party tools such as HootSuite and Buffer. Check out the links to these tutorials
in the description box below or you can use Facebook's
own scheduling feature which is extremely easy to use. Let's go over to
my computer now and I'll show you how so you start off by going to your Facebook
page and in this section it says write something I'm going to schedule a blog
post that I want to appear later in the future so I'm grabbing the link to the
blog post and then I'll paste it into this section here and Facebook will
pre-populate the post to appear now you can change the title and the description
here alternatively if you have a wordpress website you can install the
Yoast SEO plugin and then you can set what you want the title and the Facebook
description and the image to be here and if you do it from the post itself that
means that if someone else shares your blog post to their Facebook page you
will have the description and the headline as you would want it to appear.
So I have my post and I'm ready to schedule it and I click on the bottom
right-hand corner where it says publish the little arrow here and then I'm going
to click on schedule and this brings up the scheduling option so I can select
date and a time so I'm going to go ahead and click on that and I'm going to
schedule it for Monday to appear at 9:00 a.m. the other thing that you can do in
your schedule section which I don't really know why you would do it but
Facebook have an option for you to stop the distribution of this article or post
in the newsfeed so if you say have a time-sensitive piece of content that you
want pushed out and you only want it to appear in the newsfeed for a certain
time you can put your starting date and if you click on stop you speed
distribution then you can put the date that you want Facebook to stop
distributing this item in the newsfeed I'm not going to do that in this case so
I'm going to click off it but it's just an option for scheduling your content so
now that I have the date selected I'm going to click schedule after Facebook
has scheduled it you'll be able to see it on your Facebook page here and in the
top section in publishing tools and if you click on that you'll see scheduled
posts and there's your post here and if you click on it once again it enables
you to view the post and also edit it if you want to make any changes so that's
pretty cool and that's essentially how you schedule a Facebook post so there
you have it a step-by-step walkthrough of how to schedule your post on Facebook
