Running a Young Living business means your time is precious—and there’s never enough of it, right? The good news? You don’t need endless hours to stay consistent online. With a little focus and a solid plan, you can batch your social media content for an entire month in just one afternoon. Here’s how:
1. Start With a Plan
Grab your favorite notebook (or that planning app you’ve been meaning to use) and jot down ideas. Think about:
- Upcoming holidays or themes (like spring cleaning for Thieves!)
- Your audience’s pain points or questions (like “What’s in NingXia Red?”)
- Personal stories you want to share.
Having a clear roadmap makes everything else flow smoother.
2. Gather Your Props & Tools
Whether it’s your laptop, oils, or diffuser, gather everything you need for a quick photo session. Set up in good natural light, and think about different “scenes” to maximize your time:
- Your desk with a diffuser in action.
- Flat lays of your favorite products.
- Lifestyle shots of you using the products in everyday moments.
Pro Tip: Don’t overthink it—your audience loves real and relatable!
3. Take Multiple Photos Per Setup
Each setup can give you tons of content options:
- A wide shot of your workspace.
- Close-ups of products or your hands.
- Action shots, like pouring oils or working with your kiddos nearby.
One setup can create 5–7 posts worth of photos if you mix up the angles!
4. Edit for Consistency
Editing doesn’t have to be complicated—use a preset or filter to keep your feed cohesive. Apps like Lightroom Mobile are great for this.
5. Write Captions That Connect
Batch writing captions while the inspiration is fresh is a game-changer. Pro tips:
- Keep it conversational.
- Share a story or anecdote to draw readers in.
- End with a question to spark engagement (like, “Which oil could you never live without?”).
6. Schedule Everything in Advance
Apps like Planoly or Later make scheduling a breeze. Upload your photos, pair them with captions, and set your post times. Boom—your month is planned.
What’s In It For You?
By batching your content, you’ll free up time to focus on what matters most—building relationships, mentoring your team, or just relaxing with your family.
