Don’t you wish there was an easier way to plan out all of your Instagram content? THERE IS! Let me share with you how to design, plan and post all of your Instagram content using ONE APP! I’m talking about your posts, videos, reels, stories, all of it. The app I am talking about is Preview.
One of the important pieces of personal branding is to make sure your content is consistent. So all the fonts, the colors, the look, that kind of thing. It really makes a difference in how you’re standing out and leveling up your social presence. Preview allows you to have all your favorite fonts and colors in one place, so you can create all the things you need with consistency.
Another thing I like is that there are hashtag groups you can add. I have all of these different hashtags already figured out. So whenever I have a post that is around social business or building an avatar, I can just click and copy those hashtags. There is also a calendar to show you what you have planned out, and analytics for you to see how your account is doing.
The main thing is choosing whatever suits your feed. You can pull from your library to add media, create a carousel, repost content, or split images. Have you ever seen where someone takes an image, splits it up, and then they have multiple Instagram posts to make up that one image? That’s what that is.
When making a post, you add your content from your library to the app. You can add filters, edit the content how you want, and add your captions. When your posts are ready to go, there is a share button to post to Instagram. You can schedule your content to publish, or you can go ahead and manually post it. I prefer to post manually because when we schedule and walk away, we often forget to post, and we’re not engaging with the post.
By clicking the edit button, this is where you will write your caption, add your hashtags, and post your content. A fun thing about this app is, if you struggle with writing out your captions, it gives you caption starters. There are popular sayings and engaging ones to get comments so your followers can get involved. As you go along, it will get a lot easier and probably roll right off the tongue. However, you can use their prompts to find captions and hashtags. They have tons of themed hashtags to find what you are looking for.
For me personally, I like to look at the overall kind of aesthetics for how my feed will look. I ask myself, “Is there too much work, too many fonts, too many words, etc.” I see that a lot when I do audits. Is there enough of me in it and where is it different? You don’t want to hold your phone up and take a selfie, the next day, you take a selfie, and the next day you take a selfie. You need variation in your posts. Take pictures with your kids, be holding a book, or have a cup of coffee in your hand. You have to change it up a little bit, because if you’re just doing the same thing over and over again, you’re going to lose people’s interest.
We can’t forget about the reels, videos, and stories you can plan through there too. The Preview app is your one-stop shop for everything you need.
