As I am close to building my dream of a digital marketing space, it is exciting to be almost there with finalizing my work process finally!
As a social media manager/marketer, I am always in tune to the latest.
Am I quick to use it myself? No, not exactly.
I have always been that way. It took about three people to tell me about Facebook before I finally joined it in 2007.
I heard all the buzz about Twitter, but it took my favorite male singer, Usher to convince me to join it as, initially a place where I can share all things music.
Instagram too. I don’t know what I was waiting for as I am a photographer. The same thing happened with CoSchedule.
By the time a client contacted me to give me update saying they are switching to CoSchedule, a light bulb went off in my head “I think it’s time I check it out.”
I haven’t turned back since!
Not long after that, I had the opportunity to complete a free course where I received another certification, this time in marketing strategy with CoSchedule. So here goes my likes and dislikes:
CoSchedule from Garrett Moon on Vimeo.
Pros
I’m a visual person, so one of the best parts is the color coding for each different social media channel, or blog post or content type.
I also love that I can add an idea or thought – something that’s not even official and leave it in draft mode.
It allows me to be super organized – I feel like something is not official if it is not in my CoSchedule calendar
With CoSchedule, I found a solution to scheduling and rescheduling older blog posts without utilizing too much time on social media
There’s more than one way to utilize the filter and organizing features in CoSchedule

I love the headline analyzer – it explains why some of my previous blog posts were not clicked worthy and helped me to get better social media posts into the world
Previously I was utilizing Colornote app or Evernote for my thoughts now it makes it so much easier to have everything all in one.
This year, I started using Google Calendar to plan out my blog posts so that I can realistically achieve my goal of 120 blog posts this year. I previously would only add upcoming events to the calendar. It was not until this year that I started utilizing it for events that I want to happen and blocking off my most productive times of day (aka peak hours).
I can manage multiple social media client calendars (it’s an additional cost but worth it)
It connects with WordPress. I will eventually be hosting a blog on WordPress, so this will be seamless for me to edit, post, and schedule.
Cons:
I can’t view individually detailed analytics without paying an additional fee
I can’t exactly edit my blog posts (grammar check and all) within and send it to my Squarespace site
