I have been using hootsuite.com to schedule facebook and twitter posts. Recently, I have noticed that my scheduled posts using hootsuite usually get less impressions than posts i make on my own. I did a quick google search and realized hootsuite scheduled facebook posts brings your impression rate down a big percentage. It does this only for facebook not for twitter. So does anyone have any good experience with any program out there that I can use to schedule facebook wall posts? Please share!
Best one I've used so far is Sendible. It posts as closely as possible to genuine Facebook posts in terms of links, subject and images, and you can use it to post to Facebook Pages, Groups, Profiles and of course LinkedIn and Twitter. BUT I've seen the same research that these 3rd party apps aren't as good. What can I say - it depends on the amount of work you have updating pages. I have 5-6 pages to update each day at least once, and I manage to do it manually, and I can see a better ratio of 'talking about'. I have a feeling that it's better than scheduling a week in advance. On the other hand, if you have 30 pages, or need to post at weird hours in the night - I would try Sendible (30 days free, if I'm not mistaken).
ya i've heard bad things about scheduling facebook posts. Hootsuite had very bad ratings and i felt it. But i'm not sure if there is a website that will actually let you schedule it and facebook won't penalize the post? Until then i guess i gotta manually do everything and time it i guess.
I just read this: Facebook has fixed its news feed algorithm to stop aggregating posts from all third-party publishing tools, giving them equal treatment." That means your posts from Post Planner will NOT be hidden, aggregated or consolidated together anymore! You will never see "See 12 more posts from Post Planner" again. Awesome, right? To celebrate we're offering a free month of White Label to all new sign-ups (no, I'm not affiliated with Post Planner in any way, I just receive their newsletters )
The best facebook posting software is Facebook Sharer PRO It allows scheduled campiagns, multiple accounts, message lists, etc.
