6 Steps to be More Consistent on Social Media

[00:00] here's how many posts the most

[00:01] successful creators and personal brands

[00:04] have on their social media channels this

[00:06] proves that social media Success is Not

[00:09] really about looks or creativity it's

[00:11] about input and consistency but being

[00:14] consistent on social media is extremely

[00:16] hard especially when you have a

[00:18] full-time job or a busy schedule

[00:20] therefore in this video I'm going to

[00:22] share the six-step system that I'm using

[00:24] to plan schedule create and automate my

[00:27] posts to stay consistent for over 2

[00:30] years now and grow my Instagram to over

[00:32] 4 million followers while I was working

[00:34] my 9-to-5 job step one goal setting stop

[00:38] setting unrealistic goals or expecting

[00:40] too much of yourself I've made this

[00:42] mistake so many times before you know

[00:44] that feeling of being super motivated

[00:46] over promising that you're going to wake

[00:48] up at 6:00 a.m. eat healthy go to the

[00:51] gym post a real every day read 10 pages

[00:54] of a book only to fall short after 3

[00:56] days and go back to your old habits the

[00:58] same applies to social media don't

[01:01] overpromise set small realistic goals

[01:03] that you know you can commit to like

[01:05] posting three Re a week once that

[01:08] becomes a part of your routine then you

[01:10] can step it up consistency is key to

[01:12] Instagram success so it's better to post

[01:15] three reels a week for one year then to

[01:17] post seven a week for two weeks and then

[01:20] nothing again because you burn out so be

[01:22] realistic with your goals and choose a

[01:24] weekly number of posts that you know you

[01:26] can commit to longterm step two create

[01:29] some some kind of content calendar

[01:31] whatever software or tool is best for

[01:33] you is totally fine but you need to plan

[01:35] ahead of time and schedule your content

[01:37] early this is the only way that you can

[01:40] save yourself from getting stressed out

[01:42] by your posting deadlines now you don't

[01:44] have to plan months ahead even one or

[01:46] two weeks of buffer can totally do the

[01:48] trick and here's exactly how I do it my

[01:51] goal is to post three reels a week

[01:54] Tuesday Thursday and Sunday you can use

[01:56] notion or a physical calendar or

[01:59] whatever you like I like to keep it all

[02:01] in one place so I use my Google Calendar

[02:03] for everything I schedule what exact re

[02:06] I want to post the upcoming week Tuesday

[02:09] Thursday and Sunday now Sunday is also

[02:12] my Creation Day so having the next

[02:14] week's re set up I know exactly which

[02:16] three reels I need to create this Sunday

[02:19] again I book a slot in my Google

[02:21] Calendar and go all in on creation that

[02:24] day now as you can see I only plan one

[02:27] week ahead cuz it's enough time for me

[02:29] and it keeps my closer to the trends but

[02:31] you can of course plan further ahead to

[02:33] give yourself even more buffer time and

[02:35] peace of mind give it a few tries to

[02:37] find out what time frames work best for

[02:39] you step three preparation and

[02:42] preparation is key I used to just set a

[02:45] creation day but when that day came I'd

[02:47] be all over the place figuring out the

[02:49] location the lighting what to say and

[02:52] what to shoot it took way longer than

[02:54] expected and the content never really

[02:56] turned out as good as I had hoped now I

[02:59] set aside time just for Preparation I

[03:01] create a detailed shot list write down

[03:04] exactly what scenes I want to film where

[03:06] I want to film them and what I need to

[03:08] say basically I draw a box for every

[03:11] scene and write out what's going to

[03:13] happen in each taking that extra time of

[03:15] preparation makes your Creation Day so

[03:17] much smoother and efficient that you

[03:19] actually end up saving time in your week

[03:21] plus the quality of your content

[03:23] massively improves because your reals

[03:25] actually turn out like you've planned

[03:27] them step four is batch creating which

[03:29] is a real Lifesaver and here's how it

[03:31] works remember how I have Sunday as my

[03:34] creation day now instead of creating

[03:36] only one piece of content when shooting

[03:38] anyways I batch three pieces of content

[03:41] that day I already have my camera out

[03:43] I'm ready to go the energy is there so

[03:46] why not make the most of it and create

[03:48] as many of my planned reels as I can

[03:50] having content ready ahead of time will

[03:52] give you a huge sense of relief and take

[03:54] away the pressure of running out of time

[03:56] when you create Under Pressure you might

[03:58] end up with content you're not really

[04:00] happy with or you know could have been

[04:02] better if you just had more time to

[04:04] re-shoot or re-edit it so if you're

[04:06] already out there creating content make

[04:08] the most of your time and batch create

[04:11] step five is content recycling now let's

[04:14] say you had an absolute hell of a busy

[04:16] week you felt sick or you just couldn't

[04:19] finish the Reel you needed to post

[04:21] that's when it's okay to cheat a little

[04:22] bit what you want to do is just take one

[04:25] of your high performing reels change the

[04:27] intro or the text a little bit and give

[04:29] it get another shot especially when

[04:31] you've already posted lots of content

[04:33] not everyone has seen or can remember

[04:35] the older posts anymore this way you're

[04:37] still delivering value because it's a

[04:39] good re and you finish your week strong

[04:41] without breaking the promise you made to

[04:43] yourself about consistently posting

[04:45] however of course this should really

[04:47] stay the exception step six is

[04:49] automating and I'm sorry but this one is

[04:51] ironic do not automate your posts I know

[04:54] there's a lot of software out there that

[04:56] you can just schedule your posts with

[04:58] and it will automatically post for you

[05:00] when the time comes however especially

[05:02] Instagram is very allergic to anything

[05:04] that feels automated or gives them the

[05:06] impression of you not being a real

[05:08] person they want to keep the platform

[05:10] generic and their users human so please

[05:13] don't let anyone tell you to automate

[05:15] and use chat Bots for DM and software

[05:18] for posting what you can do however is

[05:20] to line up your reels in the draft

[05:22] section of Instagram so that when the

[05:24] posting date comes all you have to do is

[05:26] hit publish and that is it so here's the

[05:29] recap

[05:30] set realistic goals that you can commit

[05:32] to and be consistent with longterm

[05:34] create a Content calendar like my Google

[05:36] Calendar to plan your content ahead of

[05:39] time and know when to create what make

[05:41] sure to prepare your Creation Day for

[05:43] maximum efficiency on Creation Day you

[05:46] want to batch create as many content

[05:48] pieces as you can since the camera is

[05:50] already out and the energy is Flowing if

[05:52] ever you do not make it in time it is

[05:54] okay to cheat and recycle your top

[05:56] performing content every once in a while

[05:58] and finally always post manually to make

[06:01] sure Instagram knows you're human now if

[06:04] you want me to be your personal

[06:05] accountability partner to never miss out

[06:07] on your posting schedule anymore let me
