Staying organized and on-task is essential for any professional. This is especially true for social media managers. For social and editorial content, a tool like Trello is essential to track posts and maintain your sanity.
This week at #SproutChat, Sprout All Star Erica Moss from Trello joined us for a valuable chat around managing a content or editorial calendar with the visual collaboration tool.
Get Your Entire Team on Board for Maximum Efficiency
Trello’s collaboration features are not to be missed. Individual users can gain a lot of organization and productivity and that result is just multiplied with more team members working together on a board. Whether you’re working across specialty, department or across the country, get on the same page quickly by using Trello team features.
A3) Labels help you quickly identify the type of content each card/post represents (case study, lifestyle, etc.) #sproutchat http://pic.twitter.com/2WFWw6tDQg

A3) Checklists and Due Dates help ensure you don’t miss a step (and that everything’s done on time). ⏱ #sproutchat

A3 Sharing boards – Due date – keeps everyone on the same page #SproutChat

A3: Trello also is awesome for me when I have to queue up tasks for my designer who works remote #sproutchat

Don’t Miss These Trello Features
Take advantage of all the integrations with other tools for maximum efficiency. Having tools “talk” to each other will kill tedious tasks and allow you to focus on what’s really important. Trello has a lot of other capabilities to decrease the amount of time you need to spend on administrative tasks.
A4) Power-Ups! They help bring apps seamlessly into your @trello workflow. #sproutchat http://pic.twitter.com/PWNzBsSC5g

A4) Think: @googledrive for writing. Calendar for scheduling. Card Repeater for regular posts. @harvest for time tracking. #sproutchat
— Erica Moss (@ericajmoss) September 21, 2016
A5) We use Card Repeater for the data so it shows up weekly & can be referenced in meetings. https://t.co/RVdZAMWHGW #sproutchat
— Erica Moss (@ericajmoss) September 21, 2016
A5) We use @zapier + other bots to funnel info to @trello (think: Google Analytics stats on most popular + referrals). #sproutchat

A4: Check out the @twitter, calendar, @googledrive, @dropbox and @evernote Power-Ups #SproutChat

I often use @trello less for long-term planning and more like a daily interactive to-do list. Keeps things movin along! #SproutChat

A4 Attach files and docs – utilize the due date #SproutChat
— Toby Metcalf (@Toby_Metcalf) September 21, 2016
A5: A #contentcalendar housed on #trello can def help track metrics bcoz of the transparency it gives about tasks. #sproutchat
— Yogita Malik Arora (@Yogita_M) September 21, 2016
@SproutSocial a lot of people don't use the calendar feature, which is surprising. It's essential to me. #SproutChat
— ScarletRegina (@ScarletRegina) September 21, 2016
@SproutSocial A4: Inspiring boards! These are great tools if you're running low on inspiration/ideas for projects. #SproutChat

A6) I have one board that is my own: I keep track of what’s in progress, ideas I have, best practices & processes. #sproutchat http://pic.twitter.com/qMc9rJnD3q
