Would you like more followers on your social media, but you don’t have time to spend every moment of the day working on your profile? With these apps you can plan your posts for Instagram, Twitter, Facebook or any other social media account in advance.
Schedule new photos or messages
If you think social media is important, it takes quite some time of the day. You check it to stay informed, but also to share photos and messages yourself. In the end, it takes a lot of hours and you always have to remember to publish something at the right times.
Would you like more reach on social media, but don’t want to make it a day job? Then there are apps that can help you check everything quickly and share messages at the right times. This gives you everything you need to properly maintain your social media apps under one roof.
1. Buffer Publish
Buffer Publish is a well-arranged app that makes managing your social media easy. Sign in to the app and you can then add a social media account. For example, you can log in to Instagram, Facebook and Twitter via the app.
In the app you set a schedule of the number of posts you want to place per day. For example, on Instagram four times a day, or five times on the weekend. You also set the times that you want to post something. You can choose your own time zone, or, for example, that of the United States if you have many American followers. You put messages in the queue and they are posted at the time you set.
2. Hoot Suite
With Hootsuite you can share messages from your Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn or put them in the queue for a later moment. You prepare a new post yourself and publish it immediately, or schedule the post for a later date. Have you already prepared the posts but do you still want to change it? You can also edit your posts in the queue.
You can prepare different posts for different apps in the Publisher list. You can also see in the ‘Streams’ tab whether followers have mentioned you on their account. In addition, you can search for what people are saying about you on social media, and you can also manage your private messages in the app. You can manage up to three apps for free with Hootsuite.
3. Tailwind
The Tailwind app is less extensive, but it works very easily as a result. Under the ‘Drafts’ tab you create a post that you can schedule later. You can also choose to create a post in the ‘Calendar’ tab and directly choose a date and time when you would like to post the post.
The app gives you suggestions for hashtags that score well, so that you can increase your reach. You can also set to get a reminder when it’s time to post an Instagram story. Under the ‘Published’ tab you can see everything that has been posted so far. Unfortunately, you can only log in with one social media account with this app.
