Link Safe

Facebook has a built-in tool that lets you schedule when a post is published. This is handy if you want your post to appear at a particular time of day for maximum impact. But there’s a catch it will only work with posts you make on a public page you’ve created, such as a fan or community page, or a page promoting your business. On your page, type your post as normal, then click the down arrow next to the Publish button and Select Schedule Post. Choose your date and time, then click Schedule. With personal posts on your own timeline, you can click the clock icon and select a date, but this will only let you backdate a post, not schedule it for the future. If you’re looking to schedule personal Facebook posts, we’d recommend using a free third-party tool, such as Hootsuite (bit.ly/hootandroid for Android, apple.co/hootios for iOS). Install the app or sign up at hootsuite.com, and connect your Facebook account. The AutoSchedule function works differently depending on the type of device you’re using but in Android, tap the Scheduled tab, write your post, then tap the calendar icon, set a date and time, and tap Schedule.
