There are so many aspects of running a small business that can suck up your time and energy and sometimes for very little reward. Many areas of marketing can be like this especially content creation and social media. We sometimes end up spending more time creating content than working within our business and doing the actual activities that we are passionate about.
But creating content doesn’t have to be so stressful!
Scheduling is always your friend! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again! Scheduling social media in advance helps to;

OMG, it’s never-ending!
I love Canva, it’s FREE, easy to use, and filled with so many useful features. However, I really struggle to create my own Instagram posts and reels/stories and therefore don’t post hardly anything on that platform at all, I pretty much spend all my time scrolling not sure what to use or do.
