Would The Real Tweet Scheduler Please Stand Up! Meet Buffer [Review]

Posted on February 21, 2011 by leonhard

Do you consider yourself a heave twitter user? If so, I have a new Twitter App I want to introduce you to. Buffer will help you to optimize your precious time so you can achieve the best impact and reach more followers. On top of everything you will remain a genuine personality on Twitter, whilst using Buffer.

Let’s take a look inside.

What’s new about Buffer?

Although Buffer’s intuition is very unique, a first reference is to see it as very different from existing tweet scheduling functions, such as Hootsuite’s, Social Oomph’s or CoTweets’. Instead of scheduling each individual tweet, there are pre-set times at which your added tweets go out. To me this means it is a highly intuitive and “no hassle” approach to add tweets to my Buffer.

After your account is created, you can choose to change the default times, which are set. I have only done this once and after that I can forget about setting times.

Also you can add additional timeslots, your bit.ly details or another team member to collaborate with you.

What makes Buffer truly AWESOME

Once you have your Buffer account, I strongly suggest you install one of the available browser extension. You will be able to add tweets to your Buffer right there from any browser.

So whenever you like an article, hit the Buffer icon and add to your Buffer. It couldn’t be simpler. You can choose to either edit the tweet like we did below or add to Buffer right away with the suggested text from the application.

So for example I fancied to share Vijay’s post below and simply hit the Buffer icon. This is what happens:

After you added Tweets to your Buffer

Once your Buffer is filled up with tweets, you can relax, as Buffer will be sending them out for you during the day. If you return back to the dashboard, you can always move tweets around by dragging, edit them or view your sent tweets.

Why would I enjoy using Buffer?

If you tweet a lot, Buffer will make your life a lot easier. Whilst you are reading blogs, you give it one click on the Buffer icon, if you think this content is worth sharing.

I feel this means no extra effort for me, yet I consistently share great content with my followers since using Buffer.

What I particularly enjoy is the great feeling of a full Buffer that will keep my followers posted in the coming hours or days. After you have been using Buffer for a while, always topping up with another tweet, whenever an article is useful, your twitter experience will run smoothly and without extra efforts.

You should give it a try and let me know below what your views are!

Facebook is a site designed for communication and is a great place to promote your business. The more people that “like” your company on facebook, the better your page will be able to promote your page. When a company develops a set of “fans” on facebook, its name will appear on more and more news feeds, and the company page will grow on its own. After you have created a page for your business, here are some tips to help promote the facebook page and in return, the company itself.

how to promote your business on facebook

Add Your Fans:

While you are viewing the “edit” area of the facebook page, click the “Marketing” tab and “Tell your Fans.” Through this method of promotion, you are able to add email addresses from your online email account or from a computer-based email program. There are simple instructions provided to add these contacts. We suggest you take this opportunity to include all of your clientele. If your clients or consumers like your product or service, they would be likely to “like” it on facebook.

Create an Advertisement:

In the same “Marketing” section, follow the link “Advertise on Facebook.” If you are interested in spending money to advertise, this may be a good idea. You are allowed to select a demographic that your ads should be used for. Advertising is always important for a business’ success.

Invite your Friends & Ask Them To Do the Same:

Sure, you don’t want to be asking everyone you are friends with on facebook to add all of their friends, but it is a good idea to ask a few close friends to invite their friends to like your page. Perhaps you can offer them a facebook favor in return. Send an email to everyone that works for the company. Ask that anyone on facebook invites all of their friends to “like” the company on facebook. Be sure to provide them with the link, so it is not an inconvenience for them to do so.

“Like” Posts, Pictures, and Events On The Page:

By liking something on the company page, you are linking yourself to the company. Actions that you perform on facebook can appear in your friends’ news feeds. This is a great way to draw attention to the company facebook page. If one of your friends is reading their news feed, and they see “Your Name likes the status of Your Company,” then this friend may be curious enough to click on your company’s link. The link will be active on their news feed, so it’s no trouble to find it. After following the link to the company’s page, your friend has the option to “like” the page. The more people that have this experience, the more likely your company is to get “fans.” Also, just as you asked your co-workers to like the page itself, remind them from time to time to like the activity on the facebook too.

Update Your Page Frequently:

Once you have fans, the updates you make will appear on their news feeds. If you update the company status at least twice a week, many people will see your name. This is the key to advertising, getting your name out there. Also, don’t be afraid to make your status non-business related. Sure it’s nice to keep your updates related to your company, but it’s a good idea to mention holidays and events as well. Many your favorite sports team just won a big game. This is good time to get some more interest in the facebook page. Other fans of the team may see your status and “like” it or at least appreciate it. Always be positive on your facebook status updates, and you will develop a positive image.
