As a virtual assistant, I love it when I find new tools that make my job so much more efficient and I’ve discovered that tool.
It’s called Gramblr and I found it through an article posted on Social Media Examiner.
It’s as easy as it sounds.
In the past, I’ve used Hootsuite to post to Instagram, but I still had to send them from my phone. I would schedule them in Hootsuite and then I would get a notification on my phone from Hootsuite, have to open the file then post to Instagram.
No more. All I had to do is download the desktop application and I was all set to go. I did have to enter my username and password for Instagram and enter my handle for Twitter.
How It Works
To open on Mac OS X, right click (or CMD+click) and select open, click open in the message box.
Once you have Gramblr’s photo uploader (version 1), you just:
- Sign in to Instagram
- Choose the photo you would like to upload
- Add a caption
- Hit upload
- If the text boxes are empty on the confirmation window, something went wrong… try again and it should work!
It’s really that easy! I love this new application and I’ll be using it with all of my clients as well.
