Why my I recommend this tool to VIP Video Day clients
If you’re running a business, creating content is only half the battle. The real challenge? Getting that content out consistently across multiple platforms without losing your mind.
That’s why I use Metricool.com. —and why I recommend it to anyone who’s tired of juggling multiple schedulers, spreadsheets, and reminders. Even better, I combine it with ChatGPT to brainstorm, draft, and polish the posts I schedule through Metricool. Together, they’ve become my “content operations team” that keeps things moving even when my ADHD brain wants to wander.
Let me break down exactly why I chose Metricool, how to set it up, and how I use it alongside ChatGPT.
Why I Picked Metricool Over Other Tools
I’ve tried just about every scheduler out there: Hootsuite, Buffer, Later, you name it. Here’s why I landed on Metricool:
All-in-one dashboard – I can manage LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest, and even Google Business Profile from one place.
Auto-publishing – No more reminders to post manually. Metricool connects directly to your accounts and handles it.
Smart planning calendar – Instead of copy-pasting, I drag, drop, and repurpose the same piece of content across platforms in seconds.
Analytics – It doesn’t just schedule posts—it shows me what’s working (and what’s not), so I can double down on what actually drives results.
Ad management – If I want to test boosting a post or running ads, I don’t have to leave the platform.
Other schedulers felt either too stripped-down or too bloated. Metricool hits the sweet spot: powerful, but simple enough that I’ll actually use it.
How to Set Up Metricool
If you’re new, here’s the quick setup guide:
Sign up – They offer a free plan, which is enough to get started. Paid plans unlock more profiles and deeper analytics.
Connect your accounts – Link the platforms you use most. (I recommend starting with just two or three to keep it simple.)
Import your past posts – Metricool can pull in previous content so you can see what worked historically.
Explore the calendar – This is where the magic happens. You’ll see a drag-and-drop interface where you can create posts, schedule them, and even set recurring times.
Check analytics – Before posting new content, review what’s been performing well. This helps guide your strategy instead of throwing spaghetti at the wall.
How I Recommend Clients Use Metricool + ChatGPT Together
Here’s the system I teach and use with clients:
Record a video (or pull a transcript)
If you already have long-form content (like a podcast episode, YouTube video, or webinar), you’re sitting on gold. Don’t reinvent the wheel—repurpose it.
Copy-paste the transcript into ChatGPT
Literally, just drop the raw transcript in and prompt ChatGPT with something like:
“Based on this transcript, write a LinkedIn post that summarizes the key points in my brand voice.”
You can also ask:
“Turn this into a short Instagram caption.”
“Write 3 tweet-style versions of this idea.”
“Give me highly converting, SEO-friendly hashtags for Instagram and LinkedIn.”
This step turns hours of “what do I say?” into polished drafts in minutes.
Tweak the drafts (optional)
I encourage clients to lightly edit to make sure it feels like their voice. But even if you don’t, the posts are still strong and usable.
Load into Metricool
Take the posts from ChatGPT and paste them into Metricool’s planner.
Drag them into the right slots.
Repurpose across platforms (shorter for X/Twitter, more formal for LinkedIn, casual for Instagram).
Add hashtags ChatGPT generated.
Schedule and forget
Once the content is scheduled, you don’t have to think about it again. Metricool handles the publishing.
Review analytics
At the end of the week or month, check which posts performed best. Then go back to ChatGPT and say:
“This post about XYZ did well. Write me three new versions of it with different hooks.”
You’re never starting from scratch again.
Why This Combo Works
Metricool gives me structure → I know when and where my content is going out.
ChatGPT gives me flow → I never run out of ideas or spend hours rewriting captions.
Together → I can batch a month’s worth of content in just a few hours.
And that’s the whole point. Most business owners don’t have time to treat social media like a full-time job. But with the right tools, you don’t need to.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve been struggling to stay consistent with content, I can’t recommend this combo enough. Start with the free Metricool plan, link your top platforms, and let ChatGPT take the heavy lifting off your shoulders when it comes to brainstorming and drafting posts.
You’ll finally be able to show up online without burning out—and that’s the real win.
