I use it to schedule and share my tweets over the day and night. This means my tweets can be going out while I am sleeping, writing, eating or hanging out with the family.
Scheduling tweets
Set up your tweeting schedule in Buffer. I have scheduled six tweets each day. Two of these are in the wee hours of the night for my overseas readers. Each morning I use my computer to top up the tweets.
Buffer is not just for twitter
Analytics
Buffer has inbuilt analytics. This is a great way to see how effective a piece you posted was (or wasn't)
Well, it's free up to a certain point. Once you start managing multiple accounts, then you may need to upgrade and pay a small monthly fee.
I still like to go onto Twitter during the day to read, comment and retweet, but I save time because I don't have to worried about sharing my own posts.
Thanks for the tip Rachel. I knew about buffer, but it's one of those things that I've been procrastinating about for some reason.
ReplyDeleteIt will be really helpful for posting tweets for my international readers!
I had delayed this one for a while but it's so easy and worth using. It would be perfect for you.
DeleteThanks for sharing Rach, very timely info for me off to have a look now
ReplyDeleteGlad I could help :)
DeleteThanks for sharing. Sounds like something i need to sign up to. :)
ReplyDeleteI find it fantastic. Great for time management.
DeleteUse and very much love Buffer. I upgraded and pay $10 a month to be able to schedule in advance while away. x
ReplyDeleteI haven't had to schedule that far ahead. I am only do a day at a time. I am not that organised yet :)
DeleteI've never heard of it, but now I have thanks to you! I'm so glad you wrote about it. I always wondered how people had the time to be constantly writing updates on social media, and thinking I'm just obviously not managing my time as well as others!
ReplyDeleteCheers Rachel! :)
xx
You'll find it so useful. Rx
DeleteThanks Rachel - sounds like I need to get it!
ReplyDeleteYou won't know how you lived without it :)
Deletenever heard of them and will check them out.
ReplyDeleteYou'll love it :)
DeleteI hadn't heard of buffer. I use (and have used) Tweetdeck, Hootsuite and Twitterific but not Buffer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip as I'm always looking for new options.

I haven't used the others but I love this one.
DeleteI was using Buffer, but got out the routine of doing it... I must get back into using it again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder!
I love it, because I can set it up and then walk away for the day. Rxx
