Smartphone Apps that Save Time: Social Media Management

Do you ever find that sometimes you log into Facebook or Twitter just to post one thing and look up at the clock and a whole hour has passed?  Social media can be a huge time suck.

My trick?  Try not to log into them especially when you have more important things to do.

Instead use another tool to post your updates, like Buffer or Hootsuite.

Buffer is a social media management tool that lets you share social media updates across Facebook, Twitter and even LinkedIn and it “buffers” those posts so that they are scheduled to post on a consistent basis.

An alternative is Hootsuite that lets you schedule updates across the same networks as Buffer and you can set the exact date and time you want the update to be posted.

The best part?  You can install both apps on your Smartphone to help you manage your social media on the go and save some time while you’re at it!
