If you want to maintain an active page, even when you're busy for a few days, there are two methods you can use: scheduling posts by calendar date or queuing posts to automatically go out after a period of inactivity.
Method 1: Scheduling by Calendar Date
If you like planning your posts in advance and want to schedule them for specific days and times, here's how you can do it:
1.) Start a new post by using the plus sign button in the bottom menu on any page of the site.
2.) Create your post with photos, videos, text, or audio.
3.) Click on "Show advanced options."
4.) Select "Schedule Post" and choose the desired date and time for the post to be published on your page.
Method 2: Queuing Posts for Automatic Publishing
The post queue feature is great for those who prefer spontaneous posting but still want to keep their page active even during their absence. Here's how you can use it:
Create a new post as usual, but instead of clicking "Post," click the "Add to Queue" button.
To adjust your queue post frequency, go to the model center in the left-hand navigation menu.
Click on "More" to expand the menu and select "Pending Posts."
On the "Pending Posts" page, click on "Queue."
From there, you can adjust the queue settings to publish posts after a period of post inactivity. The popular option is 1 day.
By utilizing these methods, you can ensure that your fans receive regular content and feel they are getting value from their subscription, even when you're unable to log in frequently.
