Schedule your first post

Set up a Brandspace, connect a login, select a channel and save your first dated post. Follow these steps when starting with an empty SME account.

Set up the place for your work

A Brandspace groups the people, brands, posts and media for one area of work. A brand is the name the audience sees. Start with one Brandspace and one brand, then add more when your work calls for them. A product can label a post topic under a brand, but it is optional for a first post. Read How SME is organised before adding more layers.

1. Open the Brandspace menu and choose Add Brandspace if you need a separate business space.
2. Open Brandspace settings and choose Add brand. Give it your brand's name.
3. If you use products, add one under the brand. You can leave this until you need it.

Connect, write and schedule

First connect your own platform sign-in, then choose the Page or profile the brand can use. The connection is your sign-in; the channel is the destination for posts. The connection guide and channel guide show those separate steps.

1. Open Connect, then Logins, and select Add a login.
2. Finish the platform sign-in and return to SME.
3. Open Connect, then Channels. Under Where to post, select the destination and assign it to your brand.
4. Select Compose. Choose the brand and channel, write the copy, and add a picture if the channel requires one.
5. Set Date and time, review the preview and any channel warnings, then choose Save and approve if you have approval permission. Otherwise choose Save and send for review.
