There are two online tools that I use to schedule my Instagram images that DO NOT HAVE push notifications.
You set it and forget it.
As it should be.
The first is <strong>Grum</strong>.
With Grum you can schedule your images days, if not weeks, in advance.
You can add in the first comment to your post. And for most people, that's where they put their 30 hashtags.
And yes, you can upload images and video.
Also, it's real simple to use and navigate.
The second, and my go to, is <strong>Iconosquare</strong>.
With Iconosquare you can schedule your images days, if not weeks, in advance.
You can preview what it's going to look like (aka your grid layout) before it goes live.
You can upload images and video.
You can easily reply to comments on your IG posts, from Iconosquare, on your Mac (I type so much faster on my Mac than my phone, so that was REALLY helpful)
But the BEST THING about Iconosquare is that you can look at your Instagram analytics from that platform as well.
So, it will tell you:
- which hashtags are working best
- the best times to post (when you get the most engagement from your audience)
- if video or pictures are doing better
- the age and sex of your demographic
- if you're losing or gaining followers
And a lot more information that will make you REAL SMART about how you approach building your brand/audience on Instagram.
With this information, you develop a strategy, you can plan content ahead of time, and again - you just play the game smarter than your counterparts.
With both of these platform options you pay, I believe, around $10/month for each.
Good luck!😉
You can use latergram.me (works just like hootsuite, you schedule a post and then you need to use your phone to post it).
If you just want to set and then forget about it, you can use either http://grum.co or http://onlypult.com. However, I am not completely sure, but I think that these services break Instagram's ToS. Another (more expensive) solution would be http://schedugr.am because they mention the fact that they are using real physical phones.
Hope it helps!
