Do you know if they schedule in your time zone or if you can schedule them in another time zone on purpose? I live in the middle of the Pacific.

I'm not sure about that. Maybe ask the help chat bot??

Great stuff, Kristi.

(As usual.)

Also I like how you say the paywall isn't a boundary, "it's an invitation," lol.

You know it!

If it was an invitation to a party, it would be a really lame party though lol. Nobody wants to come πŸ˜†

Jeffro55's avatar

No, that's not true!

We'd all show up for ANY party you throw...just to hang out wit' ya!

You know how folks love you - and the services you provide!

I'm inclined to think more ppl are in my position (simply cannot afford more charges every month).

Seriously, if I could, I'd be a regular supporter, even if I only needed the help every once in a while..

Cuz YOU are a PRECIOUS RESOURCE.

A delightful, precious resource who should be supported & funded (& heavily rewarded) at all costs!

You show up regularly, in spite of whatever might be going on, and you're always cheering other's success, being helpful to encourage and support us (even when we aren't making "progress"), offering creative suggestions, solutions, and so much more!

You're witty, funny and brimming with creative juices.

You discovered so many solutions to problems I've had that simply were not obvious to me...but YOU easily found them.

(At no cost to me, I might add.... I WISH I could've 'scribed as a PAID member, just for that!)

I, for one, would certainly MISS YOU if you stopped showing up.

And I can tell from other comments that I am NOT alone in those feelings.

I can always feel you "in my corner." And, every day is easier, knowing you're there, somewhere online, but never "unreachable." I always know you'll respond if I contact you, send up a flare, or even a smoke signal.

Your clever names, ideas and jokes are just the ticket we all need.

Face it, Kristi: your adoring crowd loves you and needs you! ❀️

We'd be there for any party of yours!

This just saved me. I've been posting Notes whenever I think of them which means either 3 at once or none for two days. Scheduling lets me batch and stay consistent without living on the platform. Testing this starting today!

Kristi Keller πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦'s avatar

Yessss πŸ‘πŸ‘ People have been asking for this feature for a LONG time.

Adelina's avatar

It's a game changer for someone like me who thinks of 3 Notes at once and then nothing for two days. Already using it…well, trying…habits are tought to change xD I’m working on using it!!!

Kristi Keller πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦'s avatar

That's great! Baby steps and eventually you'll be in the habit.

Kristi, you have such a gift for making things clear and implementable.

I have started doing more batch note-writing and sprinkling them out. From your great list above, I plan to add your pre- and post-article strategy to my publishing checklist.

Great post. Thank you.

Kristi Keller πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦'s avatar

Always a pleasure Elizabeth! If I can help even one person's journey, I feel good 😊

I hope you find it works favorably for you!

Now I don't have to rattle off 5 posts at once and go silent 24 hr after. The algo never seemed happy with that.

Deborah Svec-Carstens's avatar

Just learned about this feature recently, definitely going to use it!

Mary Austin (she/her)'s avatar

This is fun. Thanks so much!

Shellie Enteen's avatar

Thank you...that makes so much sense! And thanks for the walk us through it tutorial, too.

Holly Cook's avatar

This is going to be super helpful. Thank you for sharing!

I scheduled a note everyday this week about tulips 🌷 and it was quick and easy and I just had to search and find all my tulip photos once and write individual notes. Saved my sanity!! Excellent feature. My plan is to batch my scheduled notes each week. Kristi, I love your idea of using the time of posting to see when is optimal visibility. I will try that next week.

Cerina Triglavcanin's avatar

Yes! So true. Most of my subscribers are in the northern hemisphere. I have noticed that some very, very small accounts have had extremely high likes for simple photos, not unlike mine and yet I can struggle to reach over 10. I hope to discover that sweet spot!

Kristi Keller πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦'s avatar

A tulip a day keeps sadness away! Sounds like a great little series you don’t even have to be around for.

And yes, playful with posting times, see if it makes a difference. Especially for you since your time zone is so far away from the greater population here!

I just got back to civilization and am just seeing this update. This could be huge for me. I like to share my photos in Notes, but those mostly live on my computer. I’m away from my computer most of the day and engage in Notes mostly on my phone.

Kristi Keller πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦'s avatar

Yesss that would be great for you. It's such a simple way to stay in touch without actually being around.
