♻️ 1. Re-add your best posts from History

The easiest way to fill your queue with relevant posts is to re-add old posts you already sent out.

You don't need to vet the content, because you already posted it once! And you can choose the top-performing posts based on Likes, Shares, Comments and clicks.

Here's how to re-add your best historical posts:

  1. Go to History and pick your profiles in the sidebar

  2. Set the publisher dropdown to "Any Publisher" and click "Refresh posts" to pull in ALL your old posts (this can take a few minutes)

  3. Sort by "Likes" (or "Shares", "Comments" or "Clicks")

  4. Use the checkboxes to select your best posts

  5. Click "Bulk action" and re-queue them

Here's the Bulk action menu:

🌇 2. Upload images (or videos from your Library)

Got a folder with amazing images? You can upload them all at once, and each image becomes its own post.

Here's how:

  1. Open the Composer in multiple-posts mode and choose where the posts go in Step 1 (a Bucket, or "None" for your queue)

  2. In Step 2, drop the files onto the upload box or click "Upload images" and choose them on your computer

  3. For videos, click "Or upload videos from Library", tick the videos you want and click "Create posts"

  4. Fine-tune your posts in Step 3

  5. Add them to your queue or Bucket in Step 4

Here's the upload box in Step 2:

And here's how you pick videos from your Library:

TIP: Put every image you want to post in 1 folder on your computer first, so you can select them all at once. See Way #1 in the bulk article.

📄 3. Add articles from your blog (or any blog)

Got a blog you want to send traffic to? You can turn all its latest articles into social posts in one go.

Just follow these steps:

  1. Open the Composer in multiple-posts mode and choose where the posts go in Step 1 (a Bucket, or "None" for your queue)

  2. In Step 2, paste your blog's RSS feed URL into "Enter RSS feed URL here" and click "Upload articles from feed"

  3. Remove any articles you don't want in Step 3, then fine-tune your captions and network settings

  4. Add them to your queue or Bucket in Step 4

Here's what it looks like:

📊 4. Upload a spreadsheet

A spreadsheet is the fastest way to post in bulk. Each row is 1 post, with its caption, link, image or video, first comment and (if you want) the exact date and time it publishes.

  1. Open the Composer in multiple-posts mode and choose where the posts go in Step 1 (a Bucket, or "None" for your queue)

  2. In Step 2, click "Download sample sheet" and fill in 1 row per post (an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT can fill it in for you)

  3. Click "Upload spreadsheet" and pick your .xlsx or .csv file

Here's where to download the sample sheet:

And here's where to upload it when it's ready:

IMPORTANT: don't delete the instruction rows or move any columns, or the upload only imports the captions. Every column is explained in Way #3.

👍 5. Add top posts from your feeds and Streams

Do you follow a Facebook page, subreddit, Bluesky account or blog that shares amazing content? Post Planner makes it easy to share the best of it on your socials.

Just follow these steps:

  1. Go to Content and open any feed or Stream (or search for one under "SOURCES")

  2. Filter the content by type and time period, and sort by "Stars" (virality), "Likes", "Shares" or "Most Recent"

  3. Tick the checkbox on each post you want, then click "Create posts" to send them all to the Composer

  4. Fine-tune them and add them to your queue or Bucket

Here's what ticking posts in a feed looks like:

  1. Install the extension, give it permission, and make sure it's switched on and pinned

  2. Hover over any image on the web and click the checkbox in its top-left corner

  3. When you've picked every image, click "Create posts"
