How did you go about starting a social media automation business?

Well its something I am interested in and figured this would be the place to ask, I currently use a multilogin browser + tdub to run multiple accounts of my own, but I make no money from this I just lose money lol.

Also how does a VPS help in this situation? I've read some people use a VPS....

Anyway, figured it would be a cool discussion, so:

How did you go about starting a social media automation business?​

So, yes, as many people here have said, you can schedule posts natively inside of social media platforms, and there are also 3rd party scheduling platforms.
As someone who's been in marketing for a decade++ and worked with many entrepreneurs, sometimes creating less content that is less automated has a more authentic approach to it, which is advantageous for myriad reasons.
Scheduling content occasionally isn't a bad thing, but it can backfire. (A pre-scheduled post can appear tone-deaf if a major national event happens in real time.) Social media algorithms, in general, favor content that drives connection and community.
It's a lot to juggle, and it can be really difficult for entrepreneurs to balance running a business, marketing, etc. But I hope you find something that works really well for you! Best of luck!!
