Often my clients ask for recommendations for a social media scheduler and which tool do I use, the answer is many! I like to keep my skills fresh and use a variety of different tools. The choice for many small businesses is decided by the cost and user experience. With that in mind, here are a few FREE and simple to use scheduling tools for you to try.
Don’t forget Facebook has its own creator studio, which allows you to create and schedule posts for both Facebook and Instagram. If you haven’t already, download the Business Suite mobile app to stay organised while on the go – this is perfect for keeping on top of your post comments and messages. Also, Tweetdeck for organising Twitter is a very popular choice.
