Social Media is an important part of today’s marketing and exposure of every small business. Presence in the Social Media sphere is important but hard to maintain. Not all of us have the time to be on every social media and post regularly.

The answer is to use a system where you can load your posts into and it will post them wherever and when ever you tell it to. There are a few options like that online today but they all coat money . I use a system that is called Buffer.

Buffer.com is a free, easy to use system that allows you to post on facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter and Google+. For me these are the main social media networks I want to be on so it is perfect for me.

You can define the times of day you want the system to post for you and you can even define different times on weekdays and weekends. You can use the same post and have it on all social media networks or just one of them, it is up to you.

I like to take an hour every Saturday and load my Buffer with posts for a week in advance. This way I have time to do other things like create, write content and promote my work instead of spending my time posting on social media. If you want to post ahead for more days you have the option to upgrade your Buffer for business for a fee.

I recommend you give it a try! It’ll save you lots of time and effort!
