scheduling
Tweetdeck is a desktop app you can use to basically organise and control your whole Twitter account in one place. You'd think Twitter would actually be the place to do this right? But Tweetdeck has so much more than Twitter in some ways! After mentioning a few times in blog chats that I use Tweetdeck, I've been inundated with questions regarding the different functions it has, and I realised it'd be easier to answer in a full blog post.
Scheduling
Whether you choose to schedule tweets or not is totally up to you, I myself find it massively helpful. I work full time and there is no way I would have the time to remind people of my new posts otherwise. Each night, I schedule some tweets for the following day. I'll have a couple every few hours letting people know of the days new post, a couple sharing my bloglovin link, and maybe one or two linking to an older post (or something from the past week or so).
If you aren't sure how to schedule tweets for a post that hasn't gone live yet, let me show you quickly. In the screenshot below, you can see this post as it is right now (Sorry I use blogger so this part is only helpful to Blogger users!).
You see that option to the right that says 'Permalink'? It has a link underneath it; this is the link to your post. If you tweet it out to people before you publish it, or before it's scheduled to go out; they still wont be able to see it. But copy this link before you finish editing your post, because you'll need this to schedule tweets. Once I have that link, I use it to schedule my tweets for whenever the post is going live.
