Timing Your Tweets
Have you ever wondered how companies and businesses stay so active on social media? Whether it is Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Pinterest, something is almost always be shared, posted, or reposted. This is getting easier and easier to do with the functions of stories, retweeting and sharing, but I have always been curious as to how these posts are being kept up with and monitored.
When reading through the first three chapters of Guy Kawasaki's, The Art of Social Media, I thought the idea of setting up timers for your posts and tweets was really interesting, and something I had never thought of doing.
This would be really beneficial if your company, brand, etc. needed things posted throughout all times of the day especially since it isn't always convenient to have to stop the work you're doing to make a social media post. This would also help out a lot if you were going on vacation and still needed to make posts as well, this allows the "content monster" to be fed, but still allows the writer to stay sane and not completely stressed.
The content monster comes from the idea that people are constantly craving new information, stories, and thoughts from other people. Keeping up with this concept in our society can be extremely difficult considering the people who work in social media have lives outside of it.
Kawasaki gives multiple websites and programs that allow creators and writers to time their posts for all social media platforms, a few of these include Buffer, Friends+Me, Hootsuite, Sprout Social, and Tweet Deck. Having these tools will allow for not only more information to be put out onto your social platform, but also will allow your company or business to reach more people considering different demographics are busy and free at different times throughout the day.
Will you start timing your tweets? What are your thoughts?
