SmarterQueue for Authors

 

Here are my thoughts on how to use the app to help your author platform easier to manage.

First of all, social media, right? Some authors are champions—mastering those apps and making the rest of us look like amateurs. Other writers do a minimal amount of social media and have amazing profits. I don’t know what the balance is. I’m not a marketer. And from my sales, I need to take more classes on the subject. Anyway…

SmarterQueue can make social media tasks more organized. It will probably still take you the same amount of time to create, manage, and refine your materials. With SmarterQueue, the posting and analytics will solidify your time on the task and show results ease.

With the app, you can sit down for an allotted time and plan out a week’s worth of social media. You can create, tweak, and schedule, then move on. The app will not only post for you but keep track of your likes/shares/retweets/etc., freeing you to complete other tasks. Many organizing gurus suggest this method for your social media. Create in one go, and schedule posts, giving you time for other things. With this app, you’ll only need to check in one spot to see how things are working. And you can edit on the fly, if, say, a war starts, and you want to remove a post that might be insensitive.

The scheduler can show authors what kind of material they are posting and how the audience is responding. I can see in an instant if I’m spamming readers with “Buy Me” posts. Diversifying content helps to engage our audience. We can also see if we are neglecting one of our titles or we’re over-sharing cat videos. Seeing all the content in one spot with data to back up your posts quantifies your social media platform’s performance. With this information, we can stop doing things that steal time from writing.

Enough of that soapbox…

SmarterQueue also has great help in two areas. One, they have a Find Content option. If you’re stuck or are unsure of what to post, this is the option for you! You can search hashtags, mentions of your handle from Twitter, reshare your best posts, find others’ blogs and content to share. Using this option will diversify your posts and add great new content.

Two, the app has fantastic help. Not only do they have a starter guide to get your orientated, but they also email every day for the trial period. Each message contains great tips to assist you in maximizing the impact of the app. Speaking of email, they also send a weekly stat update to your analytics, with gentle reminders to post.

Essentially, SmarterQueue will help you save time on social media tasks with bulk prep and automatic posting. It will analyze your posts, likes, etc., and help you increase your presence and impact. With a two-week free trial and tons of emails and blog posts to help, SmarterQueue will make social media easy.

Thank you to Angela James for suggesting this app.
