takes time, but it's so so crucial
to the success of your business.
There have been tools to help you
save time by scheduling your posts
ahead of time.
Third party apps like hootsuite
and timely are great time savers...
but they have a downside.
Sharing is Caring
When you use a third party app to schedule your posts on facebook, something is missing.There is NO share button!
You want people to be able to share your posts with their friends. You WANT your posts to go viral, but that can't happen if they can't share them.
So you could either save time and use a third party
OR
post directly from Facebook when you remembered to do it and have "unshareable" posts
Drumroll Please...

ReplyDeleteThis is only for Like pages. On personal pages you can only back date, and you can't do this on Group pages. Hoping this changes soon, and you can do it for all of them :)
