Buffer is among a several of these scheduling services, but there are a number of reasons we’re focusing on it this week.

Lets face it, you don’t have time to be stressing about posting on social media on a set schedule. You have a business to run! But regardless, staying active on social media and posting at the right time of day is still a crucial aspect of your social media experience. Buffer will not only save you time, it will ensure that you never miss a post by automatically posting for you according to the schedule you create. It even offers analytics available with a paid membership to help you determine what the best time of day to post is based on your followers and which of your posts have been the most popular.

Buffer’s job is to make yours easier, so overall it’s pretty user friendly. Once you’ve signed up and linked Buffer to your social media accounts (which takes all of two minutes), go ahead and draft your first post!
