We are all very busy and finding time to post content on your social media platforms consistently can be challenging. For the past several months I have been using various apps that have assisted me in keeping consistent in posting on my social media platforms.
Here are the best resources and tools for Social Media Managers:
Post Planner makes it easy for you to find and share amazing top performing content consistently for Facebook. You can schedule and share the best content available which in turn gives you the best engagement.
With Latergramme you can upload, schedule and manage your Instagram posts from your computer or mobile devices. What I enjoy about Latergramme is that it gives me an alert when my posts are ready for posting on Instagram on the day and time I've scheduled (you can also share your Instagram posts to Twitter and Facebook via your Instagram app).
There are many apps out there but for Pinterest scheduling, you have to search a little harder. I have found the following tools you can use to get started as soon as possible.
For another free option, Viraltag is a social dashboard tool that lets you schedule and post images to up to three social networks, including Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Pinterest. The Pinterest scheduling tool is especially great; because you can select the specific board you want, add a description and a source and then set the time and interval for posting.
I found that Everypost is one of the few choices out there that offers free Pinterest scheduling for as many pins as really want. It comes only in the form of a mobile app. It's a complete, all-in-one social media managing app. It also works with Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn and Tumblr. You can download Everypost for free for iPhone and Android.
Google+
Google+ is not a very popular social media platform in my opinion, however, if you do use I have that the best app for scheduling Google+ posts is Buffer. I have found that there are many great apps out there for scheduling Google+ content, however, Buffer is FREE. No need to pay for other apps especially if Google+ is not a Social Media platform you regularly use.
Postfity lets you set post directly on multiple social accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn at the same time using the "post now" option.
Remember, these may not work for everyone. You have to find what works best for you and your business. Additionally, like anything else, it is trial and error. If it doesn't work for you then try something else. It is all about what works best to help YOU gain the most engagement.
Finally, you should always have a schedule. Scheduling your posts allows you to have to be flexible and allows you the opportunity to create real-time content. By scheduling your posts you will be posting frequently, consistency, and you'll be able to maximize engagement at all times.
