Steps to create AWS snapshot automatically

I checked this answer but its not clear the steps to follow to create a automatic aws snapshot from a EBS volume.

In the AWS documentaion they talked about creating a new Snapshot but not how to do it automatically?

Can anyone tell be the steps to make snapshot automatically on regular basis?

You can use the API and create a windows task locally on your computer to run this command daily or weekly.

for example

ec2-create-snapshot vol-xxxxxxxxx --description "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
