Keep it simple! This is how I post every day:

1. Download photos to your lacie hard-drive

2. Organize your photos into folders on your hard-drive

3. Select favorites/selects in Adobe Bridge

(Sort them by pressing command-9 to make them blue. Copy them back onto your hard-drive.)

4. Copy them to a folder called "selects/favorites" and then you can delete the others if you want.

5. Import your selects to lightroom

6. Edit them / Use presets: https://cleanpresets.com

7. Export them to your "Edited" folder and airdrop them to your phone

8. Organize which photo you want to post next using UNUM

9. Write your caption: the captions are incredibly important, because that is how you can connect with your audience on a deeper level

10. Generate hashtags using Flick: https://app.flick.tech/home

11. Tag friends in the photo, who took the photo, and add your location

POST!

(PS- after you post add the post to your story so more people can see it! This is called content stacking.)
