How to Auto-Post on TikTok Using PLANOLY

It’s no surprise that TikTok continues to dominate the social media space. With over 1 billion users, the app has been downloaded over 210 million times in the United States. Consider this your sign to start posting content on TikTok for your brand or business if you aren’t already. While managing another social channel will inevitably add more work to your plate, PLANOLY is here to simplify your social media workflow as much as possible.

If you’re looking for ways to save time posting TikTok videos, it’s time to start auto-posting your content to TikTok with PLANOLY. Say goodbye to manually posting content, setting alarms on the weekend, and being attached to your phone every moment of the day. With auto-posting through PLANOLY, any TikTok account (business or personal!) can schedule content via PLANOLY and auto-post.

Why Auto-Posting for TikTok Matters

It’s hard to plan all of your content in advance. Trends pop up every day that you may want to hop on right away. However, supplementing this “trending” content with evergreen videos - tutorials, behind-the-scenes, event footage, storytelling about your business & more can be really powerful. It helps you to establish a consistent presence on TikTok and can also be really popular content with the TikTok algorithm. If you’re able to batch-film this content and get it scheduled to auto-post in advance, you’ll have more time to strategically plan other parts of your business or hop on a new video trend.
