What is delayed posting and how does delayed posting work in Telegram? Let's figure it out!
Posts should not only be interesting but also be published regularly. This simple rule will help the channel quickly gain popularity and maintain subscriber interest. But if you manage multiple channels and social networks, the publication process itself can take a lot of time. In this case, delayed posting comes to the rescue.
What is delayed posting
Delayed posting is the automatic publication of already prepared posts on social networks. Delayed posting services allow you to schedule publications for any time period.
In a single window, you need to create a post, mark those social networks and accounts where it should appear, specify the necessary time. Then create another post, and another— as many as needed. That's it! Posts will be published sequentially according to the time you specified, without your direct participation.

Delayed posting in Telegram via Postmypost
Bots and the delayed posting feature are good when you have 1-2 channels. But what if there are more? And you also publish posts not only in TG channels but also in social networks? In this case, auto-posting services would be the best solution.

How do they work? Let's consider the example of Postmypost.
- In a single window, create a publication of any format: write text, add photos, videos, stories.
- Select the accounts and channels where the publication should appear. For example, personal VK and Odnoklassniki accounts, groups in VK and Instagram, channels in Telegram — there can be any number, as many as you need.
- Choose the time when the publication should be released and press the "Schedule" button.
The publication will be released precisely at the time you specified in the accounts you specify. By the way, in the auto-posting service, you can schedule as many publications as needed for any period. For example, daily post releases over several days, weeks, or months. And even schedule a repost of a post not yet published! And most importantly — all of this can be done in one day, and the time freed from routine can be devoted to other important tasks.
