There are many Social Media Management tools on the market. I believe there are around three hundred in existence. This blog post is not a review of all of them. Instead I have focused on good Social Media Scheduling tools for content creators. These tools will be of interest to you if you have a minimum of fifty pieces of original content to distribute on an ongoing basis. By original content I mean blog posts or video posts. All of these tools give you the opportunity to build up a library of content and then to create a recurring schedule to distribute your content on your chosen Social Media platforms.

Social Media Scheduling Tools

Meet Edgar

Created in 2013 Meet Edgar is a reliable if not spectacular Social Media Scheduling tool that allows you to build up a library of content and then create a schedule that posts to Social Media on a recurring basis. Platforms included are Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, Most of the criticism of Meet Edgar tends to focus on two points. First of all, the entry point is $49 per month which some business owners think is expensive. Secondly, Meet Edgar cannot post to all Social media platforms. Instagram and Pinterest are often mentioned in this context. This is because of the apps themselves rather than any failing of Meet Edgar. The Meet Edgar team continues to work on incremental improvements to the platform.

EClincher

Compared to Meet Edgar EClincher has a lower entry point at $15 per month for 5 social media profiles. Many people I have spoken to rate Eclincher as their favourite among social media scheduling tools. If I was starting to schedule social media for the first time I would probably choose eClincher. Platforms included are Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ Company Page. Click here to start your free trial of eClincher.

Smarter Queue

Ostensibly Smarter Queue has the same key features as the first two social media scheduling tools discussed. It allows you to build up a library of evergreen content and post to several social media platforms. The platforms you are able to post to are Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. The tool is still in Beta and has not released its pricing so this may be a reason to hold fire until it becomes more established.

SM Queue

SM Queue is another tool in this increasingly crowded Social Media Scheduling tools marketplace. The creators of the platform are following a freemium business model and have free accounts for up to 3 social media profiles available. As you add functionality and social media profiles you will move into the paid tariffs. Platforms included are Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. What deterred me from exploring further was the fact that their ‘About’ page has been under contruction for at least 7 months. I first looked at their site 7 months ago. Also, there does not seem to be any recent content on their website but their Twitter account is active. You can set up a free account here.

Tweet Adder: How Did I Replace Tweet Adder?

Video Transcript:
Hello everyone. Thanks for coming back to the channel. Over the last year the question that I have been asked most on this channel via comments and messages is, How did I replace Tweet Adder? In this video, I will answer that question so keep watching.

First of all, a quick recap and some context for those of you who do not know what Tweet Adder was.

Tweet Adder was paid-for software that allowed you to build up a library of tweets and then schedule to repeat on a random and recurring basis. There was no need to schedule tweets on a weekly basis. It was a great time saver!

Here’s a clip from my Tweet Adder Tutorial – Features and Strategy …

In 2015 Twitter blocked Tweet Adder’s API access and effectively shut it down.

Here ‘s a clip from my Tweet Adder is Dead: What Now? Video.

After I uploaded that video in June last year I began a search for a suitable replacement for Tweet Adder. Over the course of the next 3 months I tested and evaluated many software products . By August I had found one I was willing to commit to. I could have made this video then but I wanted to use the replacement product for at least 6 months and work through any queries with their customer service team before I gave it my recommendation here

The product I am now using is called Meet Edgar

Meet Edgar allows to you build up a Content Library and set up recurring posts tor Twitter but also for LinkedIn and Facebook.

Here’s a little bit more about Meet Edgar

So there you have it. Meet Edgar is how I replaced Tweet Adder. If you want to learn exactly how I use Meet Edgar click the top link in the description box.

Thanks for watching all the way through I look forward to speaking to you in the next video.
