Recruitment Hack #15 - Set And Forget Social Media
Set and Forget Social Media.
Does Tweeting, Facebooking, LinkedIn-ing (is that a word?) and Instagramming seem to take up a lot of your time? I bet it does.
Each day going onto Twitter etc is a time thief. Before you know it you are watching a Thomas the Tank Engine/Beyonce mash-up for the first time and somehow it is 11am. These platforms are designed to be addictive, the longer you are on them the more advertising revenue they get. So beat the social giants at their own game by using Buffer.
Buffer is a brilliant little package which is cloud, website and app-based. Buffer allows you to schedule social media output ahead of time so that you can batch the tasks and then get on with your day. Buffer works by allowing you to decide how many posts to do a day, and what time to send them and then allows you to fill up these slots ahead of time.
Buffer also gives you real-time analytics on how the posts are doing and saves previous posts so they can be shared again in the future if they did well.
Buffer's usefulness does not end there. You can also install a Buffer plugin or the app on Apple products and automatically put useful articles into your scheduled queue.
Buffer also has a host of other features that are worth exploring at http://buffer.com
