We are going to discuss this in this blog today.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A content creator or a business marketer knows that regular posts and story updates are mandatory. If you fail to do so, you will fail to get the optimal reach and engagement on your profile as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As indicated by Instagram, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/business.instagram.com\/a\/create-stories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"no-follow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one-third of the total story views<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are from the business profiles. Thus, it explains the importance of regular updates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To update your posts and stories regularly, you would need to schedule them. Otherwise, it can be too hectic for you to handle. Also, scheduling your posts and stories increases engagement and drives traffic to your profile as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to social media management tools like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/socialbu.com\/auth\/register\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SocialBu<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, scheduling posts and stories is no longer a problem.

Life is hectic, and sometimes you can miss posting your new story or feed post. If it happens consistently, then your audience might lose interest in you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is better to schedule your posts and stories. Whenever you feel creative, sit aside and plan all the posts and stories for the upcoming week. Then schedule them to their respective time and dates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It will save you a lot of time and extra effort that you can utilize on other important things that you being a busy person.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedule Your IG Posts and Stories with SocialBu\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SocialBu is a social media management and automation tool that lets you <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/socialbu.com\/schedule-posts\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">schedule your posts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/socialbu.com\/schedule-stories\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stories<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Create a Beautiful Profile Aesthetic\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hear it often that \u201cFirst Impression is the Last Impression.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether the famous proverb is credible or not, the majority of the people still follow it. We are trying to imply here that when someone visits your profile for the first time, this is your chance to impress them with your visuals. Just like the profile shown below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3643\" src=\"https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fILE-05-13-b.jpg\" alt=\"Create Aesthetic Profile \" width=\"346\" height=\"622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fILE-05-13-b.jpg 495w, https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fILE-05-13-b-167x300.jpg 167w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 346px) 100vw, 346px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scheduling your posts ahead of time allows you to create a uniform and beautiful profile aesthetic. The reason is that you plan all your posts when you are feeling creative and dedicated. At that time, you try to portray your brand with your full potential. It later reflects on your feed view.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you schedule your posts with a tool like SocialBu, you can have a preview of your posts. You can see how they will look after publishing. So, you can change the visuals ahead of time if you find something out of the way.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Publish Your Posts\/Stories at The Right Time\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The engagement level on your profile declines when you fail to maintain consistent updates. Another reason is that you would probably be posting at times when your audience is not active.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is understood that when your audience is not active, they will not encounter your post. However, it can seriously disturb your profile reach as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It would be best if you post at the most optimal times. However, it can also happen that the optimal time to post clashes with your schedule. Therefore, scheduling your posts and stories at that time is the best solution for this problem. You can be busy elsewhere, and your audience will still be getting the regular updates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3644 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fILE-05-03-1024x733.jpg\" alt=\"Schedule Your Posts and Stories on Optimal Times \" width=\"1024\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fILE-05-03-1024x733.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fILE-05-03-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fILE-05-03-768x550.jpg 768w, https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fILE-05-03.jpg 1038w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you post at the optimal times, your audience gets a chance to engage with you. More engagement means more visibility of your profile, and more visibility means more audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To know the best time to post, you can read our blog <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/socialbu.com\/blog\/best-time-to-post-on-instagram\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat is The Best Time to Post on Instagram?<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.

Especially on social media platforms because your audience is the backbone of your online success.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People engage with each other most on Instagram.

Don\u2019t Have to Worry About Creator\u2019s Block.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes it happens that you are facing creator\u2019s block.
