Sunday now Sunday is also
[2:12] my Creation Day so having the next
[2:14] week's re set up I know exactly which
[2:16] three reels I need to create this Sunday
[2:19] again I book a slot in my Google
[2:21] Calendar and go all in on creation that
[2:24] day now as you can see I only plan one
[2:27] week ahead cuz it's enough time for me
[2:29] and it keeps my closer to the trends but
[2:31] you can of course plan further ahead to
[2:33] give yourself even more buffer time and
[2:35] peace of mind give it a few tries to
[2:37] find out what time frames work best for
[2:39] you step three preparation and
[2:42] preparation is key I used to just set a
[2:45] creation day but when that day came I'd
[2:47] be all over the place figuring out the
[2:49] location the lighting what to say and
[2:52] what to shoot it took way longer than
[2:54] expected and the content never really
[2:56] turned out as good as I had hoped now I
[2:59] set aside time just for Preparation I
[3:01] create a detailed shot list write down
[3:04] exactly what scenes I want to film where
[3:06] I want to film them and what I need to
[3:08] say basically I draw a box for every
[3:11] scene and write out what's going to
[3:13] happen in each taking that extra time of
[3:15] preparation makes your Creation Day so
[3:17] much smoother and efficient that you
[3:19] actually end up saving time in your week
[3:21] plus the quality of your content
[3:23] massively improves because your reals
[3:25] actually turn out like you've planned
[3:27] them step four is batch creating which
[3:29] is a real Lifesaver and here's how it
[3:31] works remember how I have Sunday as my
[3:34] creation day now instead of creating
[3:36] only one piece of content when shooting
[3:38] anyways I batch three pieces of content
[3:41] that day I already have my camera out
[3:43] I'm ready to go the energy is there so
[3:46] why not make the most of it and create
[3:48] as many of my planned reels as I can
[3:50] having content ready ahead of time will
[3:52] give you a huge sense of relief and take
[3:54] away the pressure of running out of time
[3:56] when you create Under Pressure you might
[3:58] end up with content you're not really
[4:00] happy with or you know could have been
[4:02] better if you just had more time to
[4:04] re-shoot or re-edit it so if you're
[4:06] already out there creating content make
[4:08] the most of your time and batch create
[4:11] step five is content recycling now let's
[4:14] say you had an absolute hell of a busy
[4:16] week you felt sick or you just couldn't
[4:19] finish the Reel you needed to post
[4:21] that's when it's okay to cheat a little
[4:22] bit what you want to do is just take one
[4:25] of your high performing reels change the
[4:27] intro or the text a little bit and give
[4:29] it get another shot especially when
[4:31] you've already posted lots of content
[4:33] not everyone has seen or can remember
[4:35] the older posts anymore this way you're
[4:37] still delivering value because it's a
[4:39] good re and you finish your week strong
[4:41] without breaking the promise you made to
[4:43] yourself about consistently posting
[4:45] however of course this should really
[4:47] stay the exception step six is
[4:49] automating and I'm sorry but this one is
[4:51] ironic do not automate your posts I know
[4:54] there's a lot of software out there that
[4:56] you can just schedule your posts with
[4:58] and it will automatically post for you
[5:00] when the time comes however especially
[5:02] Instagram is very allergic to anything
[5:04] that feels automated or gives them the
[5:06] impression of you not being a real
[5:08] person they want to keep the platform
[5:10] generic and their users human so please
[5:13] don't let anyone tell you to automate
[5:15] and use chat Bots for DM and software
[5:18] for posting what you can do however is
[5:20] to line up your reels in the draft
[5:22] section of Instagram so that when the
[5:24] posting date comes all you have to do is
[5:26] hit publish and that is it so here's the
[5:29] recap
[5:30] set realistic goals that you can commit
[5:32] to and be consistent with longterm
[5:34] create a Content calendar like my Google
[5:36] Calendar to plan your content ahead of
[5:39] time and know when to create what make
[5:41] sure to prepare your Creation Day for
[5:43] maximum efficiency on Creation Day you
[5:46] want to batch create as many content
[5:48] pieces as you can since the camera is
[5:50] already out and the energy is Flowing if
[5:52] ever you do not make it in time it is
[5:54] okay to cheat and recycle your top
[5:56] performing content every once in a while
[5:58] and finally always post manually to make
[6:01] sure Instagram knows you're human now if
[6:04] you want me to be your personal
[6:05] accountability partner to never miss out
[6:07] on your posting schedule anymore let me
