How to schedule postpone posting on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter!

Posting on social networks when you can or have time is not the most optimal way if you want as many people as possible see your posts. Ideally, post at the times most people are online, and según Hootsuite, those hours are from 9 to 12 am., preferably the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. It is likely that at that time you are working, so you may want to schedule your posts the night of the day before.

Fortunately, there are several tools and apps for Android that will allow you to publish on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social networks at another time, the next day or at the time you decide, that is, postpone a post for the future.

Hootsuite es compatible con Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn y YouTube, however, it allows you to connect for free up to three social networks Y schedule up to 30 posts at a time. If you want to increase these possibilities you should subscribe to the payment service, which starts at $ 19 per month.

The good thing about this tool is that it works well and does not have excessive publicity like others. Also, publish on your social networks as if you had done it yourself manually, that is, for the public rare links or names of other brands will not appear, as has happened to me with tools such as IFTTT O dlvr.it. For administrators only, the ‘Posted by Hootsuite’ notice will appear.

The process of scheduling posts in Hootsuite is relatively straightforward. You must open an account in the app and then touch the round profile button in the upper left to add your social networks. Finally return to the main screen and use the “Compose” tab at the bottom to write your post. When you click «Next», you will be given the option to publish it at that moment or later, at a day and time that you prefer. There is also an automatic option, where Hootsuite chooses the ideal time to publish your content.

The app I am talking about in the images above is called Social Media Post, and yes, it has a lot of publicity and cannot be published on fanpages de Facebook, which is perfectly possible with Hootsuite and Buffr.

A very similar utility to Hootsuite, compatible with LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram y Pinterest. You must also create an account, connect your social networks and start programming. Like Hootsuite, the free version of Buffr only allows hooking up to three social networks (except Pinterest) and schedule up to 10 posts at a time. To improve this you can buy the monthly subscription for $ 15 a month.

The difference between Buffr and Hootsuite is that the former is compatible con Pinterest (Although you can only use it if you are a paying subscriber). However, the Buffr Android app seems to have bugs because scheduled posts never appear in the app, although they do get published. On the other hand, the great thing about Hootsuite is that it has the automatic scheduling, which chooses the best time to post.

Other

As I mentioned before, other applications or tools that offer the option of postpone social media posts son IFTTT Y dlvr.it. The difference between these and Hootsuite and Buffer is that they are more spacious and one of their main features is automate social media posting, reading a source. For example, republish on Facebook every article that is published on this blog. IFTTT can connect to practically any service on the internet and republish it on another, for example, upload Instagram photos to a Facebook album, add YouTube videos to Spotify, etc.

Previously, I also recommended an application called “Schemes”, which allows you to program statuses for Facebook, Twitter, SMS and even Gmail emails. However, on my Huawei with Android 9 its APK no longer works correctly.
