Launch your social presence in 7 steps [free PDF checklist] | Later

Starting from zero on social media is overwhelming, unless you have the right order of operations.

Later's First 7 Days on Social Checklist is a free PDF download that gives you a clear, day-by-day action plan for launching your social media presence from scratch.

Each day has specific, actionable tasks, from setting up your profile and publishing your first post to batching your first week of content, engaging with your niche, reviewing your early analytics, and building the weekly habits that keep you consistent for the long term.

This isn't a vague framework; it's a step-by-step checklist designed to get you from scratch to an active, growing social presence in seven days. By Day 7, you'll have posted, engaged, reviewed your data, and planned Week 2.

What's Inside:

•  Setting up your presence: choose your platforms, optimise your profile, set up Later, and get your link in bio live

• Making your first post: write your introduction post with a strong hook and a clear follow CTA, and publish it

• Batching your first week of content: plan, create, and schedule five posts in one session using Later's scheduling tools

• Optimising your profile: audit your bio, profile photo, highlights, and link in bio for a strong first impression

•  Engaging with your niche: comment, follow, and DM your way into your community with genuine outreach

•  Reviewing your early data: check your analytics, identify what's already working, and adjust your posting schedule

•  Planning week 2: identify one content format to double down on, batch your next week, and set a weekly analytics habit
