Posting to social media is a cheap and easy way to drive traffic to your website through direct links and increased search engine optimization (SEO).
If you want to schedule your posts ahead of time, you have a couple options. Some social sites (like Facebook) allow you to schedule posts right from the platform. You can also consider using a third party dashboard to schedule your posts. For instance, you could schedule your social media posts for the entire month on the first Monday of the month and not have to worry about posting again for 30 days.
Here are some sites that offer free and low cost scheduling:
Buffer.com
Hootsuite.com
Tweetdeck.twitter.com
You can find more sites by Googling “social media scheduling”
Also, if you need to shorten a URL, the web site Bit.ly works really well.
Below are some social media posts ProTrain has compiled. Feel free to use them – and re-use them. The shelf life of a social media posts is not very long, so sharing the post a couple weeks or months later is an easy way to keep your accounts active.
Twitter posts should be short, to the point, include a link, and include a hashtag. Simply copy the tweet you want to post, add your program’s information, and post to Twitter.
