In order to keep a good overview of all tasks, time management is essential to influencers. Additionally, keeping up on trends and competition are important in managing and planning your content.

Preparation

-Time management (Use calendar to plan content creation (It helps if you make a plan when you will create and when you will upload it)

-Use Instagram drafts (If you have time pre-create content so in busy times you can just upload things that you have saved as a draft before)

-You can use 3rd party applications to plan and time your posts

→For example: Plann, Postcron, Sprout Social, Sked Social, Buffer, Later, Tailwind, Hootsuite
