Schedule posts on Facebook
Facebook is finally making it easy for us to schedule posts through Facebook itself. Here’s how to do it.
1) Go to your Business Page and type something in the box. You’ll see a clock in the lower left.
2) Click on the clock icon and it’ll give you a link to “add year”. Click on that, you’ll get a drop down menu with years. Choose the one you want to use.
3) Then, it will prompt you to add the month. Next, it will prompt you to add the day and finally the time.
Scheduling messages can be a tremendous time saver.
Not only can you schedule in batches, but you can schedule it for times when it’s most likely to be seen by your audience rather than when it’s convenient for you.
When to Post
Statistics show people are on Facebook after typical work hours and on the weekend.
So, if you post at 3:00 on a Monday, you’re limiting your audience. However, if you post at 10:00 at night, more people will see your post.
Best times to post vary by audience so you’ll have to experiment. Facebook tells you how many people saw your post, so use that as a guide as you post at different times.
Scheduling directly into Facebook rather than using Hootsuite or another 3rd party scheduling tool, will benefit you because Facebook will give your posts a higher ranking. This means more of your audience will see your post.
Scheduling messages is not an option for personal pages at this time.
