Using CSV files to schedule social media posts is a convenient way to save time.

With Onlypult, you can schedule up to 100 posts at once using a specially prepared template. This downloadable template includes guidelines for placing links, media, text, and other elements. You can download a sample file to see how to properly organize your content before uploading it to Onlypult, a template with an example to fill out is available at links.
