Automation for Authors—Working Smarter, Not Harder in 2023

Here for the replay!

Quick question: does the TikTok downloaded work on the phone or is it a laptop/computer only thing?

I’m about to release my debut in August, so this was very timely and amazing, AND you have convinced me to do a newsletter (I was so adamant that I wasn’t going to even though everyone says you should)
The thought of being on all the socials was really overwhelming me, but you’ve made it look extremely manageable, which I’m totally here for!
Thank you 🙏

Thank you, I am soo excited to implement these to make my life soo much easier.

Didn’t made it during the live so here for the replay! Love the presentation, and I would definitely rewatch this multiple times for when I’m ready to take the marketing steps down the road.

Here for the replay! So glad I got to see this.

Why do you use Plany and Smarterqueue? Can’t you do all of this from Smarterque?

This was super helpful!

Replay crew! The smarter Queue flow is so brilliant! I've never heard of that before. So excited to check it out. You're brilliant.

This was so good. Thank you. I’m excited to try Smarter Queue!

So glad this is saved!

Wow, thank you! I had almost given up on those conferences/masterclass types of videos because often times, someone is trying to sell their thing, giving a bit of information but not too much… and with a little bit of experience, we already know most of it and we are here for nothing. BUT YOURS! I was blown away by that. So much value in your one hour topic, thank you so much! And even better: usuable also in France, where I am! (often times, self-publishing topics about publishing/market/companies itself don't apply for me)

Great video!!!
A few questions
Why do you not use smartque for insta?
Please to a video on face of pixels! It’s so confusing for me!

I found this so helpful!

I DID IT! I'm so excited to try SmarterQueue, Courtney! Thanks for highlighting them. I think I'll like them more than the one I'm using for my client, Planable...

Thank you so much @thecourtneyproject for turning me on to this. I was drowning trying to manage 3 pen names which meant 2 instagrams, 2 facebook groups, 3 facebook pages and a pinterest. This has freed up so much time. I literally scheduled months worth of content in a few hours.

Thanks! This was fabulous. I have been wanting to post my TTs to IG but could not handle downloading and reuploading, and you've made it so easy. I'd heard about recycling posts but thought it wouldn't be good, but OMG now the lightbulb has finally turned on and I can see this is going to save my life. Thank you!!!!

I've been using Smarterque to do my evergreen teasers and posts to Instagram. Used hashtags and posts for me. But might try your way for the reels.

This feels like a silly question but how do you get the memes you pick? Do you just copy them and post? Or do you make all your own? Thanks

So much great info, thank you!! I saw the video title and dreaded watching, because I was worried you would advocate for ChatGPT or other "AI". I'm SO relieved to hear that you're dedicated to authenticity with readers! I was out of work due to the WGA strike for months, this is what we were fighting against! It's good to see solidarity among publishing as well 😊

Hey Courtney! First of all thanks for all the time and hard work you put into your channel for all of us. I am a disabled Air Force Veteran that runs an online ministry. I Have written poetry as well as inspirational writings. I would like to purchase copies of my poetry book and need to find a company that will make copies for reasonable prices. I do not need to be on amazon on any sites for sale. I will be sharing the copies with Family and Friends as well as asking for donations for my books as a ministry. Who do you recommend for a reasonable price? Thanks for any help you can give me. Stephen Lewis - Relevance For Today

As of Jan 2024: I am no longer using flodesk and cannot recommend their service. I will do an update at a later time!


Since I few people have asked this, thought I’d pin a post.

The only reason I’m using both SmarterQueue and Planoly is because I prepaid for a year of Planoly before I started using SmarterQueue more religiously. When my year on Planoly ends, I will 100% use SmarterQueue for everything.

Also, there is a way to see your Instagram schedule posts on SmarterQueue like a feed. 🙌 Click on your Queue then on the right hand side it says Instagram Feed. 🎉
