Weekly Queue Schedule

The weekly queue schedule controls when SocialBoost automatically publishes queued posts. Instead of choosing a specific date and time for every post, you can create regular posting slots, add content to the queue, and let SocialBoost send the next queued post at the next available slot.

How the queue works

• You create posting slots, such as Monday at 9:00 AM or Friday at 6:00 PM.
• You add posts to the queue.
• SocialBoost sends the next queued post at the next available queue slot.
• The queue continues publishing in order while there are posts waiting.

When to use the queue

• Evergreen author content.
• Regular reader engagement posts.
• Backlist promotion.
• Quote graphics.
• Reader magnet reminders.
• General visibility posts between launches.

Queue vs scheduled posts

• Use the queue when the exact date is flexible and you simply want regular content to go out.
• Use scheduled posts when the exact date and time matters, such as release day, preorder opening, cover reveal or event reminders.

Editing the Queue Schedule

Editing the queue schedule lets you change the days and times SocialBoost uses when automatically publishing queued posts.

When to edit your queue schedule

• You want to post more often.
• You want to reduce posting frequency.
• Your audience is more active at different times.
• Your launch period needs extra posting slots.
• Your timezone or main reader market changes.

How editing usually works

1. Open the queue schedule area.
2. Review your current weekly posting slots.
3. Add, remove or adjust posting times.
4. Check the timezone.
5. Save your changes.
6. Review queued posts to make sure the new timing makes sense.

Things to know

• Changing queue slots affects future queued posts.
• Posts already scheduled for exact dates may not follow the queue schedule.
• If you remove too many queue slots, content may take longer to publish.
• If you add too many slots, readers may see your content more often than expected.

Moving Posts in the Queue

Queued posts usually publish in order. Moving posts in the queue lets you decide which content should go out sooner and which can wait.

When to move queued posts

• A post has become more urgent.
• A campaign priority has changed.
• You added a launch post that should go before evergreen content.
• A post is no longer timely and should be moved down.
• You want to balance promotional and non-promotional content.

How moving posts usually works

1. Open the queue area.
2. Find the post you want to move.
3. Drag it to a new position or use the available move controls.
4. Review the new order.
5. Save changes if required.

Best practice

• Keep urgent launch posts near the top.
• Mix sales posts with engagement content.
• Move outdated posts down or remove them.
• Check the first few upcoming posts regularly.

Bulk Editing Scheduled Posts

Bulk editing helps you update multiple scheduled posts more quickly. This is useful when campaign details change, such as a link, date, price, image or hashtag set.

When bulk editing helps

• A preorder link changes.
• A sale price changes.
• You need to update hashtags across several posts.
• You need to move a campaign to a different week.
• You need to pause or adjust multiple posts at once.

Before bulk editing

• Check exactly which posts will be affected.
• Make sure you are editing the correct campaign or date range.
• Confirm the new information is final.
• Preview posts after editing where possible.

Things to know

• Bulk changes can save time but may also create mistakes quickly.
• Review a sample of edited posts before assuming all are correct.
• Bulk editing scheduled posts may not affect sent posts.
• Platform-specific customizations may need to be checked individually.

Managing Drafts

Drafts are posts that have been started but not yet published, scheduled or added to the queue. They are useful when you want to prepare content before final details are ready.

When to use drafts

• You are waiting for final cover art.
• You need approval before scheduling.
• You are preparing launch content early.
• You want to save caption ideas.
• You need to return to a post later.

How to manage drafts

1. Open the drafts area.
2. Review saved draft posts.
3. Edit any missing content, links or media.
4. Choose whether to publish, schedule or queue the draft.
5. Delete drafts you no longer need.

Things to know

• Drafts do not publish until you take action.
• Drafts may contain outdated links or placeholder text.
• Review all draft content before sending it to the queue or calendar.
• Use clear draft names for launches and campaigns.

Managing Sent Posts

Sent posts are posts that have already been published. Reviewing them helps you track what went out, confirm campaign activity and reuse successful content later.

Why review sent posts?

• Confirm a post published successfully.
• Check what content has already been used.
• Find posts to reuse or resend.
• Review campaign timing.
• Spot failed or incorrect posts where reported.

Things to check

• Published date and time.
• Selected social profile.
• Caption and media.
• Links and hashtags.
• Post status.
• Engagement or reporting where available.

Things to know

Editing a sent post may need to happen directly on the social platform depending on what the platform allows. SocialBoost can help you review what was sent, but each platform controls some post-editing behavior.

Using the Marketing Calendar

The marketing calendar gives you a visual view of your scheduled and queued content. It helps you see what is planned, spot gaps and avoid posting too much of the same thing in a short period.

What the calendar helps with

• Viewing upcoming posts.
• Checking launch campaigns.
• Spotting content gaps.
• Balancing promo and engagement posts.
• Managing multiple platforms.
• Reviewing scheduled content before it goes live.

How to use the calendar

1. Open the marketing calendar.
2. Choose the view you prefer, such as week or month.
3. Review upcoming posts.
4. Click into posts that need checking.
5. Move or edit posts where supported.
6. Check the calendar before launch weeks and campaigns.

Best practice

• Use the calendar to avoid content overload.
• Check that important launch dates are covered.
• Look for repeated captions or images.
• Make sure each platform has the right format.
• Review posts before they publish, not after.

Resending Previous Posts

Resending previous posts lets you reuse content that worked well or still feels relevant. This is especially useful for evergreen content, backlist promotion and repeated reader reminders.

When to resend a post

• The content is evergreen.
• A previous post performed well.
• You want to promote a backlist book again.
• A reader magnet is still relevant.
• You are filling queue gaps with useful content.

Before resending

• Check that links still work.
• Update prices, dates or availability.
• Change wording if the post feels too repetitive.
• Check whether the image is still current.
• Make sure the timing makes sense.

Things to know

• Do not resend time-sensitive launch posts without updating them.
• Evergreen content is usually safest to reuse.
• Repeated posts should be spaced out.
• Adjust content for the platform and current campaign.
