Once a system of automation is created for distribution of content, you automatically cut down the time you spend on maintaining your social media. What is more – if your content is in place, you can schedule your content weeks in advance and at a variety of time-range that can extend beyond business hours. This leaves you with more time for content creation, as most of your social media is already running on schedule while you are working on creation.
