What if there were a way to plan your blogging and twitter post while planning your other marketing activities?
We’ve talked about TweetLater and how a good balance of live, real time tweets mixed with some scheduled tweets about your current promotion can save you time and get results.
Now you can co-ordinate these tweets with blog posts, status updates to other social media sites and your schedule for business, marketing and even your personal life.
In my consulting practice, I deal with successful authors and business people that are reluctant to blog or post to social media sites because they are concerned about the time commitment involved.
I know this is an issue for most bloggers. Most of the successful bloggers that are blogging as a part time activity use some form of schedule to get it all done. Some resort to paying an assistant to handle all the posting to make sure that posts go live at the times readers expect them.
One client writes most of his business advice posts weeks in advance. He has a strong following and great content. When I asked him how he did it with his busy schedule of speaking and consulting, he admitted that he paid a full time assistant to handle it.
By regularly posting useful original content that is helpful to readers, authors build up a following online and receive requests for interviews, business propositions and an increase in leads that are looking for more of what they see you do online.
Imagine how much money he’s saving by switching over to PostLater. When I told him how it’s only $9.95, he asked “is that per post?” The price is really so low that you’ll wonder if it’s a mistake. No, that the cost to you for as many accounts and posts as you want each month.
Have you been using TweetLater, PostLater or similar scheduling tools?

Following your link I’ve just learnt something new. When you schedule blog posts for a future time on wordpress, which I do on occasions, the pings still go out when you press publish – not when the post actually appears. This is something PostLater will rectify.

Thanks for the great tip! I’ve been using Twitterfeed, but will check out PostLater too.

I am not sure why you would need to pay for this service?
Blogging platforms such as Wordpress.org and Typepad.com allow you to schedule your posts – you can then use other free online services to syndicate your feed from your blog posts to Twitter and other platforms.
Am I missing something here?
