The pressure to create and promote engaging content for social media can feel overwhelming at times, and not knowing where to start is normal.
You have to coordinate posts between different platforms, respond to comments and messages, and follow feeds of other companies and influencers.
The social media calendar is an essential planning tool to simplify the task of managing posts on different platforms.

It can also help you note upcoming events or marketing campaigns you will want to make mention of on social media.
