of time to do it.
Scheduling your Facebook updates in
advance can save you time and hassle.
Benefits of scheduling your Facebook posts:
Reach multiple time zones: Schedule
Facebook posts in advance to reach
audiences around the world.
Improve consistency: Being consistent
with your updates (how often you post and
when) will tell your audience when to
expect new content. Avoiding pauses or
sudden breaks in your social media
schedule to help ensure maximum
engagement.
