Twitter Content Publishing Tips

Posting on a regular basis can be difficult to maintain over time, which can hinder your business from creating a large following. As your postings become consistent, your followers will begin to anticipate posts from you at a certain time. The following are some social media tools to help simplify your social media activity.

Twitter is a highly time sensitive platform, which means that certain times of the day are more effective to post than others. It primarily depends on the target market that your business is trying to attract. In general, for Business-to-Business marketing, business hours are the most effective times to post on all social media platforms. Whether it be around the morning commute time 8am-9am, lunch time around noon or toward the end of the work day 4pm-5pm. Since you and your team may be occupied at these times, using a content scheduling tool will help the social media accounts for your business active at the right time. The top 2 tools that we recommend for social media content publishing are Hootsuite and Buffer. These are two of the reliable industry-leading tools that simplify the content publishing process.
