Why schedule posts?
Here are several reasons why:
- Some webmasters receive a lot of blog posts, and in order not to worry about the publishing part, they just review them and then schedule them. When I wrote this article about WooCommerce and Google Analytics for WPkube, the webmaster kindly announced me when my post was scheduled to be published.
- Usually, every blog reaches its traffic peak around a certain time, so that’s when you’ll want to publish your awesome article. But what if you live in Europe, for example, and your audience is in the U.S? I suppose you don’t want to wake up at 5 A.M. to publish your post, right? Therefore, you’ll have to schedule it.
- Maybe you want to take some well-deserved time off, but you still want to have articles posted on your blog. So, what you could do is to write several articles in advance and schedule them to get published while you’re gone. That way, your audience won’t miss you and you can enjoy your time off!
