If you schedule a week’s worth of posts in advance, you’ll save much of the time that it would take to create those posts  in  the moment. Additionally, you won’t need to set up reminders or notifications to make your posts at a certain time, and you won’t have to go out of your way to log in and finalize your posts. 2. Content Management. Organizing your content on social media can be a big task, especially if you’re managing multiple accounts.
