SETTING UP YOUR POSTING SCHEDULE
The best and easiest way to ensure that your posts will be AUTOMATICALLY posted from Emphatic is to set up a consistent posting schedule. You can do this by going to 'Settings' and then 'Post Schedule' in your account.
From there you can choose which timezone you want to post in, as well as the days of the week you want to be posting on. When a day is highlighted green, that means it is selected. If you want to remove a specific day from your schedule, all you have to do is click on it!
Then you can set up different posting rules for each platform by clicking on the individual Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter boxes. You can post whenever you want, but just be sure that you aren't posting too much. For example, if you allocated 15 credits per month to LinkedIn, but are posting 5 times per week, you'll likely run out of posts before the end of the month.
