I am all about trying to maintain boundaries between my personal life and my business, as well as being efficient! Hootsuite is one of the ways I can make that happen! Hootsuite is a scheduling program that will let you schedule your social media as far in advance as you want!
With a free Hootsuite account, you can link it to three social media accounts. I have mine linked to my facebook business page and my twitter account. I did link my instagram account, but ended up using this app instead for instagram.
Below is a screenshot of what I see when I log into my hootsuite account.
To schedule your posts, you click on the top left corner, and choose which social media outlet you want to post to. Once you’ve chosen your profile, you can enter text, include links, post photos and so on! You use the calendar button to schedule WHEN you want your posts to be live!
In this screenshot below you can see how I’ve scheduled posts to my twitter account! I heavily use hootsuite to schedule to my facebook page. Before we went on our roadtrip this past summer, I was able to schedule 7 or 8 posts to facebook in advance that linked to my blog!
I LOVE using this program because it’s free, it’s easy, and it keeps things simple for me. It also helps to keep me from being on social media any more than I want to!
