I remember when I started thinking of social media as a business and FREE way to advertise. I knew I would need assistance with scheduling my posts. As you may know, it's hard trying to figure out captions, hashtags, how often to post and keeping your theme consistent. I did some digging to see if I could find an application or software that provided tips, analytics and assistance with scheduling across multiple platforms. I found several but here are my top 4 auto scheduler apps to use for social.

I use the Later app (formerly known as latergramme) and Preview app.

Here are a few of my favorite scheduling applications:

Later App is free and they have a desktop version which makes it easy if you feel more comfortable on your computer. I use the free version which gives you 30 posts a month. You will be able to view your analytics which provides details on which post are performing better. It also allows your repost as well. The best feature of this app is you can save captions and hashtags to use in future post. It's very easy to use, you can drag and drop your images in the app and arrange your feed. You can unlock additional features such as more analytics on best times to post, IG stories for a small monthly fee.

Preview App is free and great app to used as well. I typically use this app once I reached my maximum limit on Later. This app does not have a desktop verison, however; it provides lots of examples of Instagram themes you can use for inspiration. The free version provides 30 post per month. You can unlock additional features for a small monthly fee.

PLANN app is a free app you can use for Instagram only. One of the features it offers is the ability to post video unlike Later and Preview in the FREE version. This app does not have a desktop verison, however; it provides lots of examples of Instagram themes you can use for inspiration like the previous apps. The free version provides 30 post per month. You can unlock additional features for a small monthly fee.

Planoly app is a free and great for Lifestyle or Fashion Bloggers with "shoppable" content. Although the free version does not include the ability to add "shoppable" product the app provides 30 post per month. This app is only for use with Instagram only. You can also unlock additional features for a small monthly fee.

Have you tried any of these apps? If so, how well are they working for you?
