Have you guys heard of CoSchedule? OMYCOW! This social media editorial calendar is the most useful tool I’ve ever had as a blogger. I was using another editorial calendar but man, it does NOT even compare to what this puppy can do. Thank you Trisha for sharing this bit of awesomeness that will help simplify my job!
First off, you can use this in your blog dashboard, or stand alone at the CoSchedule website. HELLLOOOO!! Already coolness y’all. It’s so easy to use. You’ll first need to connect all your social media networks. It takes not time to do. With Pinterest, you’ll have to connect each board you think you’ll be scheduling too. Again, that takes all of 30 seconds. Then you’ll add your blog and viola, everything is connected. You’ll be able to use it there or head to your blog dashboard and use it from there, if you prefer. Once inside, you’ll be able to schedule posts quickly and in a visual manner, which I love! I want to know how it’s gonna look before it’s posted so that was important to me. Within a blog post, you’ll find a drop down menu like this:
You’ll click on ‘Create Your First Message’ and there will be a list of social networks you are connected to, to the left. You click which one you want and then you’ll visually see your social media post begin to form.
What’s super cool, is you can pick ANY day, ANY time you want it to post. You’ll be able to do this for any of them so you literally could schedule social media posts a month ahead if you wanted! SWEEEET! Another cool factor is that you can literally drag and drop so if a client needs you to change the date of a social media post and you already had it scheduled, you simply drag it to that day. teehee. {{in love}} And guess what bloggers???!!!! You can additional blogs! OH YEAH! You’ll be able to use color coding to distinguish what’s what on the calendar and you’ll be able to navigate the blog you want on the left hand side. Holy cow….I want to squeeeee. Seriously y’all.
Sometimes pictures just can’t do justice so I encourage you watch the video.

If that’s not enough, CoSchedule has a pretty amazing referral program that I just love. Once you see how awesome it is, it’s totally gonna help you save some money by spreading the word. You’ll get to try it free and then after that, it’s $10 a month or if you pay annually, you’ll save $20. For each referral that signs up using your link, you’ll receive a discount of 10%. As long as they keep their subscription, you’ll get your discount. And guess what? There’s more. If you find that you love it, and I promise you will, you can write a review like I’m doing now and receive 50% off your subscription for the entire year. WOOHOO!!
