STANDALONE SOCIAL MESSAGES Quickly create standalone social messages on your calendar for any one-off social promotion. Choose one or multiple social profiles from multiple social networks. Upload images, videos, or add a URL to enhance your message. Add color labels to filter your messages better or use CoSchedule s intelligent Best Time Scheduling feature to help you save time and take the guess work out of scheduling. Best Time Scheduling decides for you what time of the day you should post to get the highest amount of shares which is different for each network and during the different times of the day. It will automatically continue to reevaluate and change Best Time Scheduled posts accordingly, as new messages (custom and Best Time) are added to the calendar. Best Time Scheduling will always choose the most optimal time for each message.
COSCHEDULE CHROME EXTENSION Use the Chrome Extension to quickly curate, create and share content. Instantly pull in blog post headlines to quickly create shareable content. Or customize your copy by highlighting any text, opening the extension, and pulling any line of text into your social message. Eliminate having to copy and paste commands or switching from one tab to another.
BUILD A SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN Add a social campaign to any project to have your entire project and social promotion all in one place. Add any URL to your campaign to promote faster and easier. Use CoSchedule s campaign to build out your social message drip-campaigns. All messages scheduled inside of your content will be connected to the content. When you reschedule your content date, the messages will follow it! Use Social Helpers to create quick tags for your social messages. Social Helpers allow you to add variation and changes to multiple messages by only editing the helper.
WHAT S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CAMPAIGN AND STANDALONE MESSAGE? Standalone social messages are for anytime you need to schedule a quick one-off social message. The CoSchedule team mostly uses the Social Campaign, but standalone social messages will be used when creating a quick quote, image post, or Instagram messages. Social Campaigns are for when you want to promote a certain topic or webpage more than once. CoSchedule personally recommends creating a social campaign for most of your messages, because this way you are able to quickly create multiple messages or promote any certain topic easier. Social Campaign will also keep all of your social messages related to one topic connected and will track the Social Engagement of all connected messages to easily measure how your social messages are performing inside of the specific campaign.
WHAT IS A SOCIAL TEMPLATE Create a perfect social sharing plan, fine tune your messages for maximum engagement. Easily apply your reusable social template to any blog post or piece of content to promote faster and more consistently. Social templates help eliminate the tedious process of manual scheduling.
