SMM specialist- a very busy person. Write out a content plan, look for new interesting news feeds, create content, set up advertising...
All this takes a lot of time. What if your company is present not only on VKontakte, but on several social networks at once? What if you manage several companies, and the total number of groups reaches a dozen or two? How to manage not only to create, but also to publish all this?
Yes, you can prepare several publications for a couple of days in advance, and use the deferred posts function, which is available in most social networks “by default”. But this won’t save a lot of time - you have to go to every public page, upload a post, edit, look, put it aside... and so on in a circle.

How to choose best option of all those proposed?
Taking into account these recommendations, you can try working in several services. Some will like the interface, for others the priority will be the availability of functionality for analyzing the work done, perhaps the main selection criterion will be the cost of the service.
How many people, so many opinions. The developers have created convenient systems to simplify the work of an SMM manager, and what to choose from this variety is a matter of taste.
Sincerely, Nastya ChekhovaWe've released a new book, Social Media Content Marketing: How to Get Inside Your Followers' Heads and Make Them Fall in Love with Your Brand.
Last summer we decided to relax with our IT friends. Our company has everyone: programmers, copywriters, SEO specialists and even one SMM manager. The latter became the “star” of our holiday - there are still jokes about him. And all because in the most unexpected at the moment, in the most unexpected place he could say: “Wait, I need to upload a post on Instagram!” The whole company froze for 5-10 minutes, after which the rest continued.
Is it possible to somehow alleviate the share of always-working Instagram managers? Are there any functions or services for delayed posting on Instagram and other social networks? How to organize scheduled posting and how to choose a program for auto-posting? We will try to answer all these questions below.
What is delayed posting and what problems does it solve?
Delayed posting is a feature that helps you schedule social media posts in advance. You can schedule posts for one day or schedule posting for certain time. Some social networks have this function built-in (VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Facebook), others do not (Telegram, Twitter, Instagram). If your activity covers several social networks at once, an auto-posting service can become an indispensable assistant.
Why do you need scheduled posting on Instagram and other social networks?
Another important advantage of such services is the ability to schedule publications. As with the content plan, auto-posting helps you stick to the concept of running a blog/page and not rack your brain every day about topics to publish.
Built-in or third-party programs for auto-posting
As already mentioned, the auto-posting function is not present in all social networks. For example, you can organize regular scheduled posting on Instagram for free only with the help of special services– certified partner programs. VKontakte allows you to pre-plan your posting for 10 publications in advance. If you work only with VKontakte, then there is no point in talking about auto-posting. If we are talking about “Insta”, then we cannot do without special services.
Note. Until January of this year, the auto-posting feature on Instagram was not available at all. After updating the API, it became available through the services that we will describe below. The ability to schedule posts on Instagram still does not apply to advertising.
Popular programs for auto-posting on Instagram
Most often, practicing SMM managers already have a working service for delayed posting on Instagram and other networks. But if this is your first time faced with the question of choosing such a program, we suggest you get acquainted with the 5 most popular of them.
We tried to analyze the services from the point of view of benefits for both SMM managers and the audience, evaluating the interface, maximum coverage of social networks, the ability to work with statistics, work with content (photo processing, different content for different social networks, etc.).
Kuku.io
Convenient adaptive (can be used from any device) service with nice design. Allows you to work with 10 social networks simultaneously. A simple post builder that allows you to create different posts for different networks and publish them at different times. There is the possibility of multi-account access and team work. The disadvantages are payment in dollars, relatively little functionality for working with pictures, links and statistics. Free trial period – only 2 weeks.
RePublic
A service that works with only 4 social networks: Instagram, Facebook (+Telegram), VKontakte and Odnoklassniki. Despite this, many managers choose this program for the ability to independently generate content. In addition to posting, you can configure the ability to receive unique posts, promotional posting, and sorting profiles by project.
The free period is only 3 days, but the minimum tariff plan is only 99 rubles per month, for which you will receive 2 GB of content and connection of 1 group.SMMR
The program ensures the creation of publications in 5 networks at once: Vkontakte, Instagram, Odnoklassniki, Facebook and Twitter. In addition to the usual ability to schedule publication times (separate for each post or one for all), there is another important function - a built-in image editor from Adobe. Other useful options include: night mode, creating surveys, combining pages by project/group. The starting cost of a monthly plan is 149 rubles, it includes 190 posts, 5 templates and Emodji support.
SMMbox
A program for auto-posting on Instagram, VKontakte, Odnoklassniki and 5 other popular social networks. Allows you not only to plan and create content, but also to copy it in one click. You can carry out a simple search on social networks, find interesting material and add it to your pages, first uniqueizing it (for example, adding a watermark). There are convenient extensions for different browsers.
SMMPlanner
Simple and convenient program, which allows you to perform basic actions with content. In addition, you can schedule story posts, work with stickers, and add proxies. Do you need scheduled posting on Instagram in Russian for free? SMMPlanner is one of the few similar programs where this is possible on an ongoing basis, since every month you will receive a certain amount free posts.
How to choose a program for scheduled posting on Instagram
There is no clear answer to this question due to the fact that everyone has their own goals when working with social networks. Someone wants to promote their own brand, so the first place for them is the ability to process photos and post posts on Instagram. Someone is trying to reach the maximum number of users, so access to 8-10 social networks and the ability to track comments and other manipulations with statistics are a priority for him.
The programs for auto-posting on Instagram listed in this article are not the only ones available for use. You can always form your own opinion about those that were not mentioned: Hoopy, SMM Aero, Publbox and others. In addition, there are a large number of foreign services that can be accessed by you with minimal knowledge of English.
Working with social networks is an important part of building the integrity of your brand in the eyes of users. According to numerous studies, youth and teenage audiences trust a brand more and tell their friends about it, the more actively it interacts with users on social networks.
It should be noted that the SocialKit auto-posting module, like other modules of this software package, allows you not only to replace the functionality of the official Instagram client, but also to significantly expand it. Especially when it comes to mass work with accounts. The SocialKit module for scheduled posting allows you to save tens of hours of personal time by taking on all the routine work.
A simple but varied image editor in the module was created, rather, not as a replacement for external graphic editors, but as a function for batch uniqueization of images, which is especially important for mass work.
If we are talking about publishing a video, then thanks to the ability to set a custom cover, you can significantly increase the conversion from views, which is not possible in official client Instagram.
Visually, Onlypult is not anything revolutionary, but it looks very nice and harmonious:
13. Crowdfire
Crowdfire is a cross between Gramblr and Autogrammer: a simple interface, no video content or analytics. But, in addition to the web version, Crodfire has mobile application on iOS and Android, as well as a browser extension for Google Chrome. Crowdfire wants to be everywhere.
“For nothing”: from one account you can post publications, in each of which the tag #via @Crowdfire will appear. The black/white list is limited to 50 users, following and unfollowing are also limited.
Magic $10 will add 10,000 places to the black/white list, remove restrictions on subscriptions, and unlock another one available account and add guest access. BUT they will not remove the advertising hashtag. So when choosing a tariff, you should carefully look at the conditions of each of them.
By the way, unlike other planners, Crowdfire decided that placing a button with tariff plans in an accessible and visible area for the user is too simple. That is why you need to register and dance a little with a tambourine, looking in the FAQ section to see the coveted numbers. We pass on this valuable knowledge to you, use it wisely:
For the future: to personally verify the relevance and veracity of the information, as well as change the tariff plan, after registration, click on the blue button at the very bottom on the left side of the screen. She will take you to a secret world price categories. Or go to the desired section through the settings menu - but this does not always work correctly.
Crowdfire helps instantly or specified time post a photo with or without a caption. Video content is currently not available on the service. The developers also talk about the imminent expansion of those available for posting. social networks. Except specified functions, CrowdFire can show the latest subscribers, mutual and non-reciprocal (in both directions) followers - however, it does not provide the possibility of auto- and mass (un)following. All with pens and one person at a time.
14. ScheduGram
ScheduGram provides the user with a standard range of functions for a publication scheduler: delayed posting, posting photos using filters, overlaying text, etc., managing multiple accounts.
- Able to post in:Instagram
- Price: “piece”
SheduGram does not play the game “find ten differences in my tariff plans" Instead, the service offers to pay for each Instagram account, tied to the scheduler. And the monthly price of one account depends on the number of its subscribers. For example, if you have two Instagram accounts with 10,000 and 300,000 followers, then you will need to pay $80 per month to use SheduGram ($30 for the first and $50 for the second).
All accounts have unlimited capabilities: no limits on social network profiles and the number of allowed posts.
SheduGram has one interesting function - “First Comment”. It allows you to put anything into a separate comment that appears at the same time as the post. So, for example, in the caption to the publication you can tell something interesting to your subscribers, and include hashtags and mentions in the first comment from SheduGram. This is an interesting opportunity for those who are truly focused on working with the audience and increasing their involvement in the content.

15. SMMplanner
The Russian-language SMMplanner service supports several social platforms, making it easy to cross-post and manage several accounts at once in one window. Convenient publication labeling, an attractive image editor, and clear navigation will appeal to lovers of simplicity and efficiency. In addition, SMMplanner is only the second member of this list that supports the Russian-language segment.
Number of posts available on free plan in SMMplanner – 50 per month. This is provided that you do not want to like anyone or join anywhere. And the price for liking the service on Facebook and joining their VKontakte group, by the way, is another 50 posts per month for free!

With this feature, you will not need to monitor posts with a limited period: promotions, special offers, temporary, test content, etc. The ability to group publics by project will make it easier to maintain profiles on several social networks at the same time.
16. KUKU.io
The online service for SMM KUKU.io is unfairly ignored by many reviews and lists of tools for scheduled posting. This planner is the third (and last) participant in our parade, which boasts a large number of social networks available for posting, including Russian ones.
In the free “Easy” tariff, publications to all social networks from three linked accounts are unlocked. The number of posts is limited to 50 per month.
The “Not So Easy” tariff for $9.99 per month provides access to the analytics panel, content plan, headings, and also allows you to use such interesting feature like “Like and repost”. Its essence is that with just one button you can like and, if necessary, repost your post on behalf of other accounts.
In the same window, you can decide when to perform actions: instantly, at a specified time, or within a specified time. In the second option, all accounts will like/share the post at the same time, while in the latter case, KUKU.io will automatically distribute actions over a specified period. It is only worth noting that this function not available for Telegram, Odnoklassniki and LinkedIn.
The cost of the team plan depends on the number of guest accesses required and includes all the features from the previous plan plus several serious functions useful for running a business.
Detailed analytics, sorting the feed of posts, tracking the results of advertising campaigns, creating bots and much more will make it much easier for you to manage social networks and save a lot of free time.

Afterword
Well, the list of tools that can help you plan your social media content weeks in advance doesn't end there. However, today's review ends.
Share your thoughts about planners, their functionality and ease of doing business.
Good day, dear guests and readers of my blog. Today I would like to touch on the topic of delayed posting on social media. VKONTAKTE network. Many people ask how to make it so that you can post on VK even when you are not at the computer. In principle, the answer to this question is very simple.
Benefits of Scheduled Posting
Scheduled posting is a very useful thing. Its advantages are obvious - it allows you to schedule the time when a post will be published on your wall or in your group and allows you to schedule the date of posting within a week, which greatly facilitates the work of maintaining groups.
You no longer need to spend your precious time manually adding publications every day; you need to allocate a maximum of an hour of time to download content and launch delayed publications, and within a week the posts will be scattered across the walls of VKontakte groups at the time you set.
How to do this?
It's actually very simple. Naturally, first of all, prepare your texts and pictures. Then we go to our VK page (if you want to make scheduled posts in your group, go to it). And as usual, we write a post, with a picture or a video, or just text (at your discretion). And before publishing, hover the mouse cursor over the word and select the TIMER menu item. You will get a sign with the date and time. We set what date and time you want the post to be published and click the ADD TO QUEUE button.
That's basically all. Now you can configure your posts to be published within a day or even a week without your participation. Preparing posts and setting up takes a maximum of an hour.
